5CGXBC9E6F35C7N

Overview

The Altera 5CGXBC9E6F35C7N is a Cyclone V GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designed for high-performance embedded applications. It features 28,000 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs) and supports up to 480 I/Os within an 896-pin FBGA package. The device integrates 16 Gb/s transceivers for serial connectivity and includes significant on-chip memory resources, totaling approximately 14.2 Mbits of RAM. Operating at a core voltage of 1.0V to 1.1V, it supports industrial temperature ranges and utilizes the Stratix V architecture heritage for efficient logic density.

Feature Summary

• Integrates high-speed serial transceivers supporting data rates up to 16 Gb/s for complex interconnect requirements.
• Provides substantial embedded memory capacity combining block RAM and distributed RAM for data buffering and processing.
• Features a dense logic fabric with Adaptive Logic Modules optimized for area-efficient design implementation.

Applications

• High-speed serial communication interfaces requiring multi-gigabit data throughput.
• Industrial control systems demanding robust FPGA logic and reliable memory structures.
• Test and measurement equipment utilizing high-bandwidth signal processing capabilities.

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels due to potential availability constraints. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level prior to assembly planning. Check for specific ordering suffixes that may indicate packaging variations or environmental ratings. Ensure supply chain stability as end-of-life notifications may affect long-term procurement strategies.

Selection Notes

Compare against Cyclone V GT variants if higher speed grades are required for specific transceiver applications. Evaluate Arria V series options for enhanced DSP performance or larger memory footprints in similar form factors. Consider power consumption profiles relative to system thermal constraints when selecting between different speed grades within the Cyclone V family.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Intel (formerly Altera) Cyclone V GX family, which bridges the gap between cost-effective Cyclone IV devices and high-end Stratix V solutions. The GX designation specifically highlights the inclusion of high-speed serial transceivers, making it suitable for applications needing significant serial bandwidth without the complexity of the Stratix architecture.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the same package are limited within the Cyclone V family. Verify compatibility with Cyclone V E or GT series devices if architectural differences in transceiver count or logic density can be accommodated by the PCB layout and firmware adaptation.
