Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels as this part may be subject to lifecycle restrictions. Confirm that the specific suffix corresponds to the required thermal and electrical specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and power delivery networks before procurement. Check for updated design rule checks within the Quartus Prime software environment.

Selection Notes

Select this model when designs require a balance of moderate logic density and high-speed serial interface count. Compare against the 5SGXEA series variants to determine if fewer transceivers or different memory configurations suffice. Evaluate power consumption profiles relative to the 900 mV core voltage requirement. Consider pinout compatibility if migrating from previous generation Stratix devices.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets high-performance serial communication applications. It shares the 1517-ball FCBGA package form factor with other devices in the 5SGXA5 and 5SGXA3 families. The numbering convention indicates its position within the broader Stratix V product portfolio focused on gigabit transceiver integration.
