Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I3G' against official Altera documentation to confirm industrial temperature range and RoHS compliance status. Ensure compatibility with Quartus Prime software versions supporting the Stratix V family. Confirm package availability and lead times through authorized distributors as standard delivery periods may vary based on manufacturing schedules.

Selection Notes

Select this model when requiring a balance of high logic density and high-speed serial connectivity within an industrial temperature range. Compare total embedded memory requirements against the 37 Mbit capacity. Evaluate the 36 transceiver count against interface needs. Consider power consumption profiles relative to the 0.82V-0.88V core voltage specifications during peak utilization.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX series, optimized for general-purpose high-performance applications requiring significant parallel processing and high-speed serial interfaces. It shares the 1517-ball FCBGA footprint with other variants in the 5SGXEA4K family, facilitating potential board-level design consistency across different logic densities within the same package constraint.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 5SGXEA4K variants such as 5SGXEA4K1F40C3G or 5SGXEA4K1F40I2G, provided temperature ranges and suffixes match application requirements. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and resource equivalence before substitution.
