5CGXBC7B6M15C7N

Overview

The Altera 5CGXBC7B6M15C7N is a Cyclone V GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designed for high-performance embedded applications. It features 150,000 logic elements and 56,480 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs). The device includes 7.7 Mbits of embedded memory, comprising 836 kbits of Embedded Block RAM (EBR). It supports data rates up to 3.125 Gb/s with three transceivers. Operating at a supply voltage of 1.1 V, it functions within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +85°C. The component is housed in a 484-pin MBGA package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates three high-speed serial transceivers supporting data rates up to 3.125 Gb/s for complex interconnects.
• Provides substantial programmable logic capacity through 150,000 logic elements and over 56,000 ALMs.
• Includes significant on-chip memory resources totaling 7.7 Mbits for data buffering and processing.
• Supports standard surface-mount installation in a compact 484-pin MBGA footprint.

Applications

• Industrial automation controllers requiring reliable programmable logic
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment utilizing serial transceivers
• Test and measurement instruments needing high-density I/O

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official manufacturer documentation to confirm package type and temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts regarding the 484-pin MBGA footprint. Confirm that the design environment supports the Cyclone V GX family architecture before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when the application requires moderate logic density combined with serial connectivity capabilities. Compare total embedded memory requirements against the 7.7 Mbit limit. Evaluate if the three available transceivers meet bandwidth needs or if higher-end variants are necessary.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Intel (formerly Altera) Cyclone V GX family, targeting cost-sensitive yet performance-demanding markets. It bridges the gap between lower-end Cyclone devices and high-end Stratix families, offering a balance of logic resources and serial communication interfaces.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same package and pinout may include other Cyclone V GX variants such as 5CGXFC7B6M15C7N or 5CGXBC7B7M15C8N. Verify functional equivalence and electrical specifications before substitution.
