• Integrated high-speed serial transceivers supporting multi-gigabit data transmission rates.
• Large embedded memory capacity suitable for complex buffering and storage requirements.
• Extensive I/O interface options accommodating diverse system connectivity needs.

Applications

• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Enterprise networking switches and routers
• Industrial automation control systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number suffix, as 'C3' typically denotes commercial temperature range and specific packaging. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) prior to assembly. Check for any recent Product Change Notifications regarding label or component updates. Ensure compatibility with standard surface mount reflow profiles.

Selection Notes

Select this model when high logic density and significant embedded memory are required alongside moderate I/O counts. Compare against the 5SGXEA7K2F40I3G if industrial temperature ratings (-40°C to 100°C) are necessary instead of commercial grades. Evaluate the 5SGXEA3K2F40C3N for lower cost options with reduced logic resources.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets high-performance computing and communications markets. It shares the same 1517-FBGA footprint and 696 I/O count with other variants in the series, differing primarily in logic density and temperature rating. It serves as a mid-to-high tier solution within the Stratix V portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

The 5SGXEA7K2F40I3G is a verified pin-compatible alternative offering an extended industrial temperature range (-40°C to 100°C) while maintaining identical logic resources and package dimensions. Other family members like the 5SGXEA3K2F40C3N share the package but have significantly lower logic capacities.
