5SGXMA3E2H29I3LN

Overview

The Altera 5SGXMA3E2H29I3LN is a Stratix V GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designed for high-performance digital signal processing and networking applications. It features 340,000 logic elements and 128,300 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs). The device includes 19 Mbit of embedded memory and supports up to 696 I/Os. It integrates 36 transceivers capable of data rates up to 14.1 Gb/s. Operating at a core voltage of 900 mV, it functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The component is housed in a 1517-ball FBGA package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates high-speed serial transceivers supporting multi-gigabit data transmission rates for complex interconnect requirements.
• Provides extensive programmable logic resources through a large array of adaptive logic modules for flexible system implementation.
• Includes substantial on-chip embedded memory blocks to reduce external memory dependencies and improve bandwidth efficiency.

Applications

• High-speed telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Advanced digital signal processing systems
• Enterprise networking switches and routers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Intel/Altera documentation to ensure correct package type and operating temperature range. Confirm end-of-life status with authorized distributors as availability may be limited. Request full datasheets and mechanical drawings prior to integration to validate pin compatibility and thermal requirements.

Selection Notes

Compare logic density and transceiver counts against project requirements to ensure sufficient resources. Evaluate power consumption profiles at target clock frequencies. Consider alternative packages if board space constraints differ from the standard FBGA form factor. Verify software toolchain support for the specific device variant.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which emphasizes high-speed serial connectivity. It shares architectural similarities with other Stratix V devices but offers specific transceiver configurations tailored for gigabit Ethernet and optical networking standards. The GX series distinguishes itself through optimized SerDes performance compared to GS or GT variants.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes are not publicly confirmed for this discontinued part. Consider migration to Agilex or Stratix 10 families for long-term supply stability. Verify functional equivalence and pinout compatibility when evaluating next-generation FPGA alternatives from the same manufacturer.
