5AGXMA3D4F27I5N

Overview

The Altera 5AGXMA3D4F27I5N is an Arria V GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) manufactured using a 28nm process technology. It features 156,000 logic elements and 5,890 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs). The device includes 10.26 Mbits of embedded memory and provides 416 I/Os. It integrates nine high-speed transceivers capable of data rates up to 6.5536 Gbps. Operating at a core voltage of 1.1V, it supports maximum frequencies of 1.05 GHz. The component is housed in an FBGA-896 package with a -40°C to +100°C operating temperature range.

Feature Summary

• Integrates nine high-speed serial transceivers for multi-gigabit communication applications.
• Utilizes 28nm low-power process technology for optimized performance per watt.
• Provides extensive embedded memory resources for complex data buffering and processing.

Applications

• High-speed networking equipment requiring multi-gigabit serial interfaces.
• Industrial control systems demanding wide industrial temperature operation.
• Digital signal processing hardware utilizing embedded memory blocks.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I5N' to confirm the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +100°C) and speed bin. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation or authorized distributors. Check for end-of-life notifications as older Arria V devices may have limited new production availability. Ensure supply chain authenticity to avoid counterfeit components.

Selection Notes

Compare the nine-transceiver count against interface requirements; select higher-capacity models if more lanes are needed. Verify that the FBGA-896 package dimensions fit the target PCB footprint. Consider the 1.1V core voltage for power supply design. Evaluate the 10.26 Mbit memory capacity against system buffer needs before finalizing the part number.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria V GX family, designed for cost-sensitive yet high-performance applications. It sits between lower-density Cyclone devices and higher-end Stratix families. The 'MA' designation typically indicates specific memory and I/O configurations within the GX series architecture.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package are limited due to architectural differences. Upgrades may require migrating to Arria 10 or Agilex families, necessitating schematic and layout redesigns. Verify software toolchain compatibility when considering alternative FPGA vendors.
