Procurement Notes

This specific part number is listed as obsolete or end-of-life by major distributors. Verification of current availability requires direct inquiry with authorized suppliers or checking secondary markets. Ensure strict adherence to moisture sensitivity level handling procedures upon receipt, as indicated by the component specifications.

Selection Notes

Engineers should evaluate the 5SGXEA4K3F40I3N against newer Agilex families for improved performance-per-watt metrics. Consider legacy support requirements when selecting this Stratix V device. Verify that the 1517 FBGA footprint matches existing board layouts if replacing older components.

Part Context

As part of the Stratix V GX family, this FPGA targets high-speed serial communication applications. It sits between lower-density Arria V devices and higher-end Stratix V GT models. The 'GX' designation specifically highlights its optimized transceiver capabilities for general-purpose serial links.

Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed for this obsolete model. Review Intel's migration guides for transitioning from Stratix V to Agilex 5 or Agilex 7 families for functional equivalence.
