5AGXFA7H4F35C4N

Overview

The Altera 5AGXFA7H4F35C4N is an Arria V GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) manufactured using a 28nm low-power process. It features 242,000 logic elements and 11,460 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs). The device includes 1,547 Mbits of embedded memory and supports up to 544 I/Os. It integrates 24 transceivers capable of data rates up to 6.5536 Gbps. Operating at a supply voltage of 1.07V to 1.13V, it is housed in a 1152-ball FCBGA package measuring 35x35 mm. The commercial temperature range is specified from 0°C to 85°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides extensive embedded memory resources for complex data buffering and processing
• Supports multiple standard memory interface protocols including DDR3 and LPDDR2
• Utilizes 28nm low-power technology for efficient power consumption

Applications

• High-speed network infrastructure equipment
• Industrial control systems requiring parallel data processing
• Medical imaging signal processing units
• Digital signal processing applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix C4N against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm the commercial temperature grade and speed bin. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the 1152-FBGA package. Confirm current production status as legacy components may have limited availability or require alternative sourcing strategies.

Selection Notes

Compare the 242,000 LE capacity and 24-transceiver count against project requirements. Evaluate if the 6.5536 Gbps transceiver speed meets interface standards. Consider thermal management solutions for the 35x35mm package within the target enclosure constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria V GX family, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring moderate performance and high I/O density. It sits between the smaller Arria V GT/GX models and larger Stratix V devices, offering a balance of logic resources and connectivity for mid-range embedded systems.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements are not publicly confirmed for this specific part number. Engineers should evaluate newer Intel FPGA families such as Agilex or Cyclone V for functional equivalents, noting architectural differences in memory controllers and transceiver capabilities.
