5SGSED8K3F40C4G

Overview

The Altera 5SGSED8K3F40C4G is a Stratix V GS Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designed for high-performance digital logic applications. It features 695,000 logic elements and 262,400 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs), supported by 26,240 LABs. The device integrates approximately 50 Mbits of embedded memory and includes 36 transceivers capable of data rates up to 14.1 Gb/s. It operates with a core voltage range of 0.82V to 0.88V and supports 696 I/O pins within a 1517-ball FCBGA package.

Feature Summary

• Stratix V GS architecture providing 695,000 LEs and 262,400 ALMs
• Integrated 36 high-speed transceivers supporting up to 14.1 Gb/s
• Approximately 50 Mbits of embedded memory capacity
• 1517-ball FCBGA package with 696 available I/O connections

Applications

• High-speed serial communication systems
• Complex digital signal processing implementations
• Network infrastructure equipment
• Industrial control systems requiring high I/O density

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C4G' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm temperature grade and packaging details. Ensure compatibility with Quartus Prime software versions supporting the Stratix V family. Check for RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) requirements during storage and handling.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a balance of moderate logic density and high-speed serial connectivity is required. Compare total embedded memory needs against the ~50 Mbit limit. Verify that the 1517-FBGA footprint fits the target PCB design constraints and that the 0.82V-0.88V core voltage supply rails are achievable.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix V GS series, which targets cost-sensitive applications compared to the GX or GT variants. It shares the same silicon architecture but may differ in transceiver count or speed grades. The '5SGS' prefix identifies it as a Stratix V GS device manufactured by Altera (now Intel).

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the Stratix V family include 5SGXEA5K1F40C2L or 5SGSED8K3F40C2L, though functional verification is required due to potential differences in transceiver availability or speed grades.
