Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix C6N against official Altera documentation to confirm package type and temperature grade. Confirm end-of-life status as distribution availability may be limited. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the 896-ball FCBGA package before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when both embedded ARM processing and significant FPGA logic resources are required in a single device. Compare logic density and memory capacity against other Arria V variants to ensure optimal cost-performance balance. Verify that the 384 I/O count meets interface requirements without excessive pin usage.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Arria V GX family, designed for cost-sensitive high-performance applications. It bridges the gap between standard FPGAs and complex SoCs by embedding ARM processors directly into the silicon. The GX series typically targets networking and industrial segments where moderate logic density is sufficient.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible upgrades within the Arria V family or Agilex series if available. Verify software compatibility with Quartus Prime versions supporting the Arria V architecture. Consider legacy support implications given the potential end-of-life status of the component.
