Procurement Notes

Verify authenticity through authorized channels as this part may be discontinued or obsolete. Check for moisture sensitivity level compliance before reflow soldering. Confirm package integrity and pin alignment against the official datasheet specifications to ensure proper installation and functionality in final assemblies.

Selection Notes

Compare total logic element count and transceiver bandwidth against project requirements. Ensure the 1517 FBGA footprint matches the PCB layout constraints. Verify that the 850 mV core voltage aligns with the available power delivery network design. Consider thermal management solutions suitable for the specific operating temperature range.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets high-speed serial applications. It shares the same 1517 FBGA package form factor with other variants in the series but differs in logic density and transceiver configuration. It serves as a successor to earlier generations while offering enhanced performance metrics for complex digital designs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include 5SGXEA7K3F40I3G for industrial temperature ratings. Other compatible options within the same package are 5SGXEA7N2F40C1 and 5SGXEA7K2F40I3G, though logic and I/O counts vary.
