Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to potential availability constraints. Confirm specific ordering suffixes match design requirements as variations may exist. Check current lifecycle status as this model may be subject to discontinuation notices. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and moisture sensitivity level handling procedures during assembly.

Selection Notes

Compare against other Stratix V GX variants based on required I/O count and transceiver quantity. Evaluate power consumption profiles relative to the 900 mV core voltage specification. Assess PCB layout constraints imposed by the 1152-pin FBGA footprint. Consider thermal management solutions necessary for sustained operation at maximum ambient temperatures.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Altera Stratix V GX family, designed for high-bandwidth applications requiring significant parallel processing capabilities. The 5SGXA5 series designation indicates a specific density tier within the broader Stratix portfolio. It shares architectural similarities with other GX models but offers distinct resource configurations tailored for cost-sensitive high-performance segments.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 5SGXMA5 series devices such as 5SGXMA5H2F35I3N or 5SGXMA5K3F35I3N, depending on specific I/O and transceiver needs. Cross-family migration to Arria V or Cyclone V requires significant redesign. Verify pinout compatibility and software toolchain support before implementing any alternative part numbers.
