5SGXEA5K2F40I2LG

Overview

The Altera 5SGXEA5K2F40I2LG is a Stratix V GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designed for high-performance digital signal processing and networking applications. It features 490,000 logic elements, 185,000 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs), and 36 transceivers capable of data rates up to 14.1 Gb/s. The device includes 46 Mbits of embedded memory and offers 696 I/Os within a 1517-ball FCBGA package. Operating at a core voltage of 0.87V to 0.93V, it supports an industrial temperature range from -40°C to 100°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates 36 high-speed transceivers supporting serial data transmission up to 14.1 Gb/s for advanced interconnect requirements.
• Provides extensive programmable logic resources with 490,000 logic elements and 185,000 ALMs for complex algorithm implementation.
• Includes substantial on-chip memory capacity totaling 46 Mbits to support buffering and data storage needs.

Applications

• High-speed telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Enterprise switching and routing systems
• Digital media processing and video transport

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to potential availability constraints. Confirm RoHS compliance and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) prior to PCB assembly. Ensure proper handling procedures are followed to prevent electrostatic discharge damage during installation and storage.

Selection Notes

Select this model when high-density logic combined with significant transceiver count is required. Compare against the 5SGXEA5K1 variant if lower logic density suffices. Verify that the 1517-ball package footprint aligns with existing board layout constraints and thermal management capabilities.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets demanding communication and computing markets. It sits between lower-density models like the 5SGXEA4K and higher-capacity variants in the same series. The 'GX' designation indicates optimized high-speed serial connectivity features.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the same package are limited. Consider the 5SGXEA5K1F40I2G for similar functionality with potentially different electrical characteristics or availability status. Evaluate migration paths to newer Intel Agilex families for long-term supply assurance.
