Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official datasheets to ensure correct voltage, temperature, and packaging variants. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements during storage and handling. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components. Ensure design files match the exact revision indicated by the ordering code.

Selection Notes

Select this model when requiring a balance of high-density logic and significant serial transceiver capacity within the Stratix V family. Compare total ALM counts and embedded memory sizes against alternative devices to meet area constraints. Verify that the 1517-FBGA package footprint aligns with existing PCB layout specifications. Check if the 14.1 Gb/s transceiver speed meets interface requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX series, which targets high-performance serial applications. It shares architectural similarities with other 5SGX parts but differs in logic density and transceiver count. The '5N' designation typically indicates specific performance or feature sets within the broader Stratix V portfolio. It serves as an upgrade path from previous generation FPGAs requiring higher throughput.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the 5SGXMA5N3F40C2G and 5SGXEA4K2F40C2LG, though pinouts and resource counts may vary. Verify functional equivalence before swapping. No identical drop-in replacements are confirmed without schematic review.
