5SGXMA4K3F40I3LN

Overview

The Altera 5SGXMA4K3F40I3LN is a Stratix V GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designed for high-performance digital signal processing and networking applications. It features 420,000 logic elements, 158,500 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs), and 15,850 Logic Array Blocks (LABs). The device integrates 37.89 Mbits of embedded memory and includes 36 transceivers capable of data rates up to 14.1 Gb/s. Operating at a core voltage of 0.82V to 0.88V, it supports an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +100°C junction temperature. The component is housed in a 1517-ball FCBGA package with 600 I/Os.

Feature Summary

• High-density programmable logic architecture utilizing Adaptive Logic Modules for efficient resource utilization.
• Integrated high-speed serial transceivers supporting multi-gigabit data transmission rates.
• Substantial embedded memory capacity for on-chip buffering and data storage requirements.

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'LN' against official Altera documentation to confirm environmental or reliability specifications, as suffixes often denote moisture sensitivity levels or lead-free status. Confirm availability status, as this part may be discontinued or subject to limited supply constraints. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and thermal management solutions before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of moderate logic density and high-speed serial connectivity is required within the Stratix V GX family. Compare total ALM counts and transceiver numbers against alternative SKUs like the 5SGXMA series variants to match specific I/O and bandwidth needs. Verify that the 1517 FBGA package dimensions fit the target board layout and that the thermal profile supports the specified junction temperature limits.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Altera Stratix V GX FPGA family, which targets gigabit communications and DSP applications. It shares architectural similarities with other 5SGX models but differs in logic element count, memory size, and pin configuration. The 'MA4K' designation indicates its specific tier within the GX portfolio regarding resource allocation.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements are not explicitly listed in public sources. Consider evaluating other Stratix V GX devices with similar ALM counts or transceiver configurations. Cross-reference with Intel's current product portfolios for potential long-term support alternatives if the legacy part is no longer available.
