• Integrated high-speed serial transceivers supporting multi-gigabit data rates
• Support for complex system integration through numerous general-purpose I/O channels

Applications

• High-speed telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Enterprise networking switches and routers
• Industrial automation control systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'N' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm exact revision or environmental rating, as suffixes often denote specific testing or packaging variations. Confirm availability status directly with authorized distributors, as lead times may vary significantly for this component family. Ensure compatibility with existing board designs regarding the 1932-pin BGA footprint and thermal requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this model when requiring a balance of high logic density and moderate transceiver count within the Stratix V GX family. Compare against the 5SGXEBBR3H43C3N if higher transceiver counts are needed, or against lower-density variants if cost reduction is prioritized over performance. Verify that the 840 I/O limit meets interface requirements and that the 14.1 Gb/s transceiver speed aligns with protocol standards.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Altera Stratix V GX series, which targets wireline communication and high-performance computing markets. The 'GX' designation indicates the inclusion of high-speed transceivers suitable for serial data transmission. It sits within the broader FPGA landscape as a solution for prototyping and low-to-medium volume production of complex digital systems requiring reconfigurability.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same package and pinout are limited due to the end-of-life status of many Stratix V parts. Consider the 5SGXEA7N3F45C2LN for similar logic density but different I/O/transceiver configurations. Cross-family migration to Agilex or Stratix 10 may be necessary for long-term supply assurance, requiring significant design resourcing.
