5CGXFC4F6M11C6N

Overview

The Altera 5CGXFC4F6M11C6N is a Cyclone V GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designed for high-performance digital logic applications. It features 50,000 Logic Elements and 18,860 Adaptive Logic Modules within its architecture. The device integrates 2.92 Mbit of embedded memory, including 424 kbit of embedded block RAM. It supports up to 129 I/O pins and includes four transceivers capable of data rates up to 3.125 Gb/s. Operating at a maximum frequency of 925 MHz, the chip functions on a 1.1 V supply voltage. It is housed in a 301-pin MBGA package suitable for surface mount technology.

Feature Summary

• Integrates four high-speed serial transceivers supporting data transmission rates up to 3.125 Gb/s for complex communication protocols.
• Provides substantial programmable logic capacity with 50,000 Logic Elements and 18,860 Adaptive Logic Modules for scalable design implementation.
• Includes dedicated embedded block RAM totaling 424 kbit alongside total embedded memory of 2.92 Mbit for efficient data buffering.

Applications

• High-speed serial communication interface implementations
• Digital signal processing systems requiring moderate logic density
• Industrial control equipment utilizing embedded memory for state management

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C6N' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm the commercial temperature grade and lead time classification. Ensure compatibility with the required 301-pin MBGA footprint during PCB layout. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current manufacturer declarations before finalizing component selection for regulated environments.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designs require four Gigabit Transceivers combined with approximately 50k Logic Elements. Compare against the 5CGXFC4F6M11C7N variant if industrial temperature range operation is necessary instead of commercial grade. Evaluate power consumption profiles against the 1.1 V core voltage requirements and ensure sufficient thermal dissipation for the MBGA package.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cyclone V GX family, which distinguishes itself from other Cyclone V variants by integrating hard processor system options or high-speed transceivers. The 'FC4' designation indicates the specific logic density tier within the GX series. It serves as a mid-range solution for applications needing serial connectivity without the complexity of Stratix devices.

Replacement Considerations

The 5CGXFC4F6M11C7N is a verified alternative offering identical electrical specifications but with an extended industrial temperature range. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and re-verify thermal constraints when substituting between commercial and industrial grade variants within the same package.
