Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'LN' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm the exact temperature grade and package variant, as suffixes define critical environmental and physical specifications. Ensure compatibility with the required PCB thermal design and soldering profiles specified for the 1517-FBGA package before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a balance of moderate logic density and significant serial connectivity is required. The 36-transceiver configuration supports multiple high-speed interfaces, while the 1900 ALM count suits mid-range complexity. Compare against the 5SGXMA3K series for lower resource needs or the 5SGXMA5K series for higher capacity if the current specification is insufficient.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which emphasizes high-speed serial I/O capabilities over pure logic density. It serves as a bridge between general-purpose FPGAs and specialized ASICs, offering programmability for evolving standards. The 'GX' designation specifically highlights its focus on gigabit transceiver performance for telecommunications and industrial applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements are not publicly confirmed for this specific suffix combination. Consider the 5SGXMA4K1F40C2LG for similar electrical characteristics but verify package and temperature differences. Upgrading to newer Intel Agilex families may require schematic and layout redesign due to architectural changes.
