5CGXBC3B6U15C7N

The 5CGXBC3B6U15C7N is an Intel Cyclone V GX field-programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 324‑LFBGA package. It pairs a cost-sensitive, low-power 28 nm FPGA fabric with the Cyclone V family’s integrated system features to address applications that require balanced logic density, embedded memory, and high-speed interfaces.

Targeted for industrial, wireless and wireline, and military applications, this GX variant combines on-chip resources and transceiver-ready architecture to support designs that need deterministic I/O, embedded memory, and compact packaging.

Key Features

• Core logic — 31,500 logic elements provide programmable fabric for glue logic, control, and mid-density digital processing.
• Embedded memory — Approximately 1.38 Mbits of on-chip RAM, delivered via Cyclone V memory blocks (M10K architectures are part of the device family), suitable for buffering, FIFOs, and small local datasets.
• DSP and compute — Support for variable-precision DSP blocks across the Cyclone V family enables efficient arithmetic and signal-processing implementations.
• High-speed I/O and transceivers — 144 general-purpose I/Os and GX family transceiver capability (Cyclone V family supports multi-gigabit transceivers) for interfacing to peripherals, memory, and communication links.
• Memory subsystem and controllers — Family-level hard memory controllers and external memory interface options simplify high-bandwidth connections to off-chip memories.
• Power and supply — Core supply operating range of 1.07 V to 1.13 V, matching the Cyclone V family’s low-voltage architecture for reduced power consumption.
• Package and mounting — Surface-mount 324‑LFBGA (supplier package: 324‑UBGA 15×15) provides a compact footprint for space-constrained boards.
• Operating range and compliance — Commercial-grade operating temperature of 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS compliance for regulatory alignment.

Typical Applications

• Industrial control — Deterministic I/O and embedded memory make the device suitable for motor control, PLC auxiliary logic, and factory automation interfaces.
• Wireless infrastructure — GX transceiver capability and DSP resources support PHY front-end functions, protocol offload, and intermediate processing in wireless basestations and repeaters.
• Wireline communications — High-speed I/O, hard memory controllers, and on-chip RAM enable packet buffering, framing, and protocol bridging in wired network equipment.
• Military and avionics subsystems — Programmability and integrated interfaces support custom digital processing and data aggregation tasks in defense electronics where reconfigurability is required.
• Embedded SoC and prototyping — The Cyclone V family features (including optional HPS integration across the family) suit system prototyping and embedded processing tasks that combine software and programmable logic.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced logic density: 31,500 logic elements deliver mid-range capacity for control, protocol, and processing tasks without excessive board area or cost.
• On-chip memory for real-time buffering: Approximately 1.38 Mbits of embedded RAM supports FIFOs, small caches, and local data storage to reduce external memory traffic.
• Integrated transceiver and memory controller support: Family-level support for multi-gigabit transceivers and hard memory controllers streamlines high-bandwidth interface design.
• Low-voltage core operation: Core supply range of 1.07 V to 1.13 V aligns with low-power system requirements and simplifies power-rail planning.
• Compact BGA footprint: 324‑LFBGA (15×15 supplier UBGA) enables deployment in space-constrained PCBs while providing dense I/O.
• Commercial temperature and RoHS compliance: Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and RoHS‑compliant to meet common commercial product requirements.
