5SGXEA9K2H40I2LG

Overview

The Altera 5SGXEA9K2H40I2LG is a Stratix V GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designed for high-performance digital logic applications. It features 840,000 logic elements and 317,000 adaptive logic modules within its architecture. The device integrates 52 Mbit of embedded memory and supports data rates up to 14.1 Gb/s via 36 transceivers. It operates at a supply voltage between 0.82V and 0.88V and functions within a junction temperature range of 0°C to 85°C. The component is housed in a 1517-ball FCBGA package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates 36 high-speed transceivers supporting data rates up to 14.1 Gb/s for serial communication
• Provides extensive programmable logic capacity with 840,000 logic elements and 317,000 adaptive logic modules
• Includes substantial on-chip memory resources totaling 52 Mbit for data buffering and processing

Applications

• High-speed serial communication systems requiring multi-gigabit transceiver interfaces
• Complex digital signal processing implementations utilizing large logic arrays
• Network infrastructure equipment demanding high I/O density and low power consumption

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I2LG' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm the exact operating temperature range and package variant. Ensure compatibility with required PCB thermal management solutions given the FCBGA form factor. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling procedures during assembly to prevent damage. Cross-reference the part number with current lifecycle status to ensure long-term availability for production.

Selection Notes

Select this component when design requirements exceed the capacity of smaller Stratix families but do not necessitate the higher performance tiers of Agilex or Stratix IV GX. Evaluate the 1517-pin footprint constraints against board space limitations. Consider the 0.82V to 0.88V core voltage requirements for power delivery network design. Compare the 36-transceiver count against interface bandwidth needs to avoid over-specifying hardware resources.

Part Context

This FPGA belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets high-speed serial applications. It shares architectural similarities with other 5SGX devices but offers distinct logic and memory configurations. The 5SGXEA9K designation indicates a specific silicon revision and feature set within the broader Stratix portfolio, differentiating it from the SE or MX variants.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the 5SGXEA9K1H40C2LG and 5SGXMA9K2H40C2LG, which share similar logic densities and package types. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics before swapping. Alternative families like Stratix IV GX may require significant redesign due to architectural differences.
