5CGTFD5C5M13I7N

Overview

The Altera 5CGTFD5C5M13I7N is a Cyclone V GT Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designed for high-performance logic and DSP applications. It features 29,080 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs) and 77,000 Logic Elements (LEs). The device includes 4.884 Mbits of embedded memory with 424 kbits of embedded block RAM (EBR). It supports 175 I/O pins and operates within a supply voltage range of 1.07V to 1.13V. The component is rated for industrial temperatures from -40°C to +100°C TJ and utilizes a 383-pin MBGA package measuring 23x23 mm.

• Features variable-precision DSP blocks optimized for complex algorithmic processing.
• Supports secure configuration and remote system upgrade capabilities.

Applications

• Industrial automation and control systems
• Medical imaging equipment signal processing
• Communication infrastructure protocol conversion
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific speed grade suffix 'M13' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm timing characteristics. Ensure the package type matches the target PCB footprint. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's current product availability page. Check for any recent Product Change Notifications regarding labeling or material composition updates.

Selection Notes

Select this model when requiring a balance of moderate logic density and integrated processor resources. Compare total embedded memory requirements against the 4.884 Mbit capacity. Evaluate if the 175 I/O count meets interface needs without excessive pin multiplexing. Consider thermal dissipation requirements for the MBGA package in enclosed environments.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cyclone V GT family, which distinguishes itself from standard Cyclone V devices by including hard transceiver blocks. It sits below the Stratix and Arria families in terms of performance but offers lower cost and power consumption. The 'GT' designation indicates the presence of Gigabit Transceivers suitable for serial data links.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same package and pinout are limited due to specific speed grade variations. Upgrading may require moving to the Cyclone V GX series or higher-density GT variants. Verify pin compatibility before substituting with other 383-pin MBGA FPGAs from different manufacturers.
