5CGXFC5F6M11C6N

Overview

The Altera 5CGXFC5F6M11C6N is a Cyclone V GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designed for high-performance digital logic applications. It features 77,000 Logic Elements and 29,080 Adaptive Logic Modules within its architecture. The device integrates 5.00 Mbit of embedded memory, including 480 kbit of Embedded Block RAM. It supports up to 240 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 and is housed in a 484-pin FBGA package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates four high-speed serial transceivers supporting Gigabit Ethernet and other serial protocols
• Provides extensive programmable logic resources via Adaptive Logic Modules for complex design implementation
• Includes substantial embedded memory blocks for data buffering and storage requirements
• Supports standard surface-mount installation for PCB integration

Applications

• High-speed serial communication interfaces
• Digital signal processing systems
• Industrial control equipment
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C6' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm the exact temperature grade and commercial qualification status. Ensure compatibility with the required 484-ball FBGA footprint during procurement planning. Confirm RoHS compliance details directly from the datasheet before finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designs require moderate logic density combined with serial connectivity capabilities. Compare total logic element counts and transceiver speeds against alternative Cyclone V variants to ensure optimal resource utilization. Evaluate the 484-pin package constraints against available board space and routing complexity.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cyclone V GX family, which emphasizes general-purpose logic alongside serial transceiver functionality. It sits below higher-density Stratix devices in performance hierarchy while offering greater capacity than lower-end Cyclone IV or LP series chips. The GX designation specifically indicates the inclusion of serial transceivers for high-speed data transmission tasks.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package are limited. Consider the 5CGXFC5F6M11C7N if an industrial temperature range is required instead of commercial. Verify that any substitute maintains the same 484-FBGA form factor and transceiver count.
