5SGSMD4E3H29C2N

The 5SGSMD4E3H29C2N is an Intel Stratix® V GS field-programmable gate array in a 780‑ball BGA (FCBGA) package. Built on a 28‑nm Stratix V architecture, this GS variant targets transceiver‑based, DSP‑centric designs that require large logic, abundant on‑chip memory, and integrated high‑speed transceivers.

This commercial‑grade device delivers a combination of programmable logic (360,000 logic elements), approximately 19.456 Mbits of embedded memory, and a high count of I/O (360 pins), making it suitable for data‑intensive signal processing and high‑bandwidth interface applications within its 0 °C to 85 °C operating range.

Key Features

• Core and process – 28‑nm Stratix V architecture with a documented device core operating voltage range of 870 mV to 930 mV.
• Logic capacity – 360,000 logic elements to implement complex custom logic and control functions.
• Embedded memory – Approximately 19.456 Mbits of on‑chip RAM backed by 20 Kbit (M20K) embedded memory blocks for buffering, packet storage, and lookup tables.
• High‑precision DSP – GS variant includes variable‑precision DSP resources, supporting up to 3,926 18×18 or 1,963 27×27 multipliers for intensive signal processing tasks.
• Integrated transceivers – GS devices offer integrated transceivers with 14.1‑Gbps data‑rate capability for backplane and optical interface applications.
• I/O and package – 360 available I/Os in a 780‑BBGA FCBGA supplier package (780‑HBGA, 33×33), designed for surface‑mount assembly.
• Embedded hard IP – Includes an Embedded HardCopy Block to support hardened IP instantiation (example: PCIe Gen1/Gen2/Gen3 hardening per Stratix V family documentation).
• Commercial temperature and compliance – Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and RoHS‑compliant.

Typical Applications

• High‑performance digital signal processing – Leverage the large DSP fabric and multiplier density for filtering, FFTs, and precision computations in broadcast and compute applications.
• Backplane and optical communications – Integrated 14.1‑Gbps transceivers and abundant logic make the device suitable for packet processing, line‑rate framing, and protocol handling for 40G/100G links.
• Network and packet processing – Use the combination of logic, memory, and I/O to implement traffic management, packet inspection, and custom acceleration functions.
• Military and broadcast signal processing – Apply variable‑precision DSP resources and high I/O density where real‑time, high‑throughput processing is required (device grade: commercial).

Unique Advantages

• Large programmable fabric: 360,000 logic elements provide the capacity to integrate complex control, datapath, and interface logic on a single device, reducing board-level BOM.
• Substantial on‑chip memory: Approximately 19.456 Mbits of embedded RAM (M20K blocks) for packet buffering, lookup tables, and low‑latency data storage.
• High DSP throughput: Variable‑precision DSP blocks with thousands of multipliers enable efficient implementation of compute‑intensive signal processing algorithms.
• Integrated transceiver performance: 14.1‑Gbps capable transceivers on the GS variant support high‑speed serial links for backplane and optical interfaces.
• Hardened IP support: Embedded HardCopy Block facilitates hardened instantiation of PCIe Gen1/Gen2/Gen3 IP, streamlining integration of common protocols.
• Commercial readiness: Surface‑mount 780‑BBGA package and RoHS compliance simplify manufacturing and regulatory alignment for commercial products.
