Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C1G' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and thermal specifications. Ensure that the ordering information matches the exact part number required for your design, as minor variations in suffixes can indicate differences in packaging or environmental ratings. Cross-reference with authorized distributors to confirm current availability status.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designs require a balance of moderate logic density and significant serial connectivity. The Stratix V GX family is suitable for applications needing multiple high-speed lanes without the extreme capacity of larger devices. Evaluate the 1932-ball package constraints during PCB layout to ensure adequate routing space for the dense I/O configuration.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix V GX series, which targets cost-sensitive high-performance markets compared to the Stratix V GT. It shares architectural similarities with other 5SGXEA5 variants but differs in package type and specific I/O count. The 'GX' designation indicates the inclusion of general-purpose high-speed transceivers optimized for standard communication protocols.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include the 5SGXEA5N1F45C2G, which offers similar logic resources but may differ in package dimensions or thermal characteristics. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility before substitution. Other Stratix V devices with comparable ALM counts should be evaluated for transceiver speed and memory size alignment.
