Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix against official manufacturer documentation to ensure correct package variant and temperature rating. Confirm current lifecycle status as distribution channels may list obsolete or end-of-life inventory. Cross-reference the specific part number with authorized distributors to validate authenticity and avoid counterfeit components. Check for any recent product change notices that might affect pinout or electrical characteristics.

Selection Notes

Compare this model against other Stratix V variants based on required transceiver count and I/O density. Ensure the 1932-pin FBGA footprint matches the target PCB design constraints. Verify thermal management requirements given the power consumption associated with 48 active transceivers. Evaluate if the 14.1 Gb/s speed grade meets the specific interface standards of the application.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Altera Stratix V GX family, which targets high-performance serial communication applications. The 'GX' designation indicates the inclusion of high-speed transceivers optimized for serial protocols. The 5SGXEA7N3F40C2LN represents a specific configuration within this series, balancing logic capacity with extensive serial connectivity options for demanding industrial and telecom environments.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements are limited due to the discontinued status of many Stratix V parts. Consider migrating to Intel Agilex families for new designs. If a direct pin-compatible substitute is unavailable, evaluate FPGA families from other manufacturers with similar transceiver counts and logic densities.
