5SGSED6K3F40C4N

The 5SGSED6K3F40C4N is an Intel Stratix V GS field programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 1517-BBGA FCBGA package. It is built on the Stratix V family architecture and targets transceiver-driven, DSP-centric applications that require high logic density and substantial on-chip memory.

With approximately 583,000 logic elements, around 46 Mbits of embedded memory, and support for high-speed transceiver links featured in the Stratix V GS variant, this device is suited for wireline, broadcast, military, and high-performance computing systems that demand integrated DSP resources and extensive I/O.

Key Features

• Core Technology: 28-nm Stratix V family architecture with an adaptive logic module (ALM)-based fabric for flexible logic implementation.
• Logic Capacity: Approximately 583,000 logic elements to implement large-scale digital designs and system-level functions.
• Embedded Memory: Approximately 46 Mbits of on-chip RAM (M20K block architecture referenced in the family) for buffering, packet processing, and DSP data storage.
• DSP and Transceivers: GS-family emphasis on variable-precision DSP blocks and integrated transceivers with up to 14.1 Gbps data-rate capability for transceiver-based DSP applications.
• I/O and Packaging: 696 user I/Os in a 1517-FBGA (40×40) form-factor, providing broad interfacing options in a surface-mount FCBGA package.
• Power and Operating Range: Core supply voltage range of 820 mV to 880 mV and commercial operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C.
• System Integration: Embedded HardCopy block support for hardened IP instantiation (including PCIe Gen3/Gen2/Gen1 as noted for the Stratix V family) and comprehensive fabric clocking with fractional PLLs.
• Compliance: RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High-performance DSP systems: Implement large-scale signal processing pipelines using the device’s abundant DSP resources and on-chip memory.
• Broadcast and video processing: Handle multichannel video encoding, transcoding, and real-time processing where integrated DSP and memory accelerate throughput.
• Military and communications equipment: Support protocol processing and waveform generation in systems that leverage transceiver-enabled DSP capabilities.
• Backplane and optical interfaces: Use the GS transceivers’ 14.1-Gbps capability for backplane and optical link applications requiring high-speed serial connectivity.

Unique Advantages

• High logic density: Approximately 583,000 logic elements let you integrate complex system functions on a single device, reducing board-level component count.
• Substantial on-chip memory: Around 46 Mbits of embedded RAM enables large buffering and low-latency data storage for DSP and packet-processing tasks.
• Transceiver-enabled DSP: Integrated transceivers paired with variable-precision DSP blocks simplify implementation of high-throughput, low-latency signal chains.
• Extensive I/O in a compact package: 696 I/Os in a 1517-BBGA footprint support dense system interconnects and flexible routing for complex designs.
• Commercial temperature and RoHS compliance: Designed for commercial applications with a 0 °C to 85 °C operating range and RoHS-compliant manufacturing.
• Path to hardened ASICs: Stratix V family support for Embedded HardCopy blocks provides a documented low-risk migration route to HardCopy V ASICs for higher-volume production.
