5SGTMC5K3F40I2N

Overview

The Altera 5SGTMC5K3F40I2N is a Stratix V GT Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designed for high-performance serial communication applications. It features 490,000 logic elements and 185,000 Adaptive Logic Modules within a 1517-ball FBGA package. The device integrates 36 transceivers capable of data rates up to 14.1 Gb/s, supporting demanding interconnect requirements. It includes approximately 50.65 Mbits of total embedded memory and operates at a core voltage of 900 mV. The component supports industrial temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates high-speed serial transceivers optimized for complex protocol implementations
• Provides extensive programmable logic resources for advanced digital signal processing
• Supports flexible power management through configurable supply voltages

Applications

• High-speed networking equipment and packet processing systems
• Telecommunications infrastructure and base station controllers
• Advanced test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm temperature range and package variations. Confirm end-of-life status with authorized distributors as availability may be limited. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and moisture sensitivity levels during handling and storage procedures.

Selection Notes

Compare this model against Stratix V GS variants if lower cost or different I/O counts are acceptable. Evaluate Arria V devices for applications requiring lower power consumption. Verify that the 1517-pin footprint matches the target PCB design constraints and thermal dissipation capabilities.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GT family, which emphasizes high-speed serial connectivity. It shares architectural similarities with other Stratix V models but distinguishes itself through its specific transceiver count and logic density configuration tailored for bandwidth-intensive tasks.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements are scarce due to the discontinued status of the Stratix V series. Consider migrating to Agilex or Stratix 10 families, though pin compatibility will require redesign.
