Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I3G' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm pinout compatibility and lead-free status. Check for any recent Product Change Notices regarding label updates or packaging modifications before finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of moderate logic density and integrated processing power is required. Compare against the 5AGX series if higher transceiver counts are needed, or the Cyclone V series if cost reduction is the primary driver over performance.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria V ST family, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring significant processing capability. It shares the same silicon architecture as the SX and GX families but offers optimized resource allocation for mixed-signal and control-intensive tasks.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Arria V ST devices with equivalent logic counts, such as the 5ASTMD2 series. Verify package compatibility and thermal requirements when migrating between different density options within the same family.
