5SGSMD5K2F40I2LG

Overview

The Altera 5SGSMD5K2F40I2LG is a Stratix V GS Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) featuring 457,000 logic elements and 172,600 Adaptive Logic Modules. It integrates 39 Mbit of embedded memory across 17,260 LABs and supports 696 I/O pins. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 0.82V to 0.88V and functions at temperatures from -40°C to 100°C TJ. Packaged in a 1517-ball FCBGA, it includes 36 transceivers capable of data rates up to 14.1 Gb/s.

Feature Summary

• Stratix V GS architecture optimized for high-performance digital signal processing and control applications
• Integrated high-speed serial transceivers supporting multi-gigabit data transmission
• Extensive embedded memory resources for complex data buffering and processing tasks

Applications

• High-speed telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Advanced industrial automation and control systems
• Medical imaging system signal processing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I2' confirms the extended industrial temperature range (-40°C to 100°C TJ). Confirm the 'LG' package variant matches the required 1517-ball FCBGA footprint. Ensure compatibility with existing Stratix V development tools and licensing models before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when requiring approximately 457k logic elements with significant embedded memory capacity. The 696 I/O count suits dense interconnect requirements. Verify that the 14.1 Gb/s transceiver speed meets interface specifications. Compare against lower-density variants if resource utilization is insufficient.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GS family, designed for cost-sensitive high-volume applications compared to the standard Stratix V series. It shares the same architectural foundation but targets specific performance-to-cost ratios. The part number indicates its position within the broader Intel FPGA portfolio hierarchy.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Stratix V GS devices with similar logic counts, such as 5SGSMD5K1F40I2LG or 5SGSMD5H2F35I2L, though pinout and I/O counts may differ. Cross-family migration to Arria 10 requires significant design adaptation.
