5ASTFD3K3F40I5N

Overview

The Altera 5ASTFD3K3F40I5N is a Stratix V SX FPGA featuring 128,300 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs) and 696 user I/Os. It utilizes a 40x40 mm FCBGA-1517 package with an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +100°C. The device integrates 36 high-speed transceivers supporting data rates up to 14.1 Gb/s, alongside 22.92 Mbits of embedded memory. Operating at a core voltage of 0.9V, it supports advanced interfaces including DDR3 and PCIe for complex system-on-chip applications.

Feature Summary

• Integrates 36 high-speed serial transceivers for multi-gigabit communication
• Features non-volatile configuration capability via integrated Flash architecture
• Supports flexible I/O standards across multiple independent voltage banks
• Includes extensive DSP blocks and embedded memory for signal processing

Applications

• High-speed networking equipment and telecommunications infrastructure
• Industrial automation and control systems requiring wide temperature operation
• Medical imaging devices and digital signal processing hardware
• Test and measurement instrumentation with high bandwidth requirements

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision level and manufacturing date code against current Intel/Altera lifecycle notices. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level handling requirements prior to assembly. Ensure compatibility with legacy design tools if migrating from older Stratix families.

Selection Notes

Compare logic density and transceiver counts against Cyclone V or Arria V alternatives for cost optimization. Evaluate power consumption profiles under maximum load conditions relative to available cooling solutions. Assess pinout compatibility with existing board layouts when considering form factor constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V family, representing a high-performance tier within the Altera portfolio. It bridges the gap between mid-range Cyclone devices and top-tier Stratix X series, offering a balance of high-speed serial connectivity and programmable logic resources for demanding embedded applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional equivalents are limited due to specific pinout and feature sets. Consider Stratix V variants with similar ALM counts or migrate to Agilex series for future-proofing, noting significant toolchain and architectural differences.
