Procurement Notes

Verify the exact operating temperature range and voltage specifications against the official datasheet before procurement, as variants exist within the same family. Confirm package dimensions and pinout compatibility with your PCB layout. Ensure that the specific suffix matches your thermal and environmental requirements. Cross-reference the part number with the manufacturer's current obsolescence notices to avoid sourcing discontinued inventory.

Selection Notes

Select this model when the design requires a balance of moderate logic density and high-speed serial connectivity. Compare the 24-transceiver configuration against alternative Stratix V models if higher bandwidth is needed. Evaluate the 552 I/O count against interface requirements to ensure sufficient connectivity without excessive pin usage. Consider the power consumption profile relative to the 850 mV core voltage operation.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX series, designed for high-performance general-purpose applications. It sits alongside other variants like the 5SGXEA5K3F35I3L and 5SGXEA5H2F35I3G, differing primarily in I/O counts and transceiver configurations. The series represents a generation of FPGAs focused on balancing logic capacity with efficient power usage for demanding digital tasks.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the 5SGXEA5H2F35I3G and 5SGXEA5K3F35I3L. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and electrical parameter alignment before substitution. Check for any functional differences in transceiver counts or I/O availability between these variants.
