• Features a scalable architecture with adaptive logic modules optimized for complex logic density.

Applications

• High-speed telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Data center interconnects and switching systems
• Advanced test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Intel/Altera documentation to ensure correct speed grade, temperature rating, and packaging configuration. Confirm current lifecycle status as legacy components may have limited availability or require alternative sourcing strategies through authorized distributors.

Selection Notes

Compare the 5SGXMA4K1F35I2G against other Stratix V variants based on required I/O count, transceiver bandwidth, and power consumption constraints. Ensure the selected device meets the specific timing closure requirements and pinout compatibility for the target PCB design without necessitating major layout revisions.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which emphasizes high-speed serial connectivity. It shares architectural similarities with other 5SGX models but differs in logic capacity and memory allocation. The 'GX' designation specifically indicates optimization for general-purpose high-speed serial applications compared to the GT family focused on graphics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements are limited due to the legacy status of the Stratix V series. Potential alternatives include migrating to the Agilex or Stratix 10 families, though this requires significant redesign of firmware and hardware. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility if considering older Stratix IV or V derivatives.
