5AGXFA5H4F35I5N

Overview

The Altera 5AGXFA5H4F35I5N is an Arria V GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) manufactured using a 28nm low-power process technology. It features 190,000 logic elements and 8,962 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs). The device includes approximately 12.9 Mbit of embedded memory and supports DDR2, DDR3, LPDDR, LPDDR2, QDR II, and RLDRAM II interfaces. It integrates 24 high-speed transceivers capable of data rates up to 6.5536 Gb/s. Operating at a maximum frequency of 670 MHz, it utilizes a 1.1 V supply voltage and is housed in an FBGA-1152 package measuring 35x35 mm. The I5N suffix indicates an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +100°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates 24 high-speed serial transceivers for multi-channel communication applications
• Supports multiple external memory interface standards including DDR3 and LPDDR2
• Industrial-grade thermal rating suitable for harsh operating environments

Applications

• High-speed network communication systems
• Industrial control systems requiring wide temperature tolerance
• Digital signal processing hardware acceleration

Procurement Notes

This component is officially listed as obsolete or end-of-life by the manufacturer. Availability is restricted to secondary market channels or existing stock from distributors. Verification of authenticity and lot traceability is critical due to the discontinued status. Buyers should confirm the specific revision level and ensure compatibility with legacy design files before procurement.

Selection Notes

Engineers selecting this part must account for its discontinued status when planning long-term production lifecycles. The 28nm process node offers a balance of performance and power efficiency but may require migration strategies for future projects. Designers should verify that the 6.5536 Gb/s transceiver speed meets current system bandwidth requirements without necessitating higher-tier Stratix devices.

Part Context

The 5AGXFA5H4F35I5N belongs to the Arria V GX family, which targets cost-sensitive high-performance applications. It sits between the lower-density Cyclone series and the high-end Stratix series. The 'GX' designation specifically highlights the inclusion of high-speed Gigabit transceivers, distinguishing it from the ST (Signal Termination) variants within the same Arria V architecture.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements are not available due to the product's obsolescence. Potential functional equivalents include the Intel Agilex 5 or Agilex 7 families, though these require significant architectural redesign. Legacy designs may also consider migrating to newer Intel FPGA families with updated toolchain support.
