5SGXEA7K3F40I3LN

Overview

The Altera 5SGXEA7K3F40I3LN is a Stratix V GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) featuring 622,000 logic elements and 234,720 Adaptive Logic Modules. It integrates 51 Mbit of embedded memory and supports up to 696 I/Os. The device includes 36 transceivers capable of data rates up to 14.1 Gb/s. Operating at a core voltage of 850 mV, it functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Packaged in a 1517-ball FCBGA, this component is designed for high-density programmable logic applications.

Feature Summary

• High-density logic fabric with over 600,000 logic elements for complex system integration
• Integrated high-speed serial transceivers supporting multi-gigabit data transmission
• Significant on-chip memory capacity for data buffering and processing

Applications

• High-performance networking infrastructure equipment
• Industrial automation control systems
• Telecommunications base station processing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'LN' against official Altera documentation to confirm package and temperature grade accuracy. Check current lifecycle status as Stratix V devices may be discontinued or subject to limited availability. Ensure compatibility with Quartus Prime software versions supporting this specific FPGA family before procurement.

Selection Notes

Compare the 622,000 LE count and 36 transceiver configuration against project requirements. Evaluate power consumption at the 850 mV operating voltage. Consider thermal management solutions for the 1517-ball BGA package. Verify that the 696 I/O count meets interface needs without requiring additional level shifters.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, optimized for high-speed serial communications. It sits between lower-density Arria series and higher-end Stratix IV devices in terms of performance and cost. The GX designation indicates a focus on transceiver-heavy applications compared to the GT variants.
