5CGXFC9E6F35C7N

Overview

The Altera 5CGXFC9E6F35C7N is a Cyclone V GX Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) featuring 301,000 logic elements and 12 integrated low-power serial transceivers. It utilizes a FineLine BGA package with 1,152 pins and supports an industrial operating temperature range of -40°C to 100°C. The device operates at the 3.125 Gbps transceiver speed grade and includes hard IP blocks for PCIe Gen1/Gen2 and memory controllers.

Feature Summary

• Integrates 12 high-speed serial transceivers supporting up to 3.125 Gbps data rates
• Includes hard IP blocks for PCI Express Gen1 and Gen2 protocols
• Features variable-precision DSP blocks and embedded M10K memory blocks

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring high I/O density
• Wireless and wireline infrastructure equipment
• Automotive electronics applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Intel documentation to confirm package type, speed grade, and temperature rating. Ensure compatibility with the Quartus Prime software version required for the target device family. Confirm lead-free packaging status if RoHS compliance is mandatory for the assembly process.

Selection Notes

Select this variant when high-density I/O and multiple serial links are required within the Cyclone V GX architecture. Compare resource utilization against smaller C7 or larger GT variants to optimize cost. Verify that the 1,152-pin FBGA footprint fits the board layout constraints and thermal requirements.

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 series, offering a balance of logic resources and serial connectivity for general-purpose high-bandwidth designs.

Replacement Considerations

Check for updated Intel part numbers with revised suffixes indicating minor manufacturing changes. Consider Cyclone V SX devices if an integrated processor system is needed instead of pure FPGA fabric.
