It features 340,000 logic elements and 128,300 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs). The device integrates 19 Mbit of embedded memory and includes 36 transceivers capable of data rates up to 14.1 Gb/s. It operates within an industrial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C and utilizes a 1517-ball FBGA package.

Feature Summary

• Stratix V GX architecture optimized for high-speed serial communications
• Integrated high-density embedded memory blocks
• Supports advanced DSP algorithms with dedicated hardware multipliers

Applications

• High-speed telecommunications infrastructure
• Digital video and image processing systems
• Industrial automation control networks

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Intel/Altera distributors or certified secondary market suppliers. Request original manufacturer datasheets and test reports to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical specifications. Ensure proper handling procedures are followed due to moisture sensitivity classification. Validate that the specific suffix matches the required thermal and voltage parameters for your design.

Selection Notes

Compare against other Stratix V variants based on I/O count and transceiver availability. Evaluate power consumption requirements against the 900 mV core voltage specification. Consider the 1517-ball FBGA footprint constraints during PCB layout. Assess if the 14.1 Gb/s transceiver speed meets interface bandwidth needs for target protocols.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets high-end applications requiring significant bandwidth and power efficiency. It succeeds earlier generations by offering improved logic density and integrated transceivers. The part is distinct from the GS and GT series by its focus on general-purpose high-speed serial connectivity.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements may include other Stratix V GX devices with similar logic counts, such as the 5SGXEA3K2F40C3N or 5SGXMA3K1F35C2LN. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and software configuration file compatibility before substitution.
