5SGXMA3E1H29C2L

Overview

The Altera 5SGXMA3E1H29C2L is a Stratix V GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designed for high-performance digital signal processing and communication applications. It features 340,000 logic elements and 128,300 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs). The device integrates 19.46 Mbit of embedded memory and supports up to 600 I/Os. It includes 12 transceivers capable of data rates up to 14.1 Gb/s. Operating at a core voltage of 0.82V to 0.88V, it functions within a junction temperature range of 0°C to 85°C. The component is housed in a 780-ball FCBGA package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates high-speed serial transceivers supporting advanced modulation formats for telecommunications links.
• Provides extensive embedded memory resources for complex buffering and data storage requirements.
• Features a scalable logic architecture with adaptive logic modules for efficient resource utilization.

Applications

• High-speed networking equipment requiring multi-gigabit serial connectivity.
• Digital signal processing systems for broadcast and medical imaging.
• Industrial automation controllers needing robust programmable logic.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm package type, temperature grade, and lead-free status. Confirm current lifecycle status as distribution channels vary. Request manufacturer datasheets and errata sheets prior to design finalization to ensure compliance with latest technical specifications and known issues.

Selection Notes

Compare logic density and transceiver count against project requirements to avoid over-specification. Evaluate power consumption profiles at target clock frequencies. Ensure the 780-ball BGA footprint matches the PCB layout constraints. Verify compatibility with Quartus Prime software versions for the Stratix V family during the design phase.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets high-performance serial communications. It sits between lower-density Cyclone devices and higher-end Stratix V GS or SX families. The GX series specifically emphasizes serial transceiver performance for network infrastructure and base station applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements are not publicly documented for this specific legacy part number. Consider migrating to newer Intel Agilex or Stratix 10 families for long-term supply assurance, though these require significant redesign due to architectural differences.
