Procurement Notes

This component is officially listed as obsolete or end-of-life by the manufacturer. Verification of availability requires checking authorized distributors for remaining stock or qualified second-source alternatives. Ensure that any sourced units are genuine and have not exceeded moisture sensitivity level limits prior to reflow soldering.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a Stratix V GX device with exactly 36 transceivers and 432 I/Os is required. Compare against the 5SGXEA4H series if different pin counts or transceiver configurations are needed. Verify that the 14.1 Gb/s transceiver speed meets system interface requirements and that the FBGA-1152 footprint fits the PCB design constraints.

Part Context

The 5SGXEA4K2F35C3N belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which utilizes 28-nm technology. This series is distinguished by its integrated hard transceivers optimized for serial communications protocols. It sits within the broader Intel FPGA portfolio, offering a balance of logic density and high-speed serial connectivity for mid-to-high-end applications.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not provided in the source documentation. As the device is marked as obsolete, engineering teams should consult official obsolescence notices or contact the manufacturer for recommended migration paths to newer FPGA families.
