Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official datasheets to confirm temperature grade and package variant. Confirm end-of-life status or obsolescence notices prior to procurement planning. Ensure supply chain sources provide authentic components with traceability documentation. Check for moisture sensitivity level requirements during storage and handling procedures.

Selection Notes

Compare logic element counts and transceiver speeds against alternative Stratix V variants to match design complexity. Evaluate power consumption profiles relative to available thermal management solutions. Assess pin compatibility with existing board layouts when considering pin-to-pin replacements. Verify software toolchain support within Quartus Prime for the specific device family.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Altera Stratix V GX series, which targets high-speed serial communication applications. It shares the same 1517-ball FCBGA footprint as other devices in the 5SGXEA4K family, facilitating potential design reuse across different capacity options within the same package constraint.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible substitutes within the Stratix V GX family include 5SGXEA4K1F40C2LN and 5SGXEA4K2F40I2LN. Verify that the electrical characteristics and memory sizes of these alternatives meet the original design specifications before implementation.
