5CGXFC9D6F27C7N

Overview

The Altera 5CGXFC9D6F27C7N is a Cyclone V GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) built on TSMC's 28 nm low-power process technology. It features 301K logic elements, 113,560 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs), and 12,200 Kb of M10K embedded memory. The device integrates nine 3.125 Gbps transceivers and supports PCIe Gen1/Gen2 hard IP. Operating at a core voltage of 1.1 V, it utilizes a 672-pin FineLine BGA package with dimensions of 27x27 mm. The component operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to 85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates nine high-speed serial transceivers supporting up to 3.125 Gbps for bandwidth-intensive applications.
• Includes hard IP blocks for PCI Express Gen1 and Gen2 with multifunction support.
• Features variable-precision DSP blocks capable of native support for multiple signal processing precision levels.

Applications

• Industrial automation systems requiring high I/O density
• Wireless infrastructure baseband processing
• Wireline communication interface bridging

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against Intel documentation to confirm lead-free packaging status and exact speed grade. Ensure compatibility with the required operating temperature range and package footprint before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this variant for designs requiring significant logic capacity combined with moderate serial connectivity. Compare resource utilization against the C7 member code if fewer transceivers are sufficient. Confirm that the 672-pin FBGA footprint aligns with the target PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Cyclone V GX family, which targets cost-sensitive applications needing integrated transceivers. It sits between the E series and the higher-performance GT/SX families in terms of transceiver capabilities and logic density.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Cyclone V GX devices with compatible pinouts such as 5CGXFC7D6F27C7N or 5CGXBC9D6F27C7N, provided the logic and memory requirements are met.
