5SGXMA3K3F40C3WN

Overview

The Altera 5SGXMA3K3F40C3WN 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 integrates 19 Mbit of embedded memory and supports up to 696 I/Os. It includes 36 transceivers capable of data rates up to 14.1 Gb/s. Operating at a core voltage of 900 mV, it functions within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°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 custom hardware acceleration.
• Includes substantial on-chip memory blocks to support buffering and data storage without external components.

Applications

• High-speed telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Digital signal processing systems requiring parallel computation
• Network switching and routing platforms

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix configuration against official Intel/Altera documentation to ensure correct temperature grade and packaging specifications. Confirm current lifecycle status as end-of-life or obsolescence may affect long-term supply chain stability. Request original manufacturer datasheets to validate pinout and electrical characteristics before integration into design files.

Selection Notes

Compare this model with other Stratix V GX variants based on specific transceiver counts and I/O density requirements. Evaluate power consumption profiles against system thermal constraints given the 900 mV core voltage operation. Ensure the selected package size fits the available PCB real estate and manufacturing capabilities for fine-pitch BGA assembly.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets high-bandwidth applications. It shares architectural similarities with other 5SGX series devices but differs in specific resource allocations such as LAB count and transceiver quantity. It represents a generation of FPGAs optimized for performance-per-watt in dense packaging solutions.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes are not publicly confirmed for this specific part number. Consider evaluating newer Intel Agilex or Stratix 10 families for equivalent functionality, though pin compatibility and software migration efforts must be assessed separately.
