It features 490,000 logic elements and 185,000 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs). The device includes 37 Mbit of embedded memory and supports up to 840 I/Os. It operates with a core voltage of 850 mV and supports data rates up to 14.1 Gb/s via its transceivers. The component is housed in a 1932-ball FBGA package suitable for surface mount technology.

Feature Summary

• High-density programmable logic architecture utilizing Adaptive Logic Modules for efficient resource utilization.
• Integrated high-speed serial transceivers supporting multi-gigabit data transmission rates.
• Extensive I/O capabilities with support for multiple standard voltage levels.

Applications

• High-speed networking equipment requiring significant parallel processing.
• Industrial automation systems needing robust real-time control logic.
• Test and measurement instruments demanding precise signal processing.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I2G' against official Altera documentation to confirm temperature range and humidity sensitivity class. Confirm end-of-life status or obsolescence notices prior to design finalization. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the 1932-FBGA package. Check for moisture sensitivity level requirements during storage and handling procedures.

Selection Notes

Compare logic density and transceiver counts against alternative Stratix V models if higher performance is required. Evaluate power consumption profiles relative to available cooling solutions. Consider the availability of Quartus Prime software support for the specific device family. Assess pinout compatibility if migrating from previous generation FPGA designs.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets high-speed serial communication applications. The 'GX' designation indicates the presence of high-speed transceivers optimized for serial protocols. The part number structure follows Altera's convention for identifying logic size, package type, and commercial/industrial grade specifications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include the 5SGXEA5N2F45I2G, which shares similar I/O counts and package dimensions but may differ in logic density or manufacturing revision. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and electrical specifications before substitution.
