Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix N2 against official datasheets to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics match your design requirements. Confirm availability status as this series may be subject to lifecycle changes. Ensure ESD handling protocols are followed during installation due to moisture sensitivity classification. Cross-reference the 1932-ball BGA footprint with your PCB layout guidelines prior to procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when designs require approximately 490k LEs and 48 high-speed serial lanes. Compare total embedded memory needs against the 37 Mbit limit to ensure sufficient on-chip resources. Evaluate power consumption profiles at the 850 mV operating voltage against system thermal constraints. Consider the 0°C to 70°C temperature range suitability for the intended deployment environment.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets high-speed serial communication applications. It shares architectural similarities with other 5SGX variants but offers specific resource scaling. The device utilizes Intel's 28nm process technology, providing a balance of performance and power efficiency for mid-to-high-end FPGA implementations.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other Stratix V GX devices with similar I/O counts and transceiver numbers, such as the 5SGXEA5N1F45C2L or 5SGXMABN2F45C2LN. Verify pin compatibility and resource equivalence before substitution. Newer Agilex families may offer functional equivalents but require significant design re-verification.
