5AGTMC3D3F27I3N

Overview

The Altera 5AGTMC3D3F27I3N is an Arria V GT Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) belonging to the mid-range segment of the family. It features 102,600 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs), equivalent to approximately 83,020 logic elements, and includes 11.43 Mbits of embedded memory. The device provides 612 I/O pins and integrates 24 high-speed transceivers capable of data rates up to 12.5 Gb/s. It operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +85°C and utilizes a 1517-pin FineLine Ball-Grid Array (FBGA) package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates 24 high-speed transceivers supporting advanced serial protocols for bandwidth-intensive applications
• Utilizes Adaptive Logic Module architecture for efficient resource utilization and flexible logic implementation
• Includes extensive on-chip memory resources to support complex buffering and data processing tasks

Applications

• High-speed networking equipment requiring multi-gigabit serial connectivity
• Industrial automation systems with significant I/O and control logic requirements
• Test and measurement instruments utilizing high-bandwidth data acquisition

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Intel/Altera distributors or certified secondary market vendors. Request original manufacturer documentation and traceability records to confirm provenance. Inspect packaging integrity and pin condition upon receipt. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and relevant regional import regulations before deployment in final assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this model when specific capacity between 80k and 120k ALMs is required alongside substantial transceiver counts. Compare against Cyclone V for cost-sensitive low-performance needs or Stratix V for higher density. Evaluate power consumption profiles against available cooling solutions. Confirm pin compatibility if replacing legacy devices within existing board footprints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria V GT family, designed for cost-effective high-speed serial communications. It bridges the gap between lower-end Cyclone devices and premium Stratix families. The GT series specifically emphasizes transceiver performance for media streaming and industrial Ethernet applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other Arria V GT variants such as 5AGTMC5D3F27I3N for increased capacity or 5AGTMD3D3F27I3N for different package options. Cross-family migration to Agilex 3 may require architectural redesign but offers future-proofing.
