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 surplus market sources. Ensure that any sourced units are genuine and have not exceeded moisture sensitivity limits. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation before integration into production lines.

Selection Notes

Engineers should evaluate the 5SGXEA7K3F40C2N against current generation Intel Agilex or Cyclone families for new designs due to its discontinued status. Consider pin compatibility and thermal requirements when replacing existing implementations. Verify that the required logic density and transceiver count meet project specifications without excessive over-provisioning.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Altera Stratix V GX family, which targets high-speed serial communication applications. The 'EA7' designation indicates a specific logic density tier within the series. The suffix 'C2N' denotes the commercial temperature grade and lead-free packaging variant. This family was widely used in carrier-grade networking solutions prior to newer architectural releases.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements may be limited due to the obsolescence of the Stratix V platform. Review Intel's migration guides for equivalent performance in Agilex or Arria 10 families. Functional equivalence must be verified through Quartus Prime software compatibility and timing analysis rather than simple part substitution.
