Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix configuration against official datasheets to ensure compatibility with specific voltage and temperature grades. Confirm end-of-life status or obsolescence notices prior to procurement planning. Check for moisture sensitivity level requirements during storage and handling procedures.

Selection Notes

Compare the 48-transceiver count and 14.1 Gb/s speed against application bandwidth requirements. Evaluate the 1932-ball package size for PCB layout constraints. Ensure the 0.85V core voltage supply design meets the power delivery specifications for the target operating conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which emphasizes high-speed serial connectivity. It shares the same logical structure as other variants in the 5SGXEA5N series but differs in package pinout and thermal characteristics. The 'GX' designation indicates optimized transceiver performance for communication interfaces.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Stratix V GX devices with similar transceiver counts. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility if replacing on existing boards. Consider migration paths to newer families like Agilex if long-term availability is required.
