5SEEBH40C4N

Overview

The Altera 5SEEBH40C4N is a Stratix V E variant Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) manufactured on a 28-nm process. It features 952,000 logic elements, 359,200 adaptive logic modules (ALMs), and 52 Mbits of embedded memory. The device operates at a core voltage of 0.85 V and supports up to 696 general-purpose I/Os within a 1517-ball FBGA package. Designed for high-density applications such as ASIC emulation and diagnostic imaging, it lacks integrated high-speed serial transceivers but includes Embedded HardCopy Blocks for PCIe protocol support.

Feature Summary

• High Logic Density: Contains 952K logic elements and 359.2K ALMs optimized for complex system emulation.
• Embedded Memory: Provides 52 Mbits of M20K memory blocks with hard error correction code (ECC).
• PCIe Hard IP: Includes Embedded HardCopy Blocks supporting PCIe Gen3, Gen2, and Gen1 protocols.
• Package Compatibility: Utilizes the H40-H1517 package footprint, enabling migration with other Stratix V devices.

Applications

• ASIC and system emulation
• Diagnostic imaging systems
• High-performance instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to potential availability constraints. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) prior to assembly. Ensure proper handling procedures are followed given the fine-pitch BGA packaging requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this model when maximum logic density within the Stratix V family is required without the need for high-speed serial transceivers. Compare against the 5SEE9H40 series for lower cost options if fewer logic elements suffice. Verify pin-out compatibility with existing board designs using the Quartus II Pin Planner tool.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V E family, which offers the highest logic density in the Stratix V lineup. It shares architectural similarities with GT, GX, and GS variants but focuses on pure logic capacity rather than high-speed connectivity. It serves as a bridge to HardCopy V ASIC solutions for volume production.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package include other Stratix V E devices like the 5SEEBF45I3LN or 5SEEBH40I3L, subject to specific speed grade and temperature range verification via the official migration list.
