Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to potential supply chain variations. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level prior to assembly. Check for specific ordering suffixes that may indicate packaging or environmental ratings. Ensure compatibility with existing design tools and verify end-of-life status if long-term production is required.

Selection Notes

Select this model when high logic density and significant embedded memory are required alongside high-speed serial connectivity. Compare against other Stratix V variants based on specific I/O count and transceiver requirements. Evaluate thermal management needs given the power consumption associated with the 900 mV core voltage and active transceiver usage.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Altera Stratix V GX series, designed for high-performance computing and communications. The '5SGX' prefix identifies the GX family with integrated high-speed transceivers. The 'EA7' designation specifies the particular logic density tier within the product line, distinguishing it from lower or higher capacity devices in the same package.
