5SGXEA7N2F45I3

Overview

The Altera 5SGXEA7N2F45I3 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 and 234,720 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs). The device includes 50 Mbit of embedded memory and supports up to 840 I/Os. It integrates 48 transceivers capable of data rates up to 14.1 Gb/s. Operating at a supply voltage of 0.9V, it functions within a junction temperature range of -40°C to 100°C. The component is housed in a 1932-ball FCBGA 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 networking protocols

Applications

• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Data center interconnect solutions
• Industrial automation control systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I3' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm industrial temperature rating and RoHS compliance status. Cross-reference the part number with current product lifecycle notices, as older Stratix V models may have limited availability or end-of-life status. Ensure compatibility with Quartus Prime software versions supported by this generation of FPGA.

Selection Notes

Compare the 622k LE capacity and 48 transceiver count against project requirements. Evaluate power consumption profiles relative to the 0.9V core voltage. Consider thermal management needs given the 1932-ball package density. Verify that the 50 Mbit embedded memory suffices for buffer requirements without external memory controllers.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which emphasizes high-speed serial connectivity. It shares the same package footprint and general architecture with other variants like the 5SGXEA7N2F45I2, differing primarily in temperature grade and specific manufacturing lot characteristics defined by the suffix.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the 5SGXEA7N2F45I2 if industrial temperature range is not strictly required. For pin-compatible upgrades within the same series, consult Intel's cross-reference tools for newer generations such as Arria 10 or Agilex, noting that architectural differences require design re-verification.
