5SGXMA3E3H29I4N

Overview

The Altera 5SGXMA3E3H29I4N 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 19,456,000 total RAM bits and supports up to 600 I/Os. It integrates 24 transceivers capable of data rates up to 14.1 Gb/s. Operating at a core voltage of 0.82V to 0.88V, it is housed in a 780-ball FCBGA package with a junction temperature range of -40°C to 100°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates 24 high-speed transceivers supporting advanced serial communication protocols.
• Provides extensive embedded memory resources for complex data buffering and processing.
• Utilizes Adaptive Logic Modules for efficient logic density and resource utilization.

Applications

• High-speed telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Digital signal processing systems requiring multi-gigabit throughput
• Network switching and routing platforms

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to potential availability constraints. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling requirements during storage and assembly. Ensure compatibility with Quartus Prime software versions supporting the Stratix V family. Check for specific packaging variations or label changes documented in recent Product Change Notices.

Selection Notes

Select this model when high-density logic combined with significant serial connectivity is required. Compare against Stratix V GS variants if lower power consumption is prioritized over transceiver count. Evaluate thermal management needs given the 780-ball BGA footprint and active cooling requirements for sustained operation at maximum frequencies.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX series, targeting performance-intensive markets. It succeeds earlier generations like Stratix IV by offering improved transceiver speeds and logic efficiency. The part number suffix indicates specific speed grades and industrial temperature ratings within the broader FPGA portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements are not officially listed for this specific variant. Consider migrating to Agilex 5 or Stratix 10 families for future-proofing, though these require design reskinning and IP adaptation rather than simple substitution.
