Procurement Notes

This component is designated as obsolete or end-of-life by the manufacturer. Verification of availability requires checking authorized distributors for remaining stock or surplus market sources. Buyers must confirm authenticity through official channels due to the discontinued status. Lead times are not applicable as production has ceased. Ensure compatibility with existing design files before procurement.

Selection Notes

Engineers selecting this part should consider its position within the Stratix V GX family, which emphasizes high-speed serial connectivity. Compare against newer Agilex families for improved power efficiency and density if current designs allow migration. Verify that the 1932-pin FBGA footprint matches the PCB layout constraints. Assess whether the 14.1 Gb/s transceiver speed meets future bandwidth requirements or if lower-tier models suffice.

Part Context

The 5SGXEA9N1F45C2L belongs to the Stratix V GX series, targeting applications requiring significant I/O bandwidth and computational throughput. It sits between lower-density variants like the 5SGXEA5 and higher-density options such as the 5SGXEA9N3. This specific suffix indicates a commercial temperature grade and a particular pinout configuration within the broader Stratix V ecosystem.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements are generally unavailable due to architectural shifts. Consider migrating to Intel Agilex 7 or Agilex 9 SoC FPGAs for enhanced performance and longevity. Review Intel's lifecycle support documentation for transition guides from Stratix V to next-generation platforms.
