5AGXMB1G4F40I5N

Overview

The Altera 5AGXMB1G4F40I5N is an Arria V GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) manufactured using a 28nm low-power process. It features 300,000 logic elements and 11,320 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs). The device integrates 14.75 Mbit of embedded memory, comprising distributed RAM and embedded block RAM. It provides 384 I/Os and includes 18 high-speed transceivers capable of data rates up to 6.5536 Gb/s. Operating at a maximum frequency of 1.05 GHz, it supports supply voltages between 1.15V and 1.15V for the core. The component is housed in an 896-pin FBGA package with dimensions of 30x30mm and operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to +100°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates 18 high-speed transceivers supporting serial communication protocols with data rates up to 6.5536 Gb/s.
• Features non-volatile configuration capability allowing immediate operation upon power-up without external configuration memory.
• Provides flexible I/O banking with support for multiple voltage standards including LVCMOS and LVTTL.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust signal processing
• Medical imaging equipment demanding high-speed data acquisition
• Test and measurement instruments utilizing precision timing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturing date code and lot number against the datasheet revision history to ensure compliance with current RoHS and REACH regulations. Confirm that the device has not been exposed to moisture beyond its specified humidity sensitivity level prior to soldering. Request a certificate of conformity from the supplier to validate authenticity and traceability through the authorized distribution channel.

Selection Notes

Select this model when the design requires a balance of moderate logic density and significant serial connectivity. The presence of 18 transceivers makes it suitable for applications needing multiple high-speed interfaces. Ensure the PCB layout accommodates the 896-ball BGA footprint and thermal requirements associated with the 28nm process node under industrial temperature conditions.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria V GX family, which targets cost-sensitive applications requiring high performance. It serves as a bridge between lower-density CPLDs and larger Stratix FPGAs. The 'GX' designation indicates the inclusion of high-speed transceivers, distinguishing it from the standard Arria V series. It is designed for environments where power efficiency and moderate I/O counts are critical constraints.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements are limited within the Altera portfolio due to varying pin counts and feature sets. Consider the 5AGXMB1G4F31I3N for similar functionality but with different speed grades or package options. Verify compatibility with existing Quartus Prime software versions, as newer tool releases may drop support for older device families.
