5SGXEA3H3F35I4N

Overview

The Altera 5SGXEA3H3F35I4N is a Stratix V GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designed for high-performance digital signal processing and networking applications. It features 340,000 logic elements and 128,300 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs). The device includes 19 Mbit of embedded memory and supports up to 432 I/Os. It integrates 24 transceivers capable of data rates up to 14.1 Gb/s. Operating at a core voltage of 900 mV, it functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The component is housed in an FBGA-1152 package.

Feature Summary

• Stratix V GX architecture with high-density logic fabric
• Integrated high-speed serial transceivers for complex interconnects
• Support for advanced DSP algorithms via dedicated hardware resources

Applications

• High-speed telecommunications infrastructure
• Data center acceleration and network switching
• Industrial automation control systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I4N' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm industrial temperature rating and package variant. Check current lifecycle status as many Stratix V devices are discontinued or have limited availability. Ensure compatibility with legacy Quartus Prime software versions if integrating into existing design flows.

Selection Notes

Compare total logic capacity and transceiver count against project requirements. Evaluate power consumption profiles relative to cooling constraints. Confirm that the 1152-ball FBGA package fits the PCB layout. Verify support for required memory interfaces and I/O standards within the specified operating temperature range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix V GX family, optimized for general-purpose high-performance applications requiring significant logic density and serial connectivity. It sits between the GS (General Storage) and GT (Graphics/Transceiver) variants in terms of feature set, balancing logic resources with high-speed interface capabilities for robust system integration.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements may not exist due to architectural differences. Consider Intel Agilex series for modern equivalents, though pinouts and toolchains will differ significantly. Legacy substitutes within the Stratix IV or Arria V families require substantial redesign.
