5ASXBB3D4F31C5G

Overview

The Altera 5ASXBB3D4F31C5G is an Arria V SX System on Chip FPGA featuring a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore processor with CoreSight. It integrates 350K logic elements within an 896-ball FCBGA package measuring 31x31 mm. The device operates at a maximum frequency of 925MHz and supports industrial temperature ranges from -40°C to 100°C TJ. Key peripherals include DMA, POR, and WDT, while connectivity options encompass Ethernet, I2C, SPI, UART/USART, USB OTG, and MMC/SD/SDIO interfaces.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore hard processor system with CoreSight debugging capabilities for embedded control tasks.
• Provides 350K logic elements for complex digital logic implementation alongside dedicated MCU and FPGA I/O resources.
• Supports high-speed serial communication through integrated transceivers and standard parallel interfaces like EBI/EMI.

Applications

• Industrial automation controllers requiring deterministic processing and field programmable logic.
• Medical imaging systems utilizing the SoC architecture for data acquisition and real-time processing.
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment employing Ethernet and USB OTG connectivity.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix C5G against official datasheets to confirm the industrial temperature range (-40°C to 100°C) and 925MHz speed grade. Ensure compatibility with the 896-FBGA (31x31) footprint during PCB layout. Confirm RoHS compliance status as listed in current manufacturer documentation before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a combined ARM processor and FPGA fabric is required within the Arria V SX density class. Compare against the C4G variant if a commercial temperature range suffices, or the I5G variant if a lower 800MHz frequency is acceptable. Validate that the 896-pin package meets board space constraints and that the 350K LE count satisfies design complexity requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Arria V SX family, designed for cost-sensitive applications balancing performance and power efficiency. It sits between the Cyclone V and Stratix V families in terms of capacity. The 5ASXBB3D4F31C5G specifically denotes the B-grade silicon, D-speed grade, F31 package, and C5G industrial temperature/speed variant within the broader Arria V portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package are limited due to specific speed and temperature grading differences. Consider the 5ASXBB3D4F31C4G for commercial temperature applications or the 5ASXBB3D4F31I5G for lower frequency requirements. Cross-family migration to Agilex or Stratix requires significant redesign.
