Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to potential availability constraints. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling procedures are strictly followed during storage and assembly. Ensure compatibility with existing board design parameters before procurement. Review latest product change notifications for any manufacturing updates that may affect long-term supply stability or pinout configurations.

Selection Notes

Evaluate total logic element requirements against the 340,000 LE limit to ensure adequate capacity. Assess transceiver count needs as this model provides 36 channels at 14.1 Gb/s. Consider thermal management solutions given the power consumption associated with high-speed I/O and transceiver operation. Verify that the 1152-pin FBGA footprint matches the target PCB layout constraints and assembly capabilities.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix V GX family, designed for high-performance applications requiring significant parallel processing and high-speed serial communication. The 'GX' designation indicates the inclusion of high-speed transceivers. It sits within the broader Altera portfolio, offering a balance between logic density and connectivity for demanding industrial and communications markets.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include variants like 5SGXMA3K1F35C2LN or 5SGXMA3H1F35C2LG, which share similar logic resources but may differ in speed grades or specific feature sets. Cross-family migration to Agilex or Stratix 10 requires significant redesign due to architectural differences.
