5SGXEA7K2F40C1

The 5SGXEA7K2F40C1 is an Intel Stratix V GX field-programmable gate array (FPGA) supplied in a 1517-FBGA (40×40) package. It is built on the Stratix V family architecture and targets bandwidth- and data-intensive applications requiring high logic capacity, plentiful I/O, and integrated transceiver capability.

As part of the Stratix V family, this GX variant benefits from the family’s enhanced core architecture, embedded hard IP blocks, and integrated high-speed transceivers. Typical use cases include high-bandwidth transport, packet processing, and high-performance DSP systems.

Key Features

• High Logic Capacity — Contains 622,000 logic elements for complex FPGA designs and large-scale integration.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 51.2 Mbits of on-chip RAM, supported by Stratix V M20K 20-Kbit memory blocks for dense buffering and storage.
• I/O and Package — Up to 696 user I/O pins in a 1517-BBGA (FCBGA) 1517-FBGA (40×40) surface-mount package to support broad interfacing needs.
• Integrated Transceivers (GX) — Stratix V GX devices offer up to 66 integrated transceivers with 14.1-Gbps data-rate capability for backplane and optical interfaces.
• Core and Process — Built on a 28-nm TSMC process with supported core voltages of 0.85 V or 0.9 V; the device data lists an operating supply range of 870 mV to 930 mV.
• DSP and Fabric Building Blocks — Includes variable-precision DSP blocks, redesigned adaptive logic modules (ALMs), fractional PLLs, and a comprehensive fabric clocking and routing architecture.
• Embedded Hard IP — Features an Embedded HardCopy Block for hardened IP instantiation (for example, PCIe Gen1/Gen2/Gen3 in Stratix V family documentation).
• Power and Environmental — Surface-mount package, RoHS compliant, and specified for commercial operating temperatures from 0 °C to 85 °C.

Typical Applications

• 40G/100G Optical Transport — High-density logic and integrated transceivers enable optical transport line cards and interface modules.
• Packet Processing and Traffic Management — Large logic and abundant I/O support complex packet processing, switching, and traffic-management functions.
• High-Performance DSP — Variable-precision DSP blocks and substantial on-chip RAM make the device suitable for DSP-heavy workloads and signal-processing pipelines.
• Network Test and Measurement — Integrated transceivers and high I/O count support test equipment and backplane-based measurement systems.

Unique Advantages

• High integration and density: 622,000 logic elements and abundant embedded memory reduce the need for external logic and memory, simplifying system design.
• Built for bandwidth: Up to 66 GX transceivers at 14.1 Gbps support demanding high-speed serial links without external PHYs.
• Family-level hard IP: The Embedded HardCopy Block and family hard-IP capabilities help accelerate deployment of standards-based interfaces.
• Flexible fabric: ALMs, fractional PLLs, and multi-track routing provide a versatile architecture for varied timing and logic partitioning requirements.
• Commercial-grade readiness: RoHS-compliant, surface-mount 1517-FBGA package and a 0 °C to 85 °C operating range for typical commercial deployments.
