5ASTFD5K3F40I3G

Overview

The Altera 5ASTFD5K3F40I3G is a Stratix V ST Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designed for high-density logic applications. It features 512,000 logic elements and 192,800 adaptive logic modules within a 1152-pin FCBGA package. The device integrates 36 GXB transceivers capable of data rates up to 14.1 Gb/s, supporting high-speed serial interfaces. Embedded memory totals 27.6 Mbit, providing substantial on-chip storage for data buffering and processing. Operating at a core voltage of 0.85V, it supports industrial temperature ranges from -40°C to +100°C junction temperature.

Feature Summary

• High-density logic architecture with over half a million logic elements for complex system integration
• Integrated high-speed serial connectivity via multiple GXB transceivers supporting multi-gigabit data rates
• Robust embedded memory resources for efficient data handling and algorithm implementation
• Industrial-grade thermal performance suitable for demanding operational environments

Applications

• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment requiring high-bandwidth signal processing
• Enterprise networking switches and routers with advanced packet processing needs
• Industrial automation systems utilizing high-speed serial communication protocols
• Test and measurement instruments requiring precise timing and data acquisition

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels due to the prevalence of counterfeit programmable logic devices. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level prior to soldering. Ensure proper ESD handling procedures are followed during storage and assembly to prevent latent damage to the sensitive silicon structure.

Selection Notes

Compare against Arria V or Stratix IV families if legacy pin compatibility is required. Evaluate power consumption profiles against similar density devices in the Agilex family for future-proofing considerations. Verify that the 1152-pin package footprint aligns with existing PCB layout constraints and thermal management strategies before finalizing the design.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V ST family, which targets cost-sensitive high-performance applications compared to the GX series. It shares architectural similarities with other Stratix V devices but offers optimized resource allocation for specific throughput requirements. The designation indicates standard temperature range operation and specific packaging configuration distinct from commercial variants.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements are limited within the same family. Consider the 5ASTFD5K3F40C3G for commercial temperature range applications if environmental constraints allow. Cross-family migration to Agilex devices requires significant redesign due to architectural differences.
