Procurement Notes

This component is officially listed as obsolete and no longer manufactured by Intel/Altera. Procurement must rely on secondary market distributors or surplus stock. Verify authenticity carefully due to the high risk of counterfeits for legacy high-end FPGAs. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level handling requirements before soldering.

Selection Notes

Select this part only if existing designs require the specific Stratix V GX architecture and pinout. Evaluate migration paths to current Intel Agilex or Arria families for new projects. Consider that obsolescence limits long-term supply chain stability. Ensure design tools support the legacy Quartus Prime version required for this device.

Part Context

Part of the Stratix V GX family, designed for high-speed serial applications. The 'N' suffix typically denotes specific packaging or environmental variants within the series. It represents a high-density solution from the 28nm node era, offering a balance of logic density and I/O count for demanding signal processing tasks.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitute: 5SGXEA7N3F40C3G. Note that suffix changes may indicate differences in packaging labels or minor manufacturing updates rather than functional equivalence. Always verify electrical specifications against the original datasheet before swapping.
