• Combines significant FPGA fabric resources with substantial embedded memory blocks to support complex data processing applications.
• Supports high-speed serial connectivity through integrated transceivers suitable for demanding communication interfaces.

Applications

• High-performance industrial automation controllers requiring real-time processing.
• Medical imaging systems needing precise signal acquisition and processing.
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment utilizing high-speed serial links.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C5N' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm manufacturing lot details and compliance status. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and power delivery networks before procurement. Confirm availability through authorized distributors as lead times may vary based on production schedules.

Selection Notes

Select this component when both hard processor system capabilities and flexible FPGA logic are required in a single die. Compare resource utilization against the 5AGXMB series if higher logic density is needed. Evaluate power consumption profiles relative to the 5ASX series if SoC integration is not strictly necessary for the design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Arria V GX family, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring moderate performance. It bridges the gap between lower-end Cyclone devices and high-end Stratix families. The GX variant specifically targets applications needing reliable serial connectivity without the extreme bandwidth of Stratix V.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same package and pinout include other Arria V GX variants such as 5AGXBB3D4F40C5G. Verify electrical specifications and feature sets match exactly. Cross-family migration to Agilex or Stratix requires significant redesign due to architectural differences.
