Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official manufacturer documentation to ensure correct temperature grade and package variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level prior to integration into surface-mount assembly processes. Cross-reference the part number with current lifecycle status to avoid obsolescence risks during production planning.

Selection Notes

Compare the 185,000 ALM count and 37 Mbit memory against project requirements to determine if higher or lower density devices are more cost-effective. Evaluate the 14.1 Gb/s transceiver capability against interface speed needs. Ensure the 1517-FBGA footprint matches the PCB layout constraints and thermal design specifications.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets high-performance serial communication and complex logic applications. It shares the same package form factor as other variants in the series but differs in logic density and memory configuration. The 'GX' designation indicates optimized transceiver capabilities for serial data links.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible substitutes within the same package include the 5SGXEA5K3F40I4G and 5SGXMA5K1F40C2N, though these differ in logic resources and memory size. Verify functional equivalence before substitution.
