Procurement Notes

This specific part number is listed as obsolete or end-of-life by major distributors. Verification of current availability requires direct consultation with authorized supply chain partners or secondary market vendors. Buyers must confirm the manufacturing date code and physical condition upon receipt. Ensure that any replacement components maintain compatibility with existing board layouts and design specifications.

Selection Notes

Engineers selecting this component should verify that the 600 I/O count and 48 transceiver configuration meet system interface requirements. The 1517 FBGA package dimensions must align with the printed circuit board footprint. Designers should account for the 900 mV core voltage power delivery network constraints. Thermal management solutions must support the specified industrial operating temperature range during peak load conditions.

Part Context

The 5SGXEA7N2F40I3N belongs to the Stratix V GX series, which targets high-speed serial communication applications. This series distinguishes itself through dense integration of high-speed transceivers alongside substantial logic resources. It serves as a successor to previous generations, offering improved performance per watt for data center and telecom sectors requiring scalable FPGA architectures.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Due to the obsolete status, engineers should evaluate newer Altera families such as Agilex or Stratix 10 for functional equivalence. Cross-referencing pinouts and electrical characteristics with alternative devices is essential before implementation.
