Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I2LG' against official Altera documentation to confirm the exact temperature grade and packaging variant. Ensure compatibility with Quartus Prime software versions supporting the Stratix V family. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's current datasheet before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring significant logic density combined with high-speed serial connectivity. Compare total embedded memory requirements against the 28.5 Mbit capacity. Evaluate thermal dissipation needs given the 1517-ball package footprint and ensure the PCB layout supports the required I/O standards and power delivery networks.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets demanding communication and DSP applications. It sits within the broader Altera portfolio alongside Stratix V GS and SX variants, distinguished by its integrated high-speed transceiver capabilities. The 5SGXMA4K designation indicates a specific logic density tier within the GX series.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other Stratix V GX devices with similar logic counts, such as the 5SGXMA3K or 5SGXMA5K series, provided pinout and performance requirements align. Verify that any substitute maintains the same 1517-FBGA package dimensions and electrical characteristics.
