Procurement Notes

This specific part number is listed as obsolete or end-of-life by the manufacturer. Verification of availability requires checking authorized distributors for remaining stock or alternative sourcing channels. Buyers must confirm the authenticity and condition of any available units due to the discontinued status. Compliance with RoHS standards should be verified against the specific manufacturing batch documentation provided by the supplier.

Selection Notes

Engineers selecting this component should consider its position within the Stratix V GX family, which emphasizes high-speed serial connectivity. The 1517-pin package size and pinout compatibility with other devices in the same footprint are critical for PCB design reuse. Designers must account for the specific power supply requirements and thermal management needs associated with the 850 mV core voltage and high I/O count.

Part Context

The 5SGXEA7K2F40I2N belongs to the Stratix V GX series, which is optimized for applications requiring extensive serial communication capabilities. This series sits alongside the Stratix V GS and GT families, differentiated primarily by their transceiver configurations and target market segments. The 'GX' designation indicates a focus on high-speed serial interfaces, making it distinct from general-purpose FPGA offerings.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements may include other variants within the Stratix V GX family, such as the 5SGXEA7K2F40I2L, which shares similar logic resources but differs in package type. Engineers should evaluate pin-to-pin compatibility and electrical characteristics when considering substitutes from the same generation or newer architectures from Intel/Altera.
