5SGXEA5N2F45I2LG

Overview

The Altera 5SGXEA5N2F45I2LG is a Stratix V GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designed for high-performance digital signal processing and communication applications. 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 integrates 48 transceivers capable of data rates up to 14.1 Gb/s. Operating at a core voltage of 850 mV, it is housed in a 1932-pin FCBGA package suitable for surface mount technology.

Feature Summary

• Integrates 48 high-speed serial transceivers supporting advanced serialization/deserialization protocols
• Provides extensive embedded memory resources for complex buffering and storage requirements
• Features a dense programmable logic fabric with adaptive logic modules for efficient resource utilization

Applications

• High-speed telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Digital signal processing systems requiring multi-gigabit throughput
• Industrial automation controllers with complex I/O interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I2LG' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm industrial temperature range and lead-free compliance. Cross-reference the full part number with current datasheets to ensure availability status, as older Stratix V variants may have limited supply or end-of-life implications. Confirm pinout compatibility before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when design requirements demand high-density logic combined with significant serial connectivity. The 14.1 Gb/s transceiver capability makes it suitable for backplane and board-to-board links. Ensure thermal management solutions accommodate the power dissipation of the 1932-pin BGA package under maximum load conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which emphasizes high-speed serial connectivity over general-purpose logic density compared to the GT series. It utilizes Intel's 40nm process technology. The 5SGXEA5 designation indicates the specific logic density tier within the GX lineup, targeting mid-range performance needs in networking and storage markets.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements are limited due to the discontinued status of the Stratix V family. Consider Intel Agilex 5 or Agilex 7 series for modern equivalents, though pinouts and software tools will require migration. No direct pin-compatible substitutes exist in the market.
