• Integrated high-speed serial transceivers supporting multi-gigabit data transmission rates.
• Substantial on-chip memory capacity for buffering and data storage requirements.
• Support for extensive input/output configurations via a large pin-count package.

Applications

• High-speed telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Digital signal processing systems requiring parallel computation
• Network switching and routing hardware
• Industrial automation control systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'WN' against official manufacturer documentation, as standard listings often utilize 'C1N' or 'C1G'. Confirm end-of-life status and moisture sensitivity level handling procedures prior to procurement. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and thermal management solutions for the 1517 FBGA package.

Selection Notes

Select this model when high logic density and significant embedded memory are required alongside moderate-speed serial connectivity. Compare against the 5SGXMA series if lower cost is prioritized over performance. Verify that the 14.1 Gb/s transceiver speed meets interface requirements, as higher speeds may necessitate newer generation devices.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets gigabit networking and DSP applications. It succeeds earlier Stratix generations by offering improved logic density and integrated hard processor system options in other variants. The GX designation specifically highlights its focus on high-speed serial communication capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the 5SGXEA7K1F40C1N and 5SGXEA7K1F40C1G. Verify pinout and electrical parameter compatibility before swapping. Newer Agilex families offer performance upgrades but require design re-verification due to architectural differences.
