• Digital signal processing systems requiring multi-gigabit interfaces
• Industrial automation controllers with real-time processing needs
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'LG' against official Altera documentation to confirm package type and moisture sensitivity level details. Ensure compatibility with Quartus Prime software versions supporting the Stratix V family. Confirm that the 1517-ball FCBGA footprint matches your PCB design constraints. Check for any end-of-life notices or lifecycle status updates from the manufacturer before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designs require a balance of moderate logic density and high-speed serial connectivity. The Stratix V GX series is suitable for applications needing multiple gigabit transceivers without the highest tier of logic resources. Compare total memory requirements against the 19 Mbit embedded limit. Evaluate thermal management capabilities given the 100°C junction temperature rating and power consumption characteristics typical of this FPGA class.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which focuses on high-speed serial communications. It sits below larger variants like the 5SGXEA3K3 in terms of logic density but shares similar transceiver and I/O architectures. The family is characterized by its use of Adaptive Logic Modules and integrated hard processor system options in some variants, though this specific model emphasizes pure logic and transceiver performance.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same package and pinout include other Stratix V GX devices such as the 5SGXEA3K1F40I3N or 5SGXEA3K3F40I3G, provided logic resource differences are acceptable. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and electrical specifications carefully. Consider newer Agilex families for long-term supply assurance if redesign is feasible.
