Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C3N' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm exact electrical characteristics and availability status. As this part number may be discontinued or subject to specific lifecycle notices, consult the manufacturer's Product Change Notification (PCN) database for current supply chain information before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this model when design requirements demand high logic density combined with significant serial connectivity options. Ensure the system power budget accommodates the specified core voltage and that the PCB layout supports the 1517-ball BGA footprint. Compare against the Stratix V E series if lower cost is prioritized over the GX transceiver performance capabilities.

Part Context

This component is part of the Stratix V GX family, which targets high-end applications requiring substantial bandwidth and processing power. It succeeds earlier generations like Stratix IV GX, offering improved efficiency and higher logic densities. The 5SGXEABK2H40 designation indicates a specific die size and package configuration within the broader Stratix portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements are limited due to the specific pinout and feature set. Consider the 5SGXEA9K3H40I4G for similar form factors but verify logic density differences. For modern equivalents, evaluate Agilex 5 or Agilex 7 families, though these require significant architectural redesign and do not offer pin-compatible substitutions.
