5SGXMA3E3H29C2N

Overview

The Altera 5SGXMA3E3H29C2N 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 0.9V, it is housed in an FBGA-1517 package with a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Feature Summary

• High-density programmable logic architecture with extensive embedded memory resources
• Integrated high-speed serial transceivers supporting multi-gigabit data transmission
• Support for advanced I/O standards and flexible pinout configurations

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C2N' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm the exact temperature grade and package variant. Ensure compatibility with the required Quartus Prime software version for the Stratix V family before procurement. Confirm end-of-life status or obsolescence notices directly with the supplier, as availability may be limited.

Selection Notes

Compare the 36-transceiver count and 14.1 Gb/s maximum rate against application bandwidth requirements. Evaluate the 19 Mbit embedded memory capacity for buffer needs. Consider the FBGA-1517 package dimensions for PCB layout constraints. Verify that the 0°C to +70°C operating range meets environmental specifications.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets high-performance computing and communications markets. It utilizes a mature 28nm process technology optimized for power efficiency and performance. The part shares architectural similarities with other Stratix V devices but offers specific I/O and transceiver counts tailored for mid-range high-speed applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include the 5SGXMA3K1F40C2N, which shares similar logic density but differs in package and I/O count. Cross-family migration to Agilex or Stratix 10 requires significant design revalidation due to architectural differences.
