• Provides extensive programmable logic resources through over 15,000 adaptive logic modules for complex system implementation.
• Includes substantial on-chip embedded memory blocks to support buffering and data storage requirements.

Applications

• High-speed telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Digital signal processing systems requiring large throughput
• Industrial automation control units

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity and physical condition upon receipt, as this Stratix V series part may be subject to obsolescence or limited availability. Confirm that the specific suffix matches the required pinout and electrical characteristics for your design. Ensure proper handling procedures are followed due to moisture sensitivity classification. Cross-reference the manufacturer datasheet for any recent product change notices affecting lead times or packaging standards before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this FPGA when designs require a balance of moderate logic density and high-speed serial connectivity within a constrained footprint. The 1152-pin package offers sufficient I/O count for mid-range interface requirements. Evaluate thermal management capabilities early in the design phase, as the dense logic and high-speed transceivers generate significant heat. Compare against lower-tier Stratix models if logic utilization remains below 15,000 LABs to optimize cost efficiency.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Intel (formerly Altera) Stratix V GX family, which targets gigabit transceiver applications. The 'GX' designation indicates optimized performance for serial communication protocols compared to standard Stratix variants. The 5SGXMA4K prefix identifies the specific logic density tier within the broader Stratix V portfolio, positioning it between entry-level and flagship high-density devices.

Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed for this specific variant. Designers should evaluate the Stratix V MX or GX families for potential architectural compatibility, though pinouts and resource counts will differ. Legacy migration strategies may require schematic redesigns rather than simple drop-in replacements.
