5SGSED8K3F40I4G

Overview

The Altera 5SGSED8K3F40I4G is a Stratix V GS Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designed for high-performance embedded applications. It features 695,000 logic elements and 262,400 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs), supported by 512 Mbits of embedded memory. The device includes 696 I/Os and operates within a supply voltage range of 0.82V to 0.88V. Packaged in a 1517-ball FCBGA, it supports data rates up to 14.1 Gb/s with 36 transceivers. The component functions reliably across an operating temperature range of -40°C to 100°C TJ.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I4G' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm the commercial temperature grade and package variant. Ensure compatibility with the Quartus Prime software version required for Stratix V GS devices. Check for moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) handling requirements during storage and assembly to prevent damage.

Selection Notes

Select this model when high logic density and significant embedded memory are required alongside moderate I/O counts. Compare against the 5SGSMD series if higher performance or different packaging is needed. Verify that the 1517-ball FCBGA footprint fits the target PCB design constraints and thermal management capabilities.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix V GS family, which targets cost-sensitive yet high-performance markets. It shares architectural similarities with other Stratix V devices but offers optimized resource utilization. The 'GS' designation indicates specific manufacturing optimizations for volume production environments.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the same package are limited. Consider the 5SGSMD8K3F40I4G for functional equivalence with potential performance differences. Upgrading to Agilex or Stratix 10 families requires redesigning the board layout and updating firmware due to architectural changes.
