Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'LN' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm environmental rating or packaging variations. Confirm current availability status as this series may be subject to discontinuation notices. Ensure compatibility with required design tools and licensing agreements before procurement.

Selection Notes

Compare the 48-transceiver configuration and 37 Mbit memory against application bandwidth needs. Evaluate the 1517-pin FBGA footprint for PCB layout constraints. Consider thermal management requirements given the power consumption associated with high-speed transceiver operation at maximum data rates.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets demanding gigabit communication and DSP-intensive tasks. It shares architectural similarities with other 5SGX variants but differs in I/O count and transceiver allocation. The part represents a mid-range density option within the broader Stratix portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the 5SGXEA5N1F40C2N and 5SGXEA5N2F40C3G. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and electrical parameter alignment, particularly regarding core voltage and I/O standards, when considering these alternatives.
