Procurement Notes

This component is officially classified as obsolete and no longer manufactured by Altera. Procurement must focus on verifying the authenticity of existing stock or surplus inventory from authorized distributors. Buyers should request full traceability documentation and condition reports due to the end-of-life status. Ensure that any available units meet current quality standards before integration into new designs.

Selection Notes

Engineers seeking this specific SoC architecture should consider its obsolescence when planning long-term production. While it offers integrated ARM cores and high-performance FPGAs, newer families may provide better power efficiency and support. Evaluate if the specific combination of Cortex-A9 processing and Arria V logic is strictly necessary or if a modern equivalent series meets the functional requirements without lifecycle risks.

Part Context

The 5ASTFD5K3F40I3N belongs to the Arria V ST family, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring system-level integration. Unlike standard FPGAs, this model embeds a hard processor system, reducing external component count. It targets markets needing compact solutions for control and data handling, bridging the gap between microprocessors and general-purpose FPGAs.
