5SGSMD8N2F45I3N Stratix V GS FPGA IC 840 51200000 695000 1932-BBGA, FCBGA

The 5SGSMD8N2F45I3N is a high-performance Stratix V GS FPGA from Intel (formerly Altera), delivering 695,000 logic elements and 262,400 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs) in a robust 1932-pin FBGA (Fine-pitch Ball Grid Array) package measuring 45mm × 45mm. This advanced device operates with core voltage of 0.9V and I/O voltages supporting multiple standards, featuring 48 low-power serial transceivers capable of data rates up to 14.1 Gbps per lane. The device integrates 50 Mbits of M20K embedded memory, 3,926 variable precision DSP blocks (18×18), and up to 4 PCIe Gen3 hard IP blocks, making it ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications requiring massive parallel processing capabilities. Characterized for industrial temperature range, this device provides 840 user I/O pins and supports DDR3 SDRAM x72 DIMM interfaces for high-performance memory subsystems.

Architecture & Logic Resources

The 5SGSMD8N2F45I3N implements Altera's 28nm enhanced core architecture featuring 1,050K registers and sophisticated clocking infrastructure with up to 28 fractional PLLs supporting both integer and fractional mode operation with third-order delta-sigma modulation. The variable precision DSP blocks can be independently configured as either dual 18×18 or single 27×27 multiply-accumulate units, with dedicated 64-bit cascade buses enabling efficient implementation of high-precision DSP functions. The embedded memory architecture combines MLAB (640-bit) and M20K (20-Kbit) blocks operating up to 600 MHz, configurable as single or dual-port RAM, FIFO, ROM, or shift registers with ECC support.
