Procurement Notes

This component is designated as obsolete or end-of-life by the manufacturer. Verification of availability requires checking secondary market distributors for surplus stock. Buyers must confirm authenticity through authorized channels due to the risk of counterfeit devices in the aftermarket. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if required by specific project standards before procurement.

Selection Notes

Engineers selecting this part should verify compatibility with legacy Stratix V design flows using Quartus Prime software. Consider the power consumption profile associated with the 900 mV core voltage and thermal management requirements for the FBGA-1152 package. Evaluate if the 14.1 Gb/s transceiver speed meets interface requirements or if newer generations offer better performance-per-watt ratios.

Part Context

The 5SGXEA4K2F35I3LN belongs to the Stratix V GX family, designed for high-bandwidth applications requiring significant logic density and serial connectivity. This specific variant offers a mid-range configuration within the 5SGXA4 sub-series, balancing logic resources with I/O count. It serves as a successor to Stratix IV GX devices, providing enhanced efficiency and higher transceiver speeds.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements are not available due to architectural differences. Potential upgrades include other Stratix V variants with similar I/O counts or Intel Agilex series FPGAs for improved performance. Design migration requires schematic and layout adjustments to accommodate new pinouts and power domains.
