5ASTFD5K3F40I3NES

Overview

The Altera 5ASTFD5K3F40I3NES is a Stratix V ST FPGA featuring 286,080 Adaptive Logic Modules and 19.7 Mbits of embedded memory within a 1517-ball FCBGA package. It supports data rates up to 14.1 Gb/s with integrated transceivers and operates at a core voltage of 0.85V across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +100°C.

Feature Summary

• Stratix V ST architecture optimized for high-density logic and memory applications
• Integrated high-speed serial transceivers supporting multi-gigabit data transmission
• Advanced power management capabilities with low-voltage core operation

Applications

• High-performance telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Enterprise networking switches and routers
• Industrial automation control systems requiring deterministic latency

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Intel/Altera distributors or certified secondary market vendors. Request original manufacturer documentation and traceability records to confirm the part has not been refurbished or counterfeited. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and check for moisture sensitivity level handling requirements during storage and assembly processes.

Selection Notes

Compare against other Stratix V variants based on specific I/O count and transceiver availability needs. Evaluate thermal dissipation requirements for the 1517-ball package in the target enclosure design. Confirm software compatibility with the Quartus Prime Pro Edition version required for Stratix V device support and licensing models.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V family, representing a mature generation of FPGAs designed for complex digital signal processing and system integration tasks. The 'ST' designation indicates a specific sub-family variant focused on balancing performance with cost-efficiency compared to higher-end GX or SX series devices.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements are limited due to the discontinued status of the Stratix V line. Consider migration paths to Agilex or Arria families, though these require significant schematic and layout redesigns rather than simple substitution.
