• Supports multiple memory interface standards including DDR2, DDR3, LPDDR, and QDR II for flexible system integration.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust signal processing
• Automotive electronics applications
• Medical imaging and diagnostic equipment
• High-speed network communication infrastructure
• Digital signal processing implementations

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation to confirm the operating temperature range and speed grade. The I5N suffix indicates industrial-grade wide temperature operation (-40°C to 100°C). Ensure compatibility with existing design tools and confirm availability status as production cycles may vary. Cross-reference official datasheets for pinout accuracy before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of moderate logic density and high-speed serial connectivity is required. The 28nm process offers power efficiency advantages over older technologies. Consider the 544 I/O count for board space constraints. Compare against the 5AGXFA3 series for lower logic needs or the 5AGXFA7 series for higher performance requirements within the same package footprint.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria V GX family, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring significant I/O bandwidth. It sits between the smaller Cyclone V devices and the larger Stratix IV families in terms of performance and capacity. The F35 package variant provides a standardized form factor for mid-range FPGA deployments in industrial and commercial sectors.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other Arria V GX variants such as 5AGXFA3H4F35I5G or 5AGXFA7H4F35I5G, which share the same package but differ in logic density. Verify that any substitute maintains the required transceiver count and memory configuration to ensure functional equivalence in the target application.
