5CGXBC4C6F27C7N

Overview

The Altera 5CGXBC4C6F27C7N is a Cyclone V GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) housed in a 672-FBGA package measuring 27x27 mm. It features 50,000 logic elements and 18,868 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs). The device includes 2,862,080 total RAM bits with 424 kbit of embedded block RAM. It supports 336 I/Os and operates on a 1.07V to 1.13V supply voltage within a junction temperature range of 0°C to 85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates high-speed transceivers for serial communication applications
• Provides dense embedded memory resources for data buffering and processing
• Supports complex digital logic implementation via adaptive logic modules

Applications

• IEEE 802.15.4g MR-OFDM baseband modem implementations for smart metering utility networks
• Industrial control systems requiring robust programmable logic
• Signal processing and protocol conversion tasks in electronic systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Intel/Altera documentation to ensure correct package and temperature grade. Confirm that the component status remains active as manufacturing schedules may change. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor catalogs to avoid counterfeit components during acquisition.

Selection Notes

Select this model when designing systems requiring the specific capacity of 50,000 logic elements and 336 I/Os within a 672-ball BGA footprint. Ensure the design fits within the 2.8 Mbit memory constraint. Compare against other Cyclone V GX variants if higher transceiver counts or different pin configurations are required for the target application.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Cyclone V GX family, which targets cost-sensitive applications needing moderate performance and high I/O density. It shares architectural similarities with other 5CGXC4 devices but differs in packaging and specific feature sets compared to the broader Cyclone V portfolio including E and GT series.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 5CGXC4 series devices such as 5CGXFC4C6F27C7N, provided the pinout and electrical characteristics match the original design requirements without modification.
