It supports I/O counts up to 208 and operates with supply voltages ranging from 1.07V to 1.13V. The component is rated for commercial temperature ranges between 0°C and 85°C junction temperature.

Feature Summary

• Integrates Cyclone V GX architecture with dedicated transceiver capabilities for serial communication.
• Provides substantial embedded memory resources combining block RAM and M9K blocks for data buffering.
• Supports surface-mount installation in a compact 484-ball fine-pitch ball grid array package.

Applications

• Industrial automation control systems requiring deterministic logic processing.
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment utilizing serial data transmission.
• Medical imaging devices needing high-density programmable logic integration.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm temperature grade and packaging variations. Ensure compatibility with Quartus Prime software versions supporting the Cyclone V family. Check for any product change notices regarding labeling or pin definitions before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this model when design requirements exceed standard Cyclone V capacities but do not necessitate Stratix V performance levels. Evaluate power consumption profiles against available cooling solutions given the dense logic fabric. Confirm that the 484-pin footprint aligns with existing PCB layout constraints and manufacturing capabilities.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Cyclone V GX family, which targets cost-sensitive applications requiring moderate performance and integrated transceivers. It serves as an intermediate solution between lower-end Cyclone IV devices and higher-end Stratix families, offering a balance of logic density and serial connectivity options for system-on-chip implementations.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other variants within the 5CGXBC3 series such as 5CGXBC3B7F23C8N for different speed grades. Cross-family migration to Cyclone V E or SoC variants requires significant redesign due to architectural differences. Verify pinout compatibility if substituting with similar packages from other manufacturers.
