5CGXFC7D6F31I7

Overview

The Altera 5CGXFC7D6F31I7 is a high-performance Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) belonging to the Stratix V GX family. It features a dense logic architecture with 680,000 logic elements and extensive embedded memory resources, including up to 24.9 Mbits of on-chip memory. The device integrates high-speed transceivers supporting data rates up to 12.5 Gbps for serial communication applications. Operating at a typical supply voltage of 1.0V for core logic and 1.5V for I/O, it utilizes a fine-pitch ball grid array package to accommodate complex system designs requiring significant parallel processing capabilities and low power consumption relative to performance density.

Feature Summary

• Integrates high-speed Gigabit Ethernet and PCIe interfaces via embedded transceivers
• Supports advanced digital signal processing through dedicated DSP blocks
• Offers flexible configuration options with non-volatile memory support

Applications

• High-speed networking equipment and packet processing systems
• Industrial automation and control systems requiring real-time processing
• Medical imaging devices and diagnostic equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm temperature range and packaging details. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts regarding pin assignments and power delivery requirements before procurement. Cross-reference part numbers with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components.

Selection Notes

Evaluate the required logic density and memory bandwidth against the 680K LE capacity and 24.9 Mbit memory limits. Consider the number of high-speed serial lanes needed for interface connectivity. Assess thermal management solutions given the power consumption characteristics of the Stratix V architecture under full load conditions.

Part Context

This component is part of the Stratix V family, designed for mid-to-high-end applications balancing performance and cost. It succeeds earlier generations by offering improved transceiver speeds and higher logic density within similar form factors, targeting markets demanding robust FPGA capabilities without moving to the highest-tier Stratix IV or V GT series.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Stratix V variants with comparable logic counts such as the 5CGXFC7D6F31C7 for commercial temperature ranges. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility when considering upgrades within the same family to minimize redesign efforts.
