Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels as this part may be subject to obsolescence or limited availability. Confirm the specific suffix codes match design requirements since they define package and temperature grades. Request original manufacturer documentation to ensure compliance with current RoHS standards and moisture sensitivity levels before integration into production lines.

Selection Notes

Compare against other Stratix V GX variants based on required transceiver count and I/O density. Ensure the 1517-ball FBGA footprint fits the target PCB layout constraints. Validate that the 14.1 Gb/s transceiver speed meets interface specifications. Consider thermal management solutions given the high logic density and power consumption associated with this FPGA family.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Altera Stratix V GX series, which targets demanding applications requiring high bandwidth and low latency. The 5SGXEA5N1F40C2N represents a specific configuration within this family, balancing logic capacity with significant serial connectivity options for system architects designing next-generation communication platforms.

Replacement Considerations
