Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C2G' against official Altera documentation to confirm temperature grade and package variant. Ensure compatibility with Quartus Prime software versions supporting the Stratix V family. Check for RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements during storage and assembly. Confirm availability through authorized distributors as lead times may vary significantly for this component.

Selection Notes

Compare the 5SGXEA4K1F40C2G with other Stratix V variants based on required logic density and transceiver count. Evaluate power consumption profiles against available cooling solutions. Consider the 1517-ball package dimensions for PCB layout constraints. Verify that the selected I/O banks meet the voltage requirements of connected peripherals.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, designed for high-performance gigabit communications. It shares architectural similarities with other Stratix V devices but offers specific resource configurations tailored for cost-sensitive high-speed applications. The '5SGXEA4' prefix indicates its position within the broader Stratix portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the 5SGXEA4K1F40C2LG and 5SGXEA4K1F40I2G, which share identical core specifications but differ in temperature ratings or packaging details. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and electrical characteristics before substitution.
