5CGXFC7B6M15C7N

Overview

The Altera 5CGXFC7B6M15C7N is a Cyclone V GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designed for high-performance embedded applications. It features 150,000 logic elements and 56,480 Adaptive Logic Modules within a 484-pin MBGA package. The device integrates 7.7 Mbits of embedded memory, including 836 kbits of embedded block RAM. It supports data rates up to 3.125 Gb/s with three transceivers and operates at a maximum frequency of 925 MHz. The component functions within a supply voltage range of 1.07V to 1.13V and is rated for commercial temperature operation between 0°C and +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates three high-speed serial transceivers supporting data rates up to 3.125 Gb/s for efficient serial communication interfaces.
• Provides extensive programmable logic resources through 150,000 logic elements and 56,480 adaptive logic modules for complex digital designs.
• Includes substantial on-chip memory capacity with 7.7 Mbits total embedded memory and dedicated embedded block RAM for data buffering.

Applications

• Industrial automation control systems requiring robust programmable logic
• Telecommunications infrastructure utilizing high-speed serial links
• Embedded processing modules in consumer electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix B6 against official datasheets to confirm the commercial temperature grade and package variant. Confirm that the manufacturer designation remains valid as Intel acquired Altera's FPGA business. Ensure compliance with export regulations regarding cryptographic functionality if applicable to the final system integration.

Selection Notes

Select this model when the design requires exactly three transceivers and fits within the 150,000 logic element constraint. Compare against the 5CGXFC7B6M15C6N if industrial temperature ratings are required instead of commercial grades. Evaluate power consumption estimates based on the 1.1V core voltage and I/O configuration before finalizing the board layout.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cyclone V GX family, which targets cost-sensitive yet performance-demanding markets. The 5CGXC7 designation indicates the specific die size and resource tier within the broader Cyclone V portfolio. It shares architectural similarities with other GX variants but differs in pin count and transceiver availability compared to smaller or larger devices in the series.

Replacement Considerations

The 5CGXFC7B6M15C6N serves as a direct functional substitute with identical electrical specifications but offers an extended industrial temperature range (-40°C to +125°C). Verify pin compatibility and thermal requirements when swapping between these two variants.
