Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to potential availability constraints. Confirm specific suffix designations match exact performance grades and packaging requirements. Check for moisture sensitivity level compliance prior to assembly. Ensure supply chain documentation aligns with current manufacturing status updates.

Selection Notes

Compare against other Stratix V variants based on required transceiver count and logic density. Evaluate thermal management solutions given the power consumption characteristics of the 900 mV core voltage. Assess PCB layout constraints imposed by the 1517-pin FBGA footprint. Consider software toolchain compatibility with Quartus Prime versions.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Altera Stratix V GX family, targeting gigabit networking and DSP-intensive tasks. It sits alongside related models like the 5SGXEA7K3F40C2N and 5SGXEA7N1F40C1G, differing primarily in package type, speed grade, or specific feature enablement within the same logical architecture.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements may include the 5SGXEA7K3F40C2N or 5SGXEA7N1F40C1G depending on package and speed grade alignment. Verify functional equivalence regarding transceiver specifications and memory configuration before substitution.
