5SGSMD4K2F40C3N

The 5SGSMD4K2F40C3N is an Intel Stratix V GS field-programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 1517-BBGA (FCBGA) package. Based on the Stratix V family architecture, this GS variant targets transceiver-based, DSP-centric designs and bandwidth-intensive applications by combining high logic capacity, abundant embedded memory, and a large I/O count.

This device is optimized for designs that require extensive DSP resources and high I/O density, offering a commercial-grade operating range and RoHS compliance suitable for a wide range of data-processing and communications applications.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 360,000 logic elements, enabling complex FPGA designs and large-scale integration.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 19.456 Mbits of on-chip RAM (19,456,000 total RAM bits) for buffering, packet processing, and on-chip data storage.
• DSP Resources — Stratix V GS family includes variable-precision DSP blocks for high-performance signal processing (family-level DSP architecture described in the Stratix V documentation).
• High I/O Density — Up to 696 I/O pins to support broad interface and multi-channel designs.
• Transceiver and Hard IP (Family Features) — Stratix V family integrates high-speed transceivers and embedded hard IP blocks; GS family devices are described as supporting transceivers and DSP-centric hard IP in the family documentation.
• Process and Fabric — Built on the Stratix V family architecture (28-nm TSMC process as documented for the family) with a rich fabric of routing, fractional PLLs, and M20K memory block architecture referenced in family materials.
• Power and Voltage — Core supply range of 820 mV to 880 mV as specified for the device.
• Package and Mounting — 1517-BBGA FCBGA package (supplier device package: 1517-FBGA, 40×40) with surface-mount construction for high-pin-count board designs.
• Operating Conditions — Commercial grade with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High-performance signal processing — DSP-centric systems that leverage the Stratix V GS family's variable-precision DSP resources for computation-heavy tasks.
• Datacom and networking — Bandwidth-centric designs such as backplane and optical interfaces where large I/O counts and embedded memory support packet buffering and traffic management.
• Broadcast and military communications — Transceiver-based systems and processing chains that require significant logic capacity and on-chip memory for real-time data handling.
• High-performance computing nodes — Acceleration and pre/post-processing elements that need dense logic resources and high I/O connectivity.

Unique Advantages

• High logic density: 360,000 logic elements provide the integration headroom for large, complex FPGA designs without partitioning functions across multiple devices.
• Substantial on-chip memory: Approximately 19.456 Mbits of embedded RAM reduces external memory dependence and simplifies board-level memory architectures.
• Extensive I/O capability: 696 I/Os enable multi-channel interfaces and flexible system-level connectivity for dense I/O requirements.
• Commercial operating range with RoHS compliance: Suited for mainstream electronics applications requiring commercial-grade temperature support and environmental compliance.
• High-pin-count FCBGA package: 1517-BBGA (1517-FBGA, 40×40) supports the device’s density and routing needs in compact surface-mount form factors.
• Family-level ecosystem: Part of the Stratix V family, which documentation describes as providing integrated hard IP and design resources that can support migration paths such as HardCopy V ASICs.
