5SGSED6K3F40C3N

Overview

The Altera 5SGSED6K3F40C3N is a Stratix V GS Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) featuring 583,000 logic elements and 220,000 Adaptive Logic Modules. It integrates 45 Mbit of embedded memory within a 1517-ball FCBGA package. The device supports high-speed data rates up to 14.1 Gb/s via its transceiver resources and operates at a core voltage of approximately 0.87V to 0.93V. Designed for industrial or commercial environments depending on the suffix, it provides 696 I/Os for complex system integration.

Feature Summary

• Stratix V GS architecture with 583,000 LEs and 220,000 ALMs
• 45 Mbit embedded memory capacity
• Supports data rates up to 14.1 Gb/s
• 1517-ball FCBGA package with 696 I/Os

Applications

• High-performance digital signal processing
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Industrial automation control systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific temperature grade associated with the 'C3' suffix against official Altera documentation, as standard commercial variants typically use 'C2'. Confirm current availability status, as Stratix V devices may be subject to end-of-life notices or limited production runs. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the 1517 FBGA package.

Selection Notes

Select this component when requiring the specific logic density of 583,000 LEs within the Stratix V GS family. Compare against the 5SGSED6K3F40C2G variant if a commercial temperature range (0°C to 85°C) suffices instead of the extended range implied by the C3 suffix. Validate that the 1517-pin count meets board space constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix V GS series, which targets cost-sensitive applications requiring high performance. It shares architectural similarities with other 5SGSED6K devices but differs in packaging and temperature specifications. The 'GS' designation indicates the General Speed grade within the Stratix V portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include the 5SGSED6K3F40C2G for commercial temperature operation. For pin-compatible alternatives with different speed grades, consult the Stratix V family cross-reference guide. No direct drop-in substitutes exist outside the 5SGSED6K family without redesign.
