• Provides extensive programmable logic resources via Adaptive Logic Modules
• Includes dedicated embedded block memory for data buffering and storage

Applications

• Industrial automation control systems
• Medical imaging equipment signal processing
• Test and measurement instrumentation interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the component authenticity by checking the manufacturer's marking against official datasheet specifications. Confirm the specific suffix codes match the required package type and operating temperature grade. Ensure compliance with export regulations if applicable, as some Altera components may require additional documentation for international shipping.

Selection Notes

Select this model when design requirements involve moderate logic density combined with serial communication capabilities. The Cyclone V GX series is suitable for applications needing multiple gigabit transceivers without the complexity of Stratix devices. Consider the 484-ball BGA footprint for PCB layout constraints and thermal management requirements during the initial hardware design phase.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Intel (formerly Altera) Cyclone V GX family, which targets cost-sensitive applications requiring Gigabit Transceiver functionality. It sits below the Stratix V series in terms of performance but offers higher transceiver density than the standard Cyclone V E or GT variants. The part number indicates a specific speed grade and package configuration within the broader 5CGXC4 product line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements are not publicly documented for this specific speed grade and package combination. Designers should evaluate other Cyclone V GX parts with identical FBGA-484 footprints, such as different speed grades within the same family, while verifying logic and memory resource sufficiency.
