5CGTFD9C5F23C7N

Overview

The Altera 5CGTFD9C5F23C7N is a Cyclone V GT FPGA built on TSMC's 28nm low-power process. It features 301,000 logic elements, 113,560 adaptive logic modules, and 12,200 Kb of M10K embedded memory. The device includes six 6.144 Gbps transceivers and supports PCIe Gen2 hard IP. Operating at a core voltage of 1.07V to 1.13V, it is housed in a 484-pin FineLine BGA package with a commercial temperature range of 0°C to 85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrated six-channel high-speed serial transceivers supporting up to 6.144 Gbps data rates for demanding bandwidth applications.
• Includes hard IP blocks for PCI Express Gen2 and Gen1 with multifunction support, endpoint, and root port capabilities.
• Features variable-precision DSP blocks capable of native support for multiple signal processing precision levels within the same block.

Applications

• High-bandwidth industrial communication systems
• Wireless and wireline infrastructure equipment
• Military and aerospace signal processing platforms

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against Intel documentation to confirm lead-free packaging status and exact speed grade. Ensure the selected package footprint matches the PCB design constraints. Confirm that the commercial temperature rating aligns with the operational environment requirements before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when high-density logic resources are required alongside significant serial I/O bandwidth. The GT variant is appropriate for designs needing 6 Gbps transceivers rather than the lower-speed GX or E series. Evaluate total system power consumption against the 28nm LP process capabilities to ensure thermal compliance.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Cyclone V GT family, which targets cost-sensitive applications requiring high-speed serial connectivity. It sits above the GX series in terms of transceiver speed but lacks the integrated Hard Processor System found in SE, SX, and ST variants. It serves as a bridge between general-purpose logic and high-performance SoC solutions.

Replacement Considerations
