5SGXEA5N3F45I3N

Overview

The Altera 5SGXEA5N3F45I3N is a Stratix V GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designed for high-performance digital logic applications. It features 490,000 Logic Elements and 185,000 Adaptive Logic Modules within 18,500 Logic Array Blocks. The device integrates 37 Mbit of embedded memory and supports up to 840 I/Os. It includes 48 transceivers capable of data rates up to 14.1 Gb/s. Operating at a core voltage of 900 mV, it functions within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. The component is housed in a 1932-pin FBGA package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates 48 high-speed serial transceivers supporting 14.1 Gb/s data rates for complex connectivity.
• Provides extensive programmable logic resources with nearly half a million logic elements for dense designs.
• Includes substantial on-chip embedded memory capacity to reduce external memory dependencies.

Applications

• High-speed networking equipment requiring multi-gigabit serial interfaces
• Industrial automation controllers utilizing dense programmable logic
• Test and measurement instruments needing high-bandwidth signal processing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I3N' against official Altera documentation to confirm the exact temperature grade and package variant. Confirm end-of-life status or obsolescence notices prior to design finalization. Ensure supply chain sources provide valid traceability for this discontinued component series.

Selection Notes

Compare total logic density and transceiver count against alternative Stratix V models if higher performance is required. Evaluate power consumption profiles at the 900 mV operating voltage. Assess thermal management requirements for the 1932-pin FBGA footprint during system integration.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which emphasizes high-speed serial connectivity alongside robust logic fabric. The 'GX' designation indicates optimized transceiver capabilities compared to standard Stratix V variants. It represents a generation of FPGAs focused on bandwidth-intensive applications before subsequent Agilex architectures were introduced.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed direct substitute part numbers are not available in the provided source material. Designers should consult official migration guides for next-generation FPGA families such as Agilex or Arria series for functional equivalents.
