5CGXBC5C7F27C8N

Overview

The Altera 5CGXBC5C7F27C8N is a Cyclone V GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designed for high-performance digital logic applications. It features 48,000 Logic Elements and supports up to 196 I/O pins within a 484-pin FBGA package. The device integrates 3,072 Kbits of embedded memory and includes dedicated DSP blocks for arithmetic operations. Operating at a supply voltage range of 1.07V to 1.13V, it functions reliably across a junction temperature range of 0°C to 85°C. This component belongs to the Cyclone V GX series, offering a balance of capacity and power efficiency for embedded systems.

Feature Summary

• Integrates dedicated DSP blocks for efficient signal processing tasks
• Supports high-speed serial transceivers for communication interfaces
• Features embedded memory blocks for data storage and buffering

Applications

• Industrial automation control systems
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Medical imaging signal processing units

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision level and manufacturing date code against current Intel/Altera product availability notices. Confirm that the 484-pin FBGA footprint matches the target PCB design constraints. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and check for any recent packaging label changes documented in Product Change Notices.

Selection Notes

Select this model when the design requires approximately 48K logic elements and moderate I/O density. Compare against the 5CGXFC5 variant if higher I/O counts are needed. Evaluate power consumption estimates against the system thermal budget, as performance scales with clock frequency and logic utilization.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cyclone V GX family, which targets cost-sensitive yet performance-demanding applications. It shares architectural similarities with other Cyclone V devices but distinguishes itself through integrated Gigabit Transceivers. The numbering convention indicates the logic size, package type, and speed grade within the broader Altera portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the same package and logic density may include other 5CGXBC5 variants with different speed grades or temperature ranges. Verify electrical compatibility before substituting.
