Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels as this part may be subject to obsolescence or limited availability. Confirm that the specific suffix matches the required performance grade and package variant. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and check for moisture sensitivity handling requirements prior to assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this model when the design requires a balance of moderate logic density and significant serial connectivity via 36 transceivers. Compare against other Stratix V variants if higher logic counts or different I/O configurations are needed. Ensure the PCB layout supports the 1152-ball FBGA footprint and thermal management for the specified operating temperature range.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets high-end applications requiring advanced serial I/O capabilities. It shares the same physical package and general architecture with other devices in the 5SGX series, differing primarily in logic resource counts and memory sizes within the same form factor.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same package include the 5SGXEA5K3F35I4N and 5SGXMA5H2F35I3N, though these offer different logic densities and I/O counts. Verify pin compatibility and functional equivalence before swapping components in existing designs.
