5SGSMD5K2F40C3N

The 5SGSMD5K2F40C3N is a Stratix® V GS field programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 1517-FBGA (40×40) surface-mount package targeted for commercial applications. It combines a high logic capacity fabric with abundant I/O and on-chip memory to address compute- and transceiver-centric designs.

Built on the Stratix V architecture, this GS variant is positioned for transceiver-based, DSP-centric workloads found in wireline, military, broadcast, and high-performance computing applications. Its architecture emphasizes integration of DSP resources, embedded memory, and high-density I/O to support bandwidth- and data-intensive designs.

Key Features

• Core logic  457,000 logic elements provide substantial programmable logic capacity for complex state machines, control, and custom datapaths.
• Embedded memory  Approximately 39.9 Mbits of on-chip RAM (39,936,000 bits) using Stratix V M20K memory blocks to support large buffers and scratchpad storage.
• DSP and hard IP  Stratix V GS family devices include an abundance of variable-precision DSP blocks; the family supports high-precision multiply resources and integrated hard IP for functions such as PCIe (per the device family documentation).
• I/O and connectivity  696 I/Os enable dense external interfacing and high-pin-count board designs suitable for high-bandwidth systems.
• Package and mounting  1517-FBGA (40×40) FCBGA package in a surface-mount form factor for board-level integration.
• Power supply  Core voltage range specified at 820 mV to 880 mV for power planning and system-level thermal design.
• Operating conditions  Commercial grade device with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS compliance.
• Process and architecture  Stratix V family devices are implemented in a 28‑nm process and include architecture features such as redesigned adaptive logic modules, multi-track routing, and fabric clocking networks (family-level characteristics).

Typical Applications

• High-performance signal processing  Use the device's abundant DSP resources and large on-chip memory for compute-intensive DSP pipelines and real-time data processing.
• Optical and packet transport systems  High logic density and many I/Os support complex protocol handling and packet processing in wireline and transport applications.
• Broadcast and military communications  The GS variant's DSP and transceiver-focused architecture supports modulation, encoding/decoding, and signal conditioning workloads in broadcast and defense systems.
• System prototyping for ASIC transition  Stratix V devices can be used as a low-risk prototyping step with a defined path to HardCopy V ASICs (family-level capability), aiding volume production planning.

Unique Advantages

• High logic and memory integration: 457,000 logic elements paired with approximately 39.9 Mbits of embedded RAM reduce the need for external memory and simplify board design for complex systems.
• Dense I/O for connectivity: 696 I/Os enable rich peripheral and high-speed interface support without extensive multiplexing or external translators.
• Commercial-grade, RoHS-compliant: Designed for commercial temperature ranges (0 °C to 85 °C) and compliant with RoHS requirements for simplified supply-chain compliance.
• Designed for DSP-centric workloads: The GS family’s variable-precision DSP blocks and architecture features provide flexible arithmetic resources for signal-processing applications.
• Proven device family infrastructure: Stratix V family features such as M20K memory blocks, PLLs, and adaptive logic modules support repeatable design patterns and system-level integration.
