Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix against official Altera documentation to ensure correct package and temperature grade specifications. Confirm current lifecycle status as end-of-life or obsolescence may affect long-term supply chain stability. Request updated datasheets directly from authorized distributors to validate pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics before finalizing procurement plans.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Compare the 490,000 LE count and 37 Mbit memory against project requirements to ensure sufficient resource headroom. Evaluate the 1517-pin FBGA package dimensions for PCB layout constraints and thermal management needs. Assess the 14.1 Gb/s transceiver speed capability relative to interface bandwidth demands. Verify that the 900 mV core voltage aligns with available power delivery network designs.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets gigabit transceiver applications. It shares architectural similarities with other 5SGX series devices but differs in specific logic density and I/O counts. The part number indicates a specific variant within the broader Stratix portfolio, distinguished by its particular combination of logic elements and memory configuration.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Check for direct cross-references within the Stratix V family such as 5SGXMA5N3F40C2G. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility if substituting with similar density parts. Ensure software toolchain support remains consistent for migration to alternative FPGA models.
