5CGXBC3B6U15C7N

Overview

The Altera 5CGXBC3B6U15C7N is a Cyclone V GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC. It features 36,000 Logic Elements and 13,460 Adaptive Logic Modules within its architecture. The device includes 1.53 Mbits of embedded memory, comprising 182 kbits of Embedded Block RAM. It supports up to 144 I/O pins and integrates three transceivers capable of data rates up to 2.5 Gb/s. Operating at a supply voltage of 1.07V to 1.13V, it is housed in a 324-UBGA package measuring 15x15 mm. The component operates within a junction temperature range of 0°C to 85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates three high-speed serial transceivers for communication applications
• Provides extensive programmable logic resources via adaptive logic modules
• Includes significant embedded memory capacity for data buffering and processing

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust programmable logic
• Communication infrastructure utilizing serial transceiver interfaces
• Test and measurement equipment needing flexible signal processing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C7' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm the commercial temperature grade and performance bin. Ensure compatibility with the 324-UBGA footprint during PCB layout. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current datasheets as manufacturing processes may evolve. Cross-reference the DigiKey or Mouser part numbers for accurate sourcing channels.

Selection Notes

Select this model when three transceivers are sufficient for system connectivity requirements. Compare resource utilization against the 5CGXFC3B6U15A7N if higher speed grades or automotive qualification are needed. Evaluate power consumption profiles relative to the Cyclone V E series for cost-sensitive designs. Verify that the 144 I/O count meets interface density needs without excessive pin multiplexing.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Cyclone V GX family, which targets cost-sensitive applications requiring moderate performance and integrated transceivers. It sits below the Stratix and Arria families in terms of capacity but offers a balance of logic density and serial connectivity. The 'BC' designation typically indicates specific process corners or packaging variations within the broader GX product line.
