5SGSMD4E3H29I4N

Overview

The Altera 5SGSMD4E3H29I4N is a Stratix V GS Field Programmable Gate Array featuring 360,000 logic elements and 135,840 adaptive logic modules. It integrates 19.46 Mbit of embedded memory and supports up to 360 I/Os. The device includes twelve transceivers capable of 14.1 Gb/s data rates. Operating at a core voltage of 0.82V to 0.88V, it functions within a junction temperature range of -40°C to 100°C. The component is housed in a 780-ball HBGA package.

Feature Summary

• Stratix V GS architecture optimized for high-density logic applications
• Integrated hard transceivers supporting high-speed serial interfaces
• Significant embedded memory capacity for complex data processing

Applications

• High-performance telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Industrial automation and control systems requiring deterministic logic
• Medical imaging system signal processing units
• Test and measurement instrumentation platforms

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm exact speed grades and temperature ranges. Confirm current lifecycle status as some Stratix V variants may be discontinued or subject to last-time-buy notices. Ensure compatibility with Quartus Prime software versions supporting this legacy family before procurement planning.

Selection Notes

Select this model when high logic density and moderate I/O counts are required within a compact BGA footprint. Compare total embedded memory requirements against alternative densities in the Stratix V GS series. Validate that the 780-ball package thermal and mechanical constraints align with the target PCB design capabilities.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GS family, designed for general-purpose high-performance applications. It sits between lower-density Cyclone devices and ultra-high-end Stratix V families, offering a balance of performance and cost for mid-range FPGA implementations.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed direct substitutes are not available due to the proprietary nature of the Stratix architecture. Migration typically requires redesigning the board layout and updating the hardware description language code for compatible Intel FPGA families such as Agilex or Stratix 10.
