5AGZME3H2F35C3N

Overview

The Altera 5AGZME3H2F35C3N is an Arria V GZ Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) featuring 16,980 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs) and 534 I/Os. It integrates 33.2 Mbits of embedded memory, including 5,306 kbits of Embedded Block RAM (EBR). The device supports transceiver data rates from 10.3125 Gb/s and operates within a junction temperature range of 0°C to 85°C. Powered by a core voltage between 0.82V and 0.88V, it utilizes a 1152-ball FCBGA package.

Feature Summary

• High-density logic architecture with over 16,000 ALMs for complex digital processing
• Integrated high-speed serial transceivers supporting multi-gigabit data transmission
• Substantial on-chip memory resources for buffering and data storage applications

Applications

• High-performance networking infrastructure equipment
• Industrial automation control systems
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C3' indicates the commercial temperature grade (0°C to 85°C) against official Intel/Altera documentation. Confirm the 1152-ball FCBGA package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements. Check for any known issues or errata related to the hard memory controller interfaces before finalizing the design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when requiring a balance of moderate logic density and high-speed serial connectivity within the Arria V GZ family. Ensure the design fits within the 33.2 Mbit memory budget. Compare against the 5AGZME7 series if higher transceiver counts or logic resources are needed, noting the differences in pin count and performance specifications.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Arria V GZ family, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed serial links. It sits below the Stratix V and Arria II GX families in terms of raw performance but offers optimized power efficiency for mid-range data center and industrial uses.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other variants within the Arria V GZ family such as the 5AGZME5H2F35C3G or 5AGZME7H3F35I4N, depending on whether increased logic density or extended temperature ranges are required. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and software configuration file compatibility.
