Procurement Notes

This component is classified as obsolete and is no longer manufactured by Intel/Altera. Procurement must focus on verifying the authenticity of existing stock or surplus inventory from authorized distributors. Ensure that any sourced units are tested for functionality and moisture sensitivity level compliance before integration into production lines. Cross-reference part numbers carefully to avoid counterfeit components.

Selection Notes

Engineers should evaluate the 5SGXEABK3H40C2N primarily for legacy system maintenance or specific high-speed requirements where its 14.1 Gb/s transceiver capabilities are critical. Due to its obsolete status, new designs should consider modern equivalents with improved power efficiency and support availability. Verify that the 1517-HBGA footprint and pinout compatibility match the target PCB design constraints.

Part Context

The 5SGXEABK3H40C2N belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets high-speed serial communication and DSP-intensive applications. This series distinguishes itself through dedicated hard processor system options and extensive transceiver resources. Compared to standard Stratix V devices, the GX variant offers optimized performance for serial link speeds, making it suitable for backplane and point-to-point interconnects.

Replacement Considerations

The 5SGXEABK3H40C2G is listed as a direct substitute option. Users should verify pinout compatibility and electrical specifications between the N and G suffix variants before replacement. Other Stratix V models may offer functional equivalence but require careful review of I/O counts and memory sizes.
