5SGSMD5K2F40C2LN

Overview

The Altera 5SGSMD5K2F40C2LN is a Stratix V GS Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) manufactured by Intel. It features 457,000 logic elements and 172,600 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs). The device includes 39 Mbit of embedded memory and supports 696 I/Os. It operates with a core voltage of 850 mV and supports data rates up to 14.1 Gb/s via 36 transceivers. Packaged in a 1517-ball FBGA, it functions within an industrial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Feature Summary

• Stratix V GS architecture optimized for bandwidth-centric applications
• Integrated hard IP blocks for protocol acceleration
• High-speed serial transceivers supporting PCIe Gen3

Applications

• PCI Express Gen3 interface implementations
• Data-intensive processing systems
• Communication infrastructure equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to limited availability. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) prior to PCB assembly. Ensure storage conditions meet J-STD-033 standards to prevent damage before reflow soldering.

Selection Notes

Select this model for designs requiring high-density logic with moderate I/O counts. Compare against the 5SGSMD5K1 variant for reduced resource requirements or the 5SGSMD5K2F40I3LG for extended temperature ranges. Validate pin compatibility with existing 1517-FBGA footprints during schematic capture.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GS family, targeting cost-sensitive high-performance applications. It shares the 1517-FBGA package form factor with other devices in the series but differs in logic density and memory capacity. It serves as a bridge between lower-end Cyclone devices and higher-end Stratix V GX/GX families.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Engineering change notices (PCNs) indicate label changes but do not list direct cross-references. Verify functional equivalence with specific Intel application notes before substitution.
