5AGXFB5H4F35I5N

Overview

The Altera 5AGXFB5H4F35I5N is an Arria V GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) manufactured using a 28nm low-power process. It features 190,000 logic elements and 8,962 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs). The device includes 12.9 Mbit of embedded memory and provides 544 I/Os. It integrates 24 transceivers supporting data rates up to 6.5536 Gb/s. Operating at a core voltage of 1.1 V, it functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +100°C. The component is housed in a 1152-ball FBGA package measuring 35x35 mm.

Feature Summary

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

Applications

• High-speed industrial communication systems
• Automotive electronics control units
• Medical imaging signal processing
• Digital signal processing applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix I5N to confirm the industrial temperature range (-40°C to +100°C), as other variants like C5N operate at commercial temperatures. Check current availability status as this model may be discontinued or subject to long lead times. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and power delivery networks before procurement.

Selection Notes

Compare against the 5AGXFA3 series for lower logic density requirements or the 5AGXFA7 series for higher capacity needs. Consider the 5SGXMA4 if Stratix V architecture is preferred. Evaluate the 24-transceiver count against actual bandwidth requirements to avoid over-specification. Confirm that the 1.1V core voltage aligns with system power budget constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Arria V GX family, designed for cost-sensitive yet performance-critical applications requiring high-speed serial connectivity. It sits between the Cyclone V and Stratix V families in terms of performance and feature set. The 28nm process technology offers a balance of power efficiency and logic density for mid-range FPGA designs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements are limited due to the discontinuation of the Arria V line. The Intel Agilex 3 or Agilex 5 families serve as modern successors but require significant design migration. No pin-compatible direct substitutes exist within the same package footprint.
