Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C3N' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm operating temperature grade and moisture sensitivity level. Cross-reference the part number with current lifecycle status notices, as availability may be restricted or subject to discontinuation. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and thermal management solutions before procurement.

Selection Notes

Compare the 5SGXEB6R2F40C3N against other Stratix V variants based on required transceiver count and logic density. Evaluate power consumption profiles under typical load conditions to ensure adequate cooling. Confirm that the 1517 FBGA package dimensions align with board space constraints and assembly capabilities.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets high-end communication and computing markets. It shares architectural similarities with other Stratix V devices but distinguishes itself through its specific balance of logic resources and high-speed serial connectivity. The 'GX' designation indicates optimized performance for general-purpose high-speed serial applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements are limited due to the specific pinout and feature set. Consider the 5SGXEB6R3F40C2G or 5SGXEB6R3F40C4G if functional equivalence allows for minor parameter adjustments. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and software configuration portability when evaluating alternative part numbers.
