Operating at a maximum frequency of 925 MHz with a supply voltage of 1.1 V, it is housed in a 324-UBGA package and supports an operating temperature range from 0°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates high-speed serial transceivers for reliable data transmission
• Provides configurable logic blocks for complex digital design implementation
• Includes dedicated embedded memory resources for data buffering

Applications

• Industrial automation control systems
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm package type, temperature grade, and lead-free status. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts by checking pin assignments and power requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance and moisture sensitivity levels before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when moderate logic density and serial connectivity are required within the Cyclone V family. Compare resource utilization against similar models like the 5CGXFC3 series to ensure optimal cost-performance balance. Verify that the UBGA-324 footprint matches the target PCB design constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cyclone V GX series, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring Gigabit Transceiver capabilities. It sits below higher-end Stratix devices in performance but offers significant flexibility compared to standard Cyclone V E or SE variants lacking transceivers.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Cyclone V GX devices with matching logic counts and package types, such as the 5CGXFC3B7U15C8N. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and electrical specifications before swapping components.
