5SGXEA5N3F40C3G

Overview

The Altera 5SGXEA5N3F40C3G is a Stratix V GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designed for high-density applications. It features 490,000 logic elements and 185,000 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs). The device includes 37 Mbit of embedded memory and supports data rates up to 14.1 Gb/s via its transceivers. It operates within a junction temperature range of 0°C to 85°C and utilizes a 1932-ball FCBGA package.

Feature Summary

• High-density programmable logic fabric with extensive embedded memory resources
• High-speed serial transceiver support for demanding interface requirements
• Reconfigurable architecture enabling hardware adaptation without physical redesign

Applications

• Data pre-processing and post-processing in AI training and inference systems
• Real-time video processing and voice recognition applications
• Industrial automation systems requiring deterministic low latency

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official datasheets to confirm package type, temperature grade, and speed grading. Ensure compatibility with current design tools and check for any product change notices regarding labeling or packaging updates before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high logic density and significant embedded memory are required alongside high-speed serial connectivity. Evaluate power consumption profiles against thermal constraints, as performance scales with logic utilization. Confirm that the 1932-ball package fits the target PCB layout and assembly capabilities.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets high-performance computing and communication infrastructure. It sits between lower-density Cyclone devices and the higher-end Stratix IV series, offering a balance of capacity and transceiver bandwidth for complex digital signal processing tasks.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Stratix V variants with similar logic counts but different I/O or memory configurations. Consider Agilex family members for future-proofing, though pinouts and software flows will differ significantly.
