5SGXMA3E3H29C2LN

Overview

The Altera 5SGXMA3E3H29C2LN 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 432 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 0°C to 85°C.

Feature Summary

• Stratix V GX architecture optimized for high-speed serial communications
• Integrated hard processor system support for complex control tasks
• High-density embedded memory blocks for efficient data buffering

Applications

• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• High-speed data acquisition systems
• Industrial automation controllers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C2LN' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm the exact speed grade and commercial temperature rating. Ensure compatibility with Quartus Prime software versions supporting the Stratix V family. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current manufacturer declarations before integration into regulated assemblies.

Selection Notes

Compare the 340,000 LE capacity and 14.1 Gb/s transceiver speeds against project requirements. Evaluate the 780-ball BGA footprint for PCB layout constraints. Consider thermal management solutions suitable for the 0°C to 85°C operating range. Verify power supply stability within the specified 0.82V to 0.88V core voltage window during peak operation.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX series, targeting high-performance serial I/O applications. It shares architectural similarities with other Stratix V devices but offers specific transceiver counts and logic densities tailored for network and DSP workloads. The part number indicates a specific package and temperature variant within the broader Stratix V portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Stratix V GX variants with similar logic density, such as the 5SGXMA3K1F35C2LN, though pinout and performance differences must be verified. Cross-family migration to Arria 10 or Stratix 10 requires significant design re-verification due to architectural changes.
