It provides 432 I/Os and integrates 36 transceivers capable of data rates up to 14.1 Gb/s. The device operates at a core voltage of 850 mV, with a minimum of 850 mV and maximum of 850 mV. It supports an operating temperature range from 0°C to +70°C. Total embedded memory amounts to 41.84 Mbit, including 37 Mbit of dedicated block RAM. The component is housed in a 1152-ball FBGA package.

Feature Summary

• Stratix V GX architecture optimized for high-speed serial communications
• Integrated 36 high-performance transceivers supporting multi-standard protocols
• High-density logic resources with 1900 ALMs for complex digital designs

Applications

• High-speed networking equipment requiring multi-gigabit serial interfaces
• Telecommunications infrastructure utilizing Stratix V GX transceiver capabilities
• Industrial control systems needing robust FPGA logic within commercial temperature ranges

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix 'C2L' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm the specific commercial temperature grade and package variant. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with current lifecycle status, as availability may be limited or discontinued. Ensure compatibility with required design tools and verify moisture sensitivity levels before handling.

Selection Notes

Select this model when designing systems requiring 14.1 Gb/s transceivers and approximately 420,000 logic elements. Compare total memory requirements against the 41.84 Mbit capacity. Consider the 0°C to +70°C operating range suitability for the target environment. Evaluate pin count and package dimensions against PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, designed primarily for applications demanding high-speed serial connectivity. It shares the 1152-pin FBGA footprint with other variants in the series but differs in logic density and memory configuration. The 'GX' designation indicates its focus on transceiver-intensive architectures compared to GT or GS counterparts.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the Stratix V GX lineup with matching pin counts. Verify if higher-density models like the 5SGXEA4K or 5SGXEA5K offer functional compatibility. Confirm that any replacement maintains the same package type and electrical specifications.
