5SGXEA7K1F35C2G

Overview

The Altera 5SGXEA7K1F35C2G is a Stratix V GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designed for high-performance data communication and processing applications. It features 622,000 logic elements and 234,720 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs). The device includes 50 Mbit of embedded memory and supports up to 432 I/Os. It integrates 36 transceivers capable of data rates up to 14.1 Gb/s. Operating at a core voltage of 850 mV, it functions within an ambient temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. The component is housed in a 1152-ball FBGA package.

Feature Summary

• High-density programmable logic fabric with extensive embedded memory resources
• Integrated high-speed serial transceivers supporting multi-gigabit data rates
• Support for complex digital signal processing and system integration tasks

Applications

• High-speed networking equipment and telecommunications infrastructure
• Data center interconnects and storage controllers
• Industrial automation and control systems requiring deterministic latency

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'G' against official documentation, as standard listings often use 'LN'. Confirm end-of-life status and moisture sensitivity level requirements before procurement. Ensure compatibility with legacy design tools if migrating from older FPGA families.

Selection Notes

Compare the 432 I/O count and 36 transceiver configuration against system interface requirements. Evaluate power consumption profiles at target clock frequencies. Consider thermal management solutions suitable for the FBGA-1152 package footprint and operating temperature constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets high-bandwidth applications. It shares architectural similarities with other 5SGX variants but differs in pin count and transceiver density. It serves as a successor to previous generation high-end FPGAs, offering improved performance per watt.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Stratix V GX devices with similar I/O counts, such as the 5SGXEA7H1F35C2LN or 5SGXMA7H1F35C1N, though pinouts and electrical characteristics must be verified. Agilex series devices offer modern alternatives with enhanced performance.
