5SGXEA7K2F40I2W

Overview

The Altera 5SGXEA7K2F40I2W is a Stratix V GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designed for high-performance digital signal processing and networking applications. It features 622,000 logic elements, 234,720 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs), and 23,472 Logic Array Blocks (LABs). The device integrates 50 Mbit of embedded memory and includes 36 transceivers capable of data rates up to 14.1 Gb/s. It operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and utilizes an 850 mV core voltage. The component is housed in a 1517-ball FCBGA package with 696 I/Os.

Feature Summary

• High-density programmable logic fabric supporting complex system-on-chip designs
• Integrated high-speed serial transceivers for multi-gigabit communication interfaces
• Significant on-chip memory capacity for buffering and data storage requirements

Applications

• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• High-speed data acquisition systems
• Industrial automation controllers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I2W' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm environmental rating and packaging specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts due to the 1517-ball FCBGA footprint. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling procedures during assembly to prevent damage.

Selection Notes

Select this model when high logic density and substantial embedded memory are required alongside multiple high-speed serial links. Compare performance metrics against other Stratix V variants if lower power consumption or different I/O counts are acceptable for the target application design constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets gigabit networking and DSP-intensive tasks. It shares architectural similarities with other 5SGX devices but offers specific resource scaling. The part represents a mature generation of FPGA technology from Altera, now Intel.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 5SGXEA7K2F40 variants with compatible pinouts such as 5SGXEA7K2F40I2N or 5SGXEA7K2F40I3G. Verify electrical characteristics and package dimensions before substitution.
