5CGTFD9D5F27I7N

Overview

The Altera 5CGTFD9D5F27I7N is a Cyclone V GT Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) built on TSMC's 28 nm low-power process technology. It features 301K logic elements, 113,560 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs), and 12,200 Kb of M10K embedded memory. The device includes 12 high-speed 6.144 Gbps transceivers, two hard PCIe Gen2 controllers, and two hard memory controllers supporting DDR3/DDR2/LPDDR2. It operates at a core voltage of 1.07 V to 1.13 V, supports up to 560 GPIOs, and is housed in a 672-pin FineLine BGA package with an industrial temperature range of -40°C to 100°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates 6.144 Gbps serial transceivers for high-bandwidth applications
• Includes hard IP blocks for PCIe Gen2 and external memory interfaces
• Supports dynamic partial reconfiguration for flexible system updates

Applications

• Industrial automation systems requiring high-speed data acquisition
• Wireless infrastructure baseband processing units
• Military and aerospace signal processing platforms

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against Intel's official Product Selector Guide to confirm package dimensions and speed grades. Ensure that the required transceiver channel counts align with the selected FBGA footprint. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead-free packaging availability directly with authorized distributors or Intel sales representatives prior to procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this variant when 6.144 Gbps transceiver performance is mandatory for the design. Compare resource utilization against Cyclone V GX devices if lower speeds suffice to reduce cost. Verify that the 672-pin package fits the board space constraints. Check for alternative members within the D9 family if different I/O counts are needed.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Cyclone V GT family, which targets the lowest cost and power requirements for 6.144 Gbps transceiver applications. It sits alongside E, GX, SE, SX, and ST variants, offering a balance of high-speed connectivity and FPGA fabric density without the integrated Hard Processor System found in SoC models.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other members of the Cyclone V GT D9 family, such as 5CGTFD9A5U19A7N or 5CGTFD9D5F31C7N, provided they match the required pin count and package type. Cross-family migration to Cyclone V GX requires verifying transceiver speed compatibility.
