5CGXBC3B7U15C8N

The 5CGXBC3B7U15C8N is an Intel Cyclone V GX field-programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 324-LFBGA package designed for cost-sensitive, high-volume applications. Built on the Cyclone V family architecture, this device combines a fabric of 31,500 logic elements with integrated transceiver and memory-oriented features suitable for industrial, wireless/wireline and military system designs.

Key value propositions include low-power 28 nm process technology and a tightly integrated FPGA fabric that supports high-bandwidth interfaces while keeping supply and thermal requirements targeted for commercial-grade deployments.

Key Features

• Fabric Density — 31,500 logic elements for implementing mid-range logic, control and interface functions.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 1.38 Mbits of on-chip RAM to support buffering, FIFOs and small on-chip data stores.
• I/O and Connectivity — 144 user I/O pins for flexible interfacing to external peripherals and systems; enhanced Cyclone V GX devices include integrated transceivers and hard memory controller features at the device-family level.
• Process and Core Voltage — TSMC 28 nm low-power process technology with a device core supply range of 1.07 V to 1.13 V (nominal 1.1 V).
• Package and Mounting — 324-LFBGA (supplier package 324-UBGA, 15×15 mm) in a surface-mount form factor for compact board layouts.
• Operating Range — Commercial-grade operation from 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Standards and Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control — Implement motor control logic, sensor aggregation, and deterministic I/O processing where commercial-grade temperature ranges and compact packaging are required.
• Wireless and Wireline Infrastructure — Use the Cyclone V GX fabric and device-family transceiver/memory controller features for protocol handling, packet buffering, and interface bridging in infrastructure equipment.
• Defense and Military Systems — Deploy in communication, signal-processing and interface-conversion roles that leverage on-chip memory and moderate logic capacity for mission-specific implementations.
• High-volume Consumer/Commercial Electronics — Integrate as a mid-density programmable logic element for feature control, display/UX management, or peripheral aggregation in cost-sensitive products.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory — 31,500 logic elements paired with approximately 1.38 Mbits of embedded RAM provide a practical balance for control, buffering and data-path tasks without external memory in many designs.
• Low-power 28 nm Process — The Cyclone V family’s 28 nm low-power process and 1.1 V core nominal operation reduce core power consumption relative to older nodes, supporting power-sensitive designs.
• Flexible I/O Count — 144 I/Os enable diverse peripheral interfacing and subsystem integration on compact PCBs.
• Compact, Surface-Mount Package — 324-LFBGA (15×15 mm UBGA) delivers a high pin-count, small footprint solution for space-constrained boards.
• Commercial Temperature Rating — Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation, suitable for a wide range of indoor and controlled-environment applications.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets environmental compliance requirements for lead-free assembly and global distribution.

Why Choose 5CGXBC3B7U15C8N?
