5SGXMA3E2H29I2L

Overview

The Altera 5SGXMA3E2H29I2L is a Stratix V GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designed for high-performance applications. It features 340,000 logic elements and 128,300 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs). The device includes 19,456,000 bits of total embedded memory and supports up to 600 I/Os. It operates with a core voltage range of 0.82V to 0.88V and supports data rates up to 14.1 Gb/s via its transceivers. The component is housed in a 780-ball HBGA package and functions within a junction temperature range of -40°C to 100°C.

Feature Summary

• High-density logic fabric with significant embedded memory capacity for complex digital designs
• Integrated high-speed serial transceivers supporting multi-gigabit data transmission
• Surface-mount BGA packaging optimized for board-level integration

Applications

• High-end networking infrastructure equipment
• Industrial automation control systems
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix against official Intel/Altera documentation, as minor character variations can indicate different speed grades or packages. Confirm current lifecycle status, as this part may be discontinued or subject to limited availability. Request updated datasheets and pinout files directly from authorized distributors to ensure compatibility with existing design constraints.

Selection Notes

Compare the 340,000 LE count and 19.4 Mbit memory against project requirements to ensure sufficient resources. Evaluate the 780-ball package size for PCB real estate limitations. Check if the 0.82V-0.88V core voltage aligns with available power delivery networks. Consider thermal management needs given the 100°C junction temperature limit and high-speed transceiver usage.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets high-performance serial communication and processing tasks. It sits between lower-density Cyclone devices and higher-end Stratix V GS models in terms of logic density and transceiver capabilities. The 'GX' designation specifically highlights its focus on general-purpose high-speed serial interfaces.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements are limited due to the specific Stratix V architecture. Potential alternatives include other Stratix V variants with similar logic counts or newer Agilex families, though these require significant design re-verification and software migration.
