• Integrated high-speed serial transceivers supporting multi-gigabit data transmission rates for advanced communication protocols.
• Substantial on-chip embedded memory resources facilitating efficient data buffering and processing without external components.

Applications

• High-speed telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Digital signal processing systems requiring parallel computation
• Network switching and routing hardware

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to the prevalence of counterfeits in the FPGA market. Confirm that the specific suffix indicates the correct temperature grade and package variant required for your design. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if applicable to your region. Check for moisture sensitivity level requirements during storage and handling procedures.

Selection Notes

Compare this model against other Stratix V variants based on specific logic element counts and transceiver availability. Evaluate power consumption profiles relative to the target application's thermal constraints. Consider the pinout compatibility with existing PCB layouts when selecting between different package options within the same family.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets high-speed serial interface applications. It sits alongside models like the 5SGXMA5N3F40C2G, differing primarily in manufacturing revisions or specific feature enablements defined by the manufacturer. The series is known for integrating hard processor system capabilities in later generations, though this specific GX variant focuses on logic and transceivers.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements are limited due to the end-of-life status of many Stratix V parts. Potential substitutes include newer Agilex families, but these require significant architectural redesign. Verify if any updated revision codes from the same manufacturer offer backward-compatible pinouts before considering alternatives.
