5CGXFC3B6F23C6N

Overview

The Altera 5CGXFC3B6F23C6N is a Cyclone V GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designed for high-performance embedded applications. It features 31,500 logic elements and 11,900 Adaptive Logic Modules within a 484-pin FineLine BGA package. The device integrates 1.38 Mbit of embedded memory and includes three Gigabit Transceivers capable of data rates up to 3.125 Gb/s. Operating at a maximum frequency of 925 MHz with a supply voltage of 1.1 V, it supports industrial temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates three Gigabit Transceivers supporting serial data transmission up to 3.125 Gb/s for high-speed interface connectivity.
• Provides 31,500 logic elements and 1.38 Mbit of embedded memory for complex digital logic implementation.
• Supports operation across an extended industrial temperature range suitable for demanding environmental conditions.

Applications

• Industrial automation and control systems requiring robust programmable logic.
• High-speed communication interfaces utilizing Gigabit Transceiver capabilities.
• Embedded processing solutions needing flexible field-programmable architecture.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C6' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm the exact speed grade and commercial temperature rating. Ensure compliance with export control classifications, specifically ECCN 3A991.d, prior to acquisition. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling requirements during storage and assembly processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a balance of moderate logic density and high-speed serial connectivity is required within the Cyclone V family. Compare against the 5CGXFC3B6F23C7N variant if an extended industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) is necessary instead of the commercial range. Evaluate pin count compatibility with the 484-FBGA footprint during PCB layout planning.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cyclone V GX series, which distinguishes itself by including dedicated Gigabit Transceivers unlike the standard Cyclone V E or GX variants without transceivers. It sits below higher-density devices like the Arria V or Stratix V in terms of logic capacity but offers a cost-effective solution for mid-range performance needs.

Replacement Considerations

The 5CGXFC3B6F23C7N serves as a direct functional substitute with identical logic and I/O resources but operates in an extended industrial temperature range. Verify pinout compatibility between the C6 and C7 speed grades before replacement.
