Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels as this part may be subject to obsolescence or limited availability. Confirm specific suffix designations against official datasheets to ensure correct voltage and temperature ratings. Request full traceability documentation including manufacturing origin and lot codes. Validate RoHS compliance status prior to integration into regulated assemblies.

Selection Notes

Compare logic density and transceiver counts against alternative Stratix V variants to match specific application requirements. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the 0°C to +70°C operating range. Ensure PCB layout supports the 1517-ball FBGA footprint and associated power delivery specifications for the 850 mV core voltage.

Part Context

This model belongs to the Stratix V GX family, designed for high-speed serial communications. It shares architectural similarities with other 5SGXA3 devices but offers specific I/O and memory configurations. The GX series emphasizes transceiver performance alongside general-purpose programmable logic capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Stratix V GX devices within the same logic density class, such as the 5SGXEA3K1F40C2LN or 5SGXEA3K2F40C3N, provided pin compatibility and electrical specifications align with the original design constraints.
