Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix configuration against official datasheets before procurement, as alphanumeric codes define specific environmental ratings and packaging variants. Confirm availability status through authorized channels, noting that this specific part number may be subject to end-of-life or discontinuation notices. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and moisture sensitivity level requirements during handling and storage procedures.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of moderate logic density and high-speed serial connectivity is required within the Stratix V family. Compare total memory bandwidth and transceiver counts against alternative SKUs like the 5SGXEA5K3F40I4G if industrial temperature ranges are necessary. Evaluate pin count compatibility with existing PCB footprints, as the 1517 FBGA package dictates specific layout constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX series, which targets gigabit networking and DSP-intensive tasks. It sits between lower-density models and higher-end Stratix V devices, offering a specific combination of 36 transceivers and nearly half a million logic elements. The 'GX' designation indicates optimized general-purpose transceiver capabilities compared to other series variants.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed direct substitute part numbers for this specific SKU are not available in the provided documentation. Consider evaluating the 5SGXEA5K3F40I4G for similar logical resources but with extended temperature specifications, or consult manufacturer obsolescence notices for recommended migration paths.
