Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to potential availability constraints. Confirm the specific suffix codes match design requirements as they define performance grades and packaging. Check current lifecycle status as older Stratix V models may face discontinuation risks. Ensure supply chain partners provide valid traceability documentation for critical deployments.

Selection Notes

Select this model when requiring a balance of moderate logic density and high-speed serial connectivity. Compare against the Stratix V GS series if lower power consumption is prioritized over maximum I/O count. Verify that the 1152-ball FBGA footprint fits the target PCB layout constraints. Ensure the design tool suite supports the specific device family for compilation and implementation.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Intel (formerly Altera) Stratix V GX family, which targets high-speed serial communication markets. It shares the same physical package dimensions as other devices in the 5SGXEA5K series but offers distinct logic and memory configurations. The GX designation specifically highlights its optimized transceiver capabilities compared to the GS or MX variants.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the same package are limited. Consider the 5SGXEA5K3F35C3G for similar specifications with potentially different speed grades. Evaluate the 5SGXMA5K2F35C3N if enhanced analog performance is required, though pinouts may differ. Always verify electrical compatibility before substituting.
