5SGXEA3K3F40C2L

Overview

The Altera 5SGXEA3K3F40C2L is a Stratix V GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) featuring 340,000 logic elements and 128,300 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs). It includes 19 Mbit of embedded memory and supports up to 696 I/Os. The device integrates 36 transceivers capable of data rates up to 14.1 Gb/s. Operating at a core voltage of 850 mV, it functions within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. The component is housed in a 1517-ball FBGA package.

Feature Summary

• Stratix V GX architecture optimized for high-speed serial communications
• Integrated hard transceiver blocks supporting multi-gigabit data rates
• High-density programmable logic with extensive embedded memory resources

Applications

• High-speed networking equipment
• Telecommunications infrastructure
• Industrial automation control systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C2L' against official Altera documentation to confirm temperature grade and package variant accuracy. Confirm end-of-life status and availability through authorized channels, as this component may be discontinued or subject to long lead times from legacy inventory sources.

Selection Notes

Select this model when requiring a balance of moderate logic density and significant serial connectivity via 36 transceivers. Compare against the 5SGXEA3K3F40I3G if industrial temperature ratings (-40°C to 100°C) are required instead of the commercial range provided by the C2L suffix.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix V GX family, designed primarily for applications demanding high-performance serial I/O. It sits within the broader Altera portfolio alongside Stratix V GS and GT variants, distinguished by its focus on transceiver-intensive designs rather than pure logic density or low-power constraints.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed direct substitute part numbers are not available in the provided source material. Consider consulting official migration guides for Agilex or Stratix 10 families for future-proofing, though these require design adaptation.
