5SGXEA4K2F40I3LG

Overview

The Altera 5SGXEA4K2F40I3LG is a Stratix V GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designed for high-performance digital logic applications. It features 420,000 logic elements and 158,500 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs). The device includes 37 Mbit of embedded memory and supports up to 696 I/O pins. It operates within a junction temperature range of 0°C to 85°C and utilizes a 1517-ball FCBGA package. The core supply voltage ranges from 0.82V to 0.88V.

Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed serial data transmission with transceivers capable of 14.1 Gb/s rates.
• Integrates significant embedded memory resources for complex data buffering and processing tasks.
• Provides extensive I/O connectivity through a large pin count suitable for system-level integration.

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including suffixes such as I3LG against official manufacturer documentation to ensure correct temperature grade and package variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements prior to ordering. Check for end-of-life notifications or obsolescence notices directly from Intel/Altera channels before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring moderate-to-high logic density combined with substantial embedded memory. Ensure the design accommodates the specific 0.82V to 0.88V core voltage requirements. Verify that the 1517-ball FCBGA footprint matches the PCB layout constraints and thermal management capabilities of the target enclosure.

Part Context

This model belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets gigabit communications and industrial markets. It sits between lower-density Cyclone devices and higher-end Stratix V GT models. The 'GX' designation indicates optimized transceiver performance for serial communication interfaces compared to standard Stratix V variants.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements are limited due to the specific architecture of the Stratix V series. Consider Intel Agilex or Stratix 10 families for future-proofing, though these require significant design re-verification. No direct pin-compatible substitutes exist within the same generation without hardware redesign.
