5CGXFC7C6F23C6N

Overview

The Altera 5CGXFC7C6F23C6N is a Cyclone V GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) housed in a 484-ball FBGA package. It features 150,000 logic elements and 56,480 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs). The device includes 7.7 Mbits of embedded memory, comprising 836 kbits of Embedded Block RAM (EBR), and supports up to 240 I/Os. It integrates six transceivers capable of data rates up to 3.125 Gb/s. Operating at a maximum frequency of 925 MHz, it functions within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +85°C using a 1.1V supply voltage.

Feature Summary

• Integrates six high-speed serial transceivers for parallel-to-serial conversion and clock recovery.
• Provides extensive programmable logic resources through Adaptive Logic Modules and embedded memory blocks.
• Supports flexible I/O configurations with multiple standard voltage levels across 240 pins.

Applications

• High-speed serial communication interfaces
• Industrial automation control systems
• Test and measurement equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C6' confirms the commercial temperature grade and package variant against official Intel/Altera documentation before procurement. Ensure compatibility with Quartus Prime software versions supporting the Cyclone V GX family. Confirm RoHS compliance status via the manufacturer's current datasheet revision.

Selection Notes

Select this component when requiring moderate logic density with integrated high-speed serial connectivity. Compare total embedded memory requirements against the 7.7 Mbit capacity. Evaluate thermal management needs for the 484-FBGA package under maximum operating conditions. Consider pin count availability for system interface requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cyclone V GX series, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring Gigabit Transceiver capabilities. It sits between the standard Cyclone V and the higher-performance Arria V families. The 'FC7' designation indicates the specific logic density tier within the GX product line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional replacements within the same package and pinout are limited. Upgrades may require re-evaluation of logic resource usage and memory depth. Consult official cross-reference guides for pin-compatible alternatives with enhanced performance metrics.
