• Industrial automation systems

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to potential availability constraints. Confirm the specific suffix 'W' matches project requirements, as it may denote environmental or packaging variations distinct from standard commercial grades. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and thermal management solutions before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this model when high-density logic and significant embedded memory are required alongside moderate I/O counts. Consider the 1517-ball package size for board space constraints. Evaluate power consumption profiles against available cooling capabilities, as high-performance FPGAs generate substantial heat during operation.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, designed for applications requiring robust signal integrity and high-speed data processing. It represents a generation of FPGAs optimized for telecommunications and industrial markets, balancing performance with power efficiency compared to previous generations.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Stratix V variants such as 5SGXEA3K2F40C3N or 5SGXEA3K2F40C2L, though pinout and electrical specifications must be verified. Cross-family migration to Intel Agilex or Arria series requires significant design revalidation.
