• Integrated high-speed serial transceivers supporting multi-gigabit data transmission standards.
• Significant embedded memory capacity for on-chip data buffering and processing tasks.

Applications

• High-performance telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Enterprise networking switches and routers
• Industrial automation control systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation carefully during acquisition. Datasheet records indicate that the C1G suffix variant is currently listed as active, whereas the C1N suffix may be discontinued or subject to different availability constraints. Confirm current lifecycle status and RoHS compliance directly with authorized distributors before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this model when design requirements demand high logic density combined with substantial serial connectivity. The 36-transceiver configuration suits applications requiring multiple high-speed interfaces. Ensure the PCB layout accommodates the 1152-ball BGA footprint and thermal management needs associated with the 28-nm Stratix V platform.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets high-speed serial communication markets. It shares architectural similarities with other 5SGX devices but offers specific resource scaling. The GX series distinguishes itself through optimized transceiver performance compared to the GT or GS variants within the same generation.

Replacement Considerations

Public documentation confirms the 5SGXEA3K2F35C1G as a verified substitute part number within the same product line. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical specifications before implementing any cross-suffix replacement in existing hardware designs.
