5CGXFC9A6U19I7N

Overview

The Altera 5CGXFC9A6U19I7N is a Cyclone V GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) built on TSMC's 28 nm low-power process technology. It features 301,000 logic elements and 113,560 adaptive logic modules within a 484-pin Ultra FineLine BGA package. The device integrates twelve 3.125 Gbps transceivers, variable-precision DSP blocks, and hard memory controllers supporting DDR3, DDR2, and LPDDR2. Operating at an industrial temperature range of -40°C to 100°C with a core voltage of 1.1V, it provides 240 user I/Os and supports PCIe Gen1/Gen2 hard IP.

Feature Summary

• Integrates twelve high-speed serial transceivers capable of 3.125 Gbps data rates for bandwidth-intensive applications.
• Includes hard IP blocks for PCI Express Gen1 and Gen2 protocols to simplify system interface design.
• Features variable-precision digital signal processing blocks that support multiple multiplier precisions within a single block.
• Supports dynamic partial reconfiguration and Configuration via Protocol for flexible system updates.

Applications

• Industrial automation systems requiring robust programmable logic and connectivity.
• Wireless infrastructure equipment utilizing high-speed serial interfaces.
• Military and aerospace electronic systems operating in demanding environments.
• Automotive electronics benefiting from integrated hard processors and FPGA fabric.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against Intel's current Product Selector Guide to confirm package type, speed grade, and temperature rating. Ensure compliance with export control classifications such as ECCN 3A991. Confirm lead-free packaging status and RoHS compliance requirements prior to procurement to match manufacturing specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this variant when designs require up to twelve 3.125 Gbps transceivers alongside significant logic capacity. Compare resource counts against Cyclone V E or GT variants if transceiver speed or processor integration differs from project needs. Verify pin compatibility with existing board layouts due to the specific 484-pin UBGA footprint.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Cyclone V GX family, which targets cost-sensitive applications needing moderate-speed serial connectivity. It sits between the basic E series and the higher-performance GT series. The GX designation specifically indicates the inclusion of 3-Gbps transceivers rather than the 6-Gbps channels found in GT devices.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Cyclone V GX devices with matching resource levels, such as 5CGXFC9A6U19C7N or 5CGXFC9A7U19C8N. Verify package dimensions and pinout compatibility before substitution. Check for updated speed grades or temperature ranges if environmental conditions differ.
