5SGXEA7N2F40I2G

Overview

The Altera 5SGXEA7N2F40I2G is a Stratix V GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designed for high-performance wireline applications. It features 622,000 logic elements and 234,720 adaptive logic modules within its architecture. The device integrates 50 Mbit of embedded memory and supports up to 696 I/Os. It includes 48 transceivers capable of data rates up to 14.1 Gb/s. Operating at a core voltage of 0.82V to 0.88V, it functions reliably between -40°C and +100°C junction temperature. The component is housed in a 1517-ball FCBGA package.

Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed serial communication through integrated transceivers with data rates up to 14.1 Gb/s
• Provides extensive programmable logic resources including over 600,000 logic elements for complex digital designs
• Features significant on-chip memory capacity to support buffering and processing requirements
• Designed for surface-mount installation in industrial-grade thermal environments

Applications

• High-speed telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Wireline network interface cards and routers
• Data center interconnect solutions requiring low latency
• Test and measurement instrumentation systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I2G' against official Altera documentation to confirm the exact temperature range and commercial/industrial grade classification. Confirm current lifecycle status as distribution channels may list this part as obsolete or end-of-life. Ensure compatibility with Quartus Prime software versions supporting the Stratix V family before procurement.

Selection Notes

Compare the 696 I/O count and 48 transceiver configuration against system interface requirements. Evaluate the 50 Mbit embedded memory size relative to buffer needs. Consider the 1517 FBGA package dimensions for PCB layout constraints. Verify that the 14.1 Gb/s transceiver speed meets the target protocol specifications such as PCIe or Ethernet standards.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which is optimized for high-speed serial connectivity. It shares architectural similarities with other Stratix V devices but distinguishes itself through its focus on transceiver density and wireline performance capabilities compared to the MX or GT series.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed direct substitute part numbers are not available in the provided source material. Engineering changes should be evaluated using Intel's official cross-reference tools or by consulting the manufacturer for updated product line recommendations.
