5SGSED6N1F45I2N

Overview

The Altera 5SGSED6N1F45I2N is a Stratix V GS Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) belonging to the low-power GS variant of the Stratix V family. It features 583,000 Logic Elements (LEs), 220,000 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs), and 45 Mbit of embedded memory organized into 22,000 Logic Array Blocks (LABs). The device supports high-speed serial transceivers and operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to +100°C. It utilizes a surface-mount package with 840 I/O pins, designed for complex digital logic applications requiring significant programmability and energy efficiency.

Feature Summary

• Stratix V GS architecture providing 583,000 LEs and 220,000 ALMs for high-density logic implementation.
• Integrated 45 Mbit embedded memory block capacity supporting data buffering and processing.
• Supports high-speed serial connectivity via integrated transceivers for communication interfaces.
• Operates at standard supply voltages with a specified junction temperature range of -40°C to +100°C.

Applications

• High-performance networking equipment requiring scalable packet processing.
• Industrial automation controllers utilizing complex programmable logic.
• Test and measurement instruments needing flexible signal processing capabilities.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'N' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm if it denotes a specific environmental rating or packaging variation, as standard datasheets often list 'C2G', 'I2LG', or 'I3LG'. Confirm moisture sensitivity level (MSL) and reflow soldering profile requirements prior to assembly. Ensure compatibility with Quartus Prime software versions supporting the Stratix V GS device family.

Selection Notes

Select this component when design requirements exceed the capacity of lower-tier Stratix devices but demand lower power consumption than the standard Stratix V SX or EX families. Evaluate the 840 I/O count against system interface needs. Compare total embedded memory requirements against the 45 Mbit limit to ensure sufficient on-chip storage without external memory dependencies.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix V GS series, which targets low-power, high-performance applications. It shares the core architecture with the broader Stratix V family but optimizes for power efficiency. The '5SGS' prefix identifies it as a Stratix V Silicon-Gate device. It is manufactured by Altera, now part of Intel FPGA.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements are limited within the same package and speed grade. Consider Stratix V GS variants with matching I/O counts (e.g., 5SGSED6N...) for functional upgrades. For architectural migration, evaluate Agilex or Arria 10 families, noting that pinouts and toolchains will differ significantly.
