Procurement Notes

This component is identified as obsolete or end-of-life by the manufacturer. Availability is restricted to existing stock or secondary market sources. Verification of part authenticity and physical condition is critical due to the discontinued status. Buyers should confirm moisture sensitivity levels and shelf life before integration into production schedules.

Selection Notes

Engineers selecting this FPGA should evaluate the trade-off between the 420,000 LE density and the specific I/O requirements of the target design. The 1517 FBGA package necessitates careful PCB layout considerations for signal integrity. Designers must ensure their thermal management solutions accommodate the power dissipation characteristics of the Stratix V GX family under maximum load conditions.

Part Context

The 5SGXEA4K1F40C2L belongs to the Stratix V GX series, which targets high-speed serial communication applications. This specific variant offers a mid-range logic density within the 5SGXEA4 sub-family, balancing resource availability with pin count constraints provided by the 1517-ball package format.

Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed for this specific model. Engineers may consider migrating to newer Intel Agilex or Stratix 10 families for long-term supply stability, though pin compatibility and feature sets will differ significantly.
