Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official manufacturer documentation to ensure correct environmental rating and packaging configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current datasheets as regulatory requirements may evolve. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to validate authenticity and traceability before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when requiring a balance of moderate logic density and high-speed serial connectivity within the Stratix V family. Compare total embedded memory requirements against alternative devices if larger buffers are needed. Ensure the 1152-ball FBGA package footprint aligns with existing PCB layout constraints and thermal management strategies.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX series, which targets gigabit communications and industrial markets. It sits below higher-density variants like the 5SGXEA9K in terms of logic resources but maintains the same core transceiver technology. The 'GX' designation indicates optimization for general-purpose high-speed serial applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes within the same package are limited due to specific pinout and density configurations. Consider the 5SGXEA4K1F40I2G for similar logic density but verify package compatibility. Higher density options such as the 5SGXEA7K3F40I4 offer more resources but require design re-evaluation.
