Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels as this part number may be subject to obsolescence notices. Confirm that the specific suffix matches the required operating temperature and package specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and verify that the design supports the necessary power delivery requirements for the 900 mV core voltage operation.

Selection Notes

Select this model when the design requires approximately 340,000 logic elements and significant embedded memory capacity. Consider the 1517-ball FBGA package constraints during layout planning. Evaluate if the 36 available transceeters meet the system's serial communication bandwidth needs. Compare against higher-capacity variants like the 5SGXMA4K series if additional logic resources are anticipated.

Part Context

This FPGA belongs to the Stratix V GX family, designed for high-performance computing and communications. It shares architectural similarities with other devices in the 5SGXMA series but offers a specific balance of logic density and I/O count. The device utilizes Altera's proven fabrication technology to deliver reliable performance in demanding electronic environments.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include the 5SGXMA3K1F40C1G variant, which shares the same logic density and package but operates within an extended industrial temperature range. Designers should verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics before substituting components in existing hardware designs.
