Procurement Notes

This specific part number is listed as obsolete or end-of-life by major distributors such as Mouser. Verification of availability requires checking authorized channels for remaining stock or alternative sourcing strategies. Ensure that any sourced units are genuine and match the exact suffix specifications, as packaging and labeling may vary across legacy inventory sources.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring the specific I/O count and transceiver configuration of the 5SGXA4 family variant. Verify compatibility with Quartus Prime software versions supporting Stratix V devices. Consider thermal management requirements due to the high logic density and ensure the PCB layout supports the 1152-ball FBGA footprint constraints.

Part Context

The 5SGXEA4K1F35C2N is part of the Stratix V GX series, which targets high-performance serial applications. It shares the same logical structure and ALM count as other 5SGXA4 devices but differs in I/O count and transceiver quantity. This specific model sits between lower-density variants like the 5SGXEA4H series and higher-capacity Stratix V SX/GT families in terms of serial interface resources.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements are not available within the same density class. Engineers should evaluate the 5SGXEA4H series (e.g., 5SGXEA4H3F35C2LG) if the application can accommodate the difference in I/O count (552 vs 432) and transceiver count (36 vs 24/36 depending on sub-variant), though electrical parameters remain similar.
