Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the official Arria V datasheet to ensure correct speed grade and temperature range. Confirm package availability and lead times directly with authorized distributors, as supply chain conditions vary. Ensure design files are compatible with the required Quartus Prime software version for this specific device variant.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a design requires both high-level application processing via ARM cores and hardware acceleration in the FPGA fabric. Compare logic density and transceiver counts against other Arria V variants to match performance needs without over-specifying. Evaluate power consumption profiles relative to the target thermal environment and cooling solution.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Arria V GX family, designed for applications needing high-speed connectivity and processing integration. It sits between the lower-density Arria V SX devices and higher-end Stratix V families, offering a balance of cost and performance for mid-range SoC FPGA applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same package and pinout include other Arria V GX devices with equivalent or higher logic density, such as the 5AGXBB3D4F35I5G. Verify functional compatibility and timing closure before substituting.
