5CGXBC9E6F31C7N

Overview

The Altera 5CGXBC9E6F31C7N is a Cyclone V GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designed for high-performance digital logic applications. It features 301,000 Logic Elements and 113,560 Adaptive Logic Modules within an 896-ball FineLine BGA package. The device includes 480 I/Os, 14.2 Mbits of embedded memory, and nine transceivers supporting data rates up to 6.6 Gb/s. Operating at a core voltage of 1.1V, it supports industrial temperature ranges from -40°C to 100°C TJ.

Feature Summary

• High-density programmable logic architecture with extensive embedded memory resources
• Integrated high-speed serial transceivers for complex communication interfaces
• Robust I/O flexibility supporting multiple voltage standards and signaling types

Applications

• Industrial automation and control systems requiring deterministic processing
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment and baseband processing
• Medical imaging system signal processing and data acquisition

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm temperature grade and packaging variations. Confirm end-of-life status or obsolescence notices prior to design finalization. Ensure compatibility with current Quartus Prime software versions for compilation and programming support.

Selection Notes

Compare resource utilization against project requirements to ensure sufficient logic and memory headroom. Evaluate power consumption profiles under maximum switching activity conditions. Verify pinout compatibility with existing board layouts if migrating from previous device generations.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Cyclone V GX family, which targets cost-sensitive yet performance-demanding applications. It bridges the gap between lower-end Cyclone IV devices and higher-end Arria V FPGAs, offering a balance of density and power efficiency for mid-range designs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements may include other 5CGXFC9 variants with different temperature grades or package options. Consider migration paths to Agilex families for long-term supply assurance, noting architectural differences in configuration and IP compatibility.
