5CGXFC7B7M15C8N

Overview

The Altera 5CGXFC7B7M15C8N is a Cyclone V GX Field Programmable Gate Array featuring 150,000 logic elements and 56,480 Adaptive Logic Modules. It integrates 7.7 Mbit of embedded memory, including 836 kbit of embedded block RAM, and supports up to 240 I/O pins. The device includes three transceivers capable of data rates up to 3.125 Gb/s and operates at a maximum frequency of 925 MHz. It functions within a voltage range of 1.1 V and an operating temperature range of 0°C to +85°C. The component is housed in a 484-pin MBGA package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates high-speed serial transceivers for reliable data communication
• Provides scalable logic density with adaptive logic modules
• Includes substantial on-chip memory resources for data buffering

Applications

• Industrial automation control systems
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix C8N against official manufacturer documentation to confirm the commercial temperature grade and package variant. Ensure compliance with export control classifications, specifically ECCN 3A991, prior to acquisition. Confirm that the required IBIS models are available for signal integrity analysis during the design phase.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of moderate logic capacity and serial connectivity is required. The three-transceiver configuration suits applications needing limited high-speed links rather than extensive parallel interfaces. Verify that the 484-pin MBGA footprint aligns with existing board space constraints and thermal management capabilities.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Cyclone V GX family, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring Gigabit Ethernet or serial connectivity. It serves as a bridge between low-end CPLDs and higher-density Stratix devices, offering a compact solution for embedded processing tasks.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements are not publicly documented for this specific suffix. Consider migrating to Agilex 5 E-Series devices for improved performance-per-watt ratios, though significant redesign efforts will be necessary due to architectural differences.
