Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels due to potential availability constraints. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level prior to assembly planning. Ensure proper handling procedures are followed given the fine-pitch BGA packaging. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to confirm pinout and electrical specifications match design requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Evaluate the 14.1 Gb/s transceiver capability against target interface speeds such as PCIe or Ethernet standards. Assess the 19 Mbit memory allocation for required buffer depths and on-chip storage needs. Compare the 2,304 LAB count with design complexity to ensure sufficient logic resources. Consider the 900 mV core voltage for power supply design and thermal management strategies relative to similar Stratix V variants.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which emphasizes high-speed serial connectivity alongside robust logic capabilities. It shares architectural similarities with other Stratix V devices but offers specific transceiver counts and logic densities tailored for bandwidth-intensive applications. The part number suffix indicates specific package, temperature, and speed grade variations within the broader product line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Stratix V GX devices with comparable LAB counts and transceiver configurations, such as the 5SGXMA5K1F35I2N. Verify pin compatibility and electrical characteristics when considering alternative part numbers from the same family.
