5AGXFA5H4F35I3G

Overview

The Altera 5AGXFA5H4F35I3G is an Arria V GX Field Programmable Gate Array manufactured using a 28nm low-power process. It features 190,000 logic elements and 8,962 logic array blocks within an FBGA-1152 package measuring 35x35mm. The device integrates 24 high-speed transceivers capable of data rates up to 6.5536 Gbps and includes approximately 12.9 Mbit of embedded memory. It supports various memory interfaces including DDR2, DDR3, LPDDR, and QDR II. The I3G suffix indicates an industrial temperature range of -40°C to 100°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates 24 high-speed serial transceivers for complex communication protocols
• Utilizes 28nm low-power technology for optimized energy efficiency
• Supports diverse external memory standards for flexible system design

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust signal processing
• Automotive electronics with high I/O demands
• Medical imaging equipment needing precise data handling
• High-speed network communication infrastructure

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision level and manufacturing date code upon receipt, as older batches may exhibit different electrical characteristics or packaging variations. Confirm RoHS compliance documentation matches current regulatory requirements for your target market. Ensure proper electrostatic discharge handling procedures are followed during installation due to the sensitivity of the 28nm CMOS structure.

Selection Notes

Compare against the 5AGXFA3 series for lower logic density requirements or the 5AGXFA7 series if higher performance is needed. Consider the 5AGXFA5H4F35I5G variant if commercial temperature range (0°C to 85°C) suffices for your application environment. Evaluate power consumption profiles against thermal constraints in your final enclosure design before committing to this specific speed grade.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria V GX family, designed for mid-to-high-end applications balancing performance and power. It sits between the smaller Arria V ST models and larger Stratix devices. The FBGA-1152 package provides extensive pin access for complex interconnects, making it suitable for dense PCB layouts in professional electronic systems.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Arria V GX variants such as 5AGXFA5H4F35I5G for commercial temperature use. For legacy replacements, consider Stratix IV devices if form factor compatibility allows, though architectural differences require significant design revalidation.
