5CGXFC4F6M11I7N

Overview

The Altera 5CGXFC4F6M11I7N is a Cyclone V GX Field Programmable Gate Array housed in a 301-ball MBGA package. It provides 50,000 logic elements and 18,860 adaptive logic modules for digital design. The device integrates 2.92 Mbit of embedded memory, including 424 kbit of embedded block RAM. It features four transceivers supporting data rates up to 3.125 Gb/s. Operating at a maximum frequency of 925 MHz, it utilizes a 1.1 V supply voltage and supports an industrial temperature range from 0°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates four high-speed serial transceivers for reliable data transmission.
• Provides extensive programmable logic resources via adaptive logic modules.
• Includes substantial on-chip memory capacity for complex data buffering.
• Supports high-frequency operation within standard industrial thermal limits.

Applications

• High-speed serial communication interface implementations
• Industrial control system signal processing
• Embedded storage controller architectures

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I7N' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm industrial temperature rating and RoHS compliance status. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact pin count and package dimensions required by the target PCB layout. Cross-reference with current datasheets to validate any recent manufacturing changes or obsolescence notices before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designs require moderate logic density combined with serial connectivity capabilities. The inclusion of dedicated transceivers makes it suitable for applications needing direct serial links without external PHY chips. Evaluate the 2.92 Mbit memory allocation against buffer requirements to ensure sufficient on-chip storage for the intended algorithmic complexity.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cyclone V GX family, which distinguishes itself from other variants through the integration of Gigabit Transceiver blocks. While sharing the core architecture with standard Cyclone V devices, the GX series specifically targets applications requiring serial data interfaces. The 5CGXC4 designation indicates the specific logic resource tier within this product line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same package and pinout are limited. Consider the 5CGXFC4F6M11C7N if commercial temperature grade suffices. For higher performance needs, evaluate the 5CGXFC7B6M15C7N, though pin compatibility must be verified carefully as package variations exist across the family.
