• High-density programmable logic architecture with extensive embedded memory resources for complex digital signal processing applications.
• Integrated high-speed serial transceivers supporting multi-gigabit data transmission rates for advanced communication interfaces.
• Industrial-grade thermal performance ensuring reliable operation across wide ambient temperature variations.

Applications

• High-performance telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Enterprise networking switches and routers
• Industrial automation control systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I3N' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm the exact operating temperature range and commercial/industrial grade classification. Cross-reference the part number with current lifecycle status notices, as availability may be limited due to end-of-life transitions or supply chain constraints.

Selection Notes

Compare the 185,000 ALM capacity and 36-transceiver configuration against system requirements to ensure sufficient resource headroom. Evaluate the 14.1 Gb/s transceiver speed against interface standards. Confirm that the 1517-ball FBGA footprint matches the PCB layout design and thermal management strategy.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, designed for high-performance gigabit communications. It shares architectural similarities with other 5SGX variants but differs in logic density and memory allocation. The 'GX' designation specifically highlights its optimized transceiver capabilities for serial data links.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided source material. Consult official migration guides for potential upgrades to Agilex or Stratix 10 families if this component reaches end-of-life.
