Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C2N' against official datasheets to confirm temperature grade and package variant. Confirm end-of-life status with the manufacturer or authorized distributors before procurement planning. Ensure supply chain sources provide valid traceability documentation for this discontinued component series.

Selection Notes

Compare the 622,000 LE capacity and 48 transceiver count against project requirements. Evaluate the 14.1 Gb/s transceiver speed for interface compatibility. Consider the 1517-pin FBGA footprint for PCB layout constraints. Verify power supply requirements matching the 900 mV core voltage specification.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix V GX family, optimized for gigabit networking and DSP applications. It shares architectural similarities with other 5SGX variants but differs in logic density and I/O configuration. The 'GX' designation indicates the inclusion of high-speed transceivers essential for serial communication interfaces.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available for this discontinued model. Engineering change notices should be consulted for potential obsolescence management strategies.
