Recommended
Broadcast Video Processing
For broadcast video applications the 5CGXBC7C6F23C7N delivers 156 18x18 multipliers and 9.4 Mbit of block RAM, which is sufficient for 3G-SDI de-embedders, color-space converters, and on-screen display overlays at 1080p60. The integrated transceivers drive SMPTE 424M directly without external SERDES, while 240 user I/Os support parallel video buses and audio embedding I/O.
Recommended
Factory Automation Controllers
The 5CGXBC7C6F23C7N suits factory automation PLCs and motion controllers because its 149,500 logic elements, 156 hardware multipliers, and 240 user I/Os provide headroom for EtherCAT, PROFINET, or EtherNet/IP slave stacks plus multi-axis PID loops. The 1.1 V core with sub-1 W typical dynamic power keeps the part within sealed industrial enclosure thermal budgets without active cooling.
Recommended
Software Defined Radio Baseband
For low-cost software-defined radio baseband the 5CGXBC7C6F23C7N pairs six 3.125 Gbps transceivers for CPRI or OBSAI fronthaul links with 156 18x18 multipliers that implement FFT, channelization, and digital down-conversion stages for sub-6 GHz radio cards. The 9.4 Mbit block RAM holds coefficient tables and packet buffers, while 240 user I/Os interface to ADC/DAC companion chips.
Recommended
Medical Imaging Systems
The 5CGXBC7C6F23C7N supports medical imaging front-ends such as ultrasound beamformers and endoscopy processors where 149,500 logic elements and 156 DSP multipliers implement FIR filtering, envelope detection, and image reconstruction pipelines. The integrated transceivers carry raw ADC data to a host SoC over low-latency serial links, and 240 user I/Os connect to LVDS-based image sensors.
Recommended
IoT Edge Gateways
For IoT edge gateways the 5CGXBC7C6F23C7N delivers PCIe Gen1 hard IP for connecting to a host processor, 3.125 Gbps transceivers for wired uplinks, and 149,500 logic elements for protocol translation between Modbus, BACnet, MQTT, and OPC UA. The 1.1 V core plus sub-watt dynamic power keeps the gateway within PoE power budgets while 240 user I/Os serve RS-485, CAN, and GPIO channels.
Recommended
Automotive Driver Assistance Prototyping
For pre-production prototyping of ADAS vision and radar preprocessing the 5CGXBC7C6F23C7N provides six 3.125 Gbps transceivers for camera and radar front-end aggregation, plus 156 multipliers for FFT and object detection kernels. Designers can validate algorithms in the lab before porting to a Cyclone V Auto-grade part; the commercial 0C to 85C grade suits non-vehicle-mounted prototype racks.

Key Differentiators
- Highest logic density available in the Cyclone V GX 484-FBGA package class (vs 5CGXBC5C7U19C8N)
- Commercial temperature grade suited to indoor industrial equipment (vs 5CGXBC7C6F23I7N)
- Six integrated 3.125 Gbps transceivers eliminate external SERDES cost (vs 5CEFA4F23I7N)
Design Notes
The FBGA-484 package uses a 1.0 mm ball pitch and requires microvia or laser-drilled PCB technology. Stacked-via designs with 0.4 mm pitch capture pads are recommended for breakout; conventional 0.2 mm mechanical drills do not support the inner-row escape. Designers should follow the Cyclone V device handbook pin connection guidelines and Intel's board design guidelines for high-speed transceiver routing to maintain signal integrity on the GX channels up to 3.125 Gbps.
Estimated: the Cyclone V GX core at 1.1 V draws roughly 0.5-1.5 W depending on toggle rate and transceiver utilization; a design with all six transceivers active at 3.125 Gbps can pull 2-3 W total from the VCCINT and VCCEAL supplies combined. Provide at least four 22 uF/0402 ceramic capacitors plus two 220 uF bulk capacitors within the inductance budget documented in the device handbook PDN guidelines, and route VCCINT and VCCA_FPLL as wide polygons to limit IR drop.
Do not confuse the 5CGXBC7C6F23C7N (FBGA-484, 149.5K LE) with the 5CGXBC5C7F27C8N (FBGA-672, lower density) - they share the same prefix but use different packages and cannot be PCB-swapped. Always verify the package code in the part number matches your footprint, and confirm the configuration flash (EPCS16 / EPCQ32) is sized for your compressed bitstream plus any remote system update images.
