Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I2N' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm the exact commercial temperature grade and package variant. Cross-reference the part number with current lifecycle status notices, as this component may be subject to discontinuation or obsolescence warnings from the original equipment manufacturer.

Selection Notes

Compare the 490,000 LE count and 36-transceiver configuration against project requirements to ensure sufficient resources. Evaluate the 14.1 Gb/s transceiver speed capability relative to interface standards. Confirm that the 1517 FBGA footprint aligns with existing PCB layout constraints and thermal management strategies.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets high-speed serial communication markets. It shares architectural similarities with other 5SGX variants but differs in logic density and I/O counts. The 'GX' designation specifically indicates optimized support for high-speed serial interfaces compared to standard Stratix V models.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official cross-reference guides for direct equivalents within the Stratix V portfolio. Consider migration paths to newer families such as Arria 10 or Agilex if long-term supply assurance is required, ensuring pinout and feature compatibility are maintained.
