5CGXFC5C6F27C7N

Overview

The Altera 5CGXFC5C6F27C7N is a Cyclone V GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC designed for embedded logic applications. It features 77,000 logic elements and 29,080 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs). The device includes 5,001,216 total RAM bits for data storage and processing. It supports 336 input/output pins and operates within a supply voltage range of 1.07V to 1.13V. The component is housed in a 672-BGA package with dimensions of 27x27 mm. It functions at a maximum operating frequency of 800 MHz and supports data rates up to 3.125 Gb/s. The operational temperature range extends from 0°C to 85°C (TJ).

Feature Summary

• Integrates high-density programmable logic with significant embedded memory capacity for complex algorithmic execution.
• Supports high-speed serial data transmission through integrated transceiver capabilities.
• Utilizes a surface-mount BGA package suitable for dense PCB layouts.

Applications

• Image processing systems utilizing dedicated development boards.
• High-speed signal processing interfaces requiring multi-gigabit data rates.
• Protocol conversion hardware in communication infrastructure.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm package type and temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with Quartus Prime software versions supporting the Cyclone V GX family. Confirm that the 672-FBGA footprint matches the target PCB design constraints before ordering.

Selection Notes

Select this model when the application requires approximately 77k logic elements and substantial on-chip memory. Compare against the 5CGXBC5 variant if different internal memory configurations are needed while maintaining similar I/O counts. Validate that the 800 MHz performance meets the system timing requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Cyclone V GX series, which targets cost-sensitive yet performance-demanding embedded markets. It sits below the Stratix and Arria families in terms of raw performance but offers optimized power consumption. The GX designation indicates the inclusion of high-speed transceivers for serial communications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other variants within the 5CGXC7 family, such as 5CGXFC5C6F27C6N, differing primarily in temperature or packaging grades. Cross-family migration to Cyclone 10 GX requires retargeting and pinout analysis.
