5ASXBB3D4F35I5N

Overview

The Altera 5ASXBB3D4F35I5N is a System on Chip FPGA from the Arria V SX family, integrating dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore processors with CoreSight debug support. It features 350,000 logic elements and 16.88 Mbit of embedded memory within an 1152-pin FBGA package. The processor cores operate at a maximum frequency of 1.05 GHz, supported by 64 KB of RAM. The device includes nine high-speed transceivers and supports industrial operating temperatures ranging from -40°C to +100°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore processors for embedded control tasks alongside programmable logic fabric
• Provides extensive connectivity through integrated Ethernet, USB OTG, SPI, I2C, UART/USART, and MMC/SD/SDIO interfaces
• Includes hardware peripherals such as DMA controllers, Power-On Reset (POR), and Watchdog Timer (WDT) for system reliability

Applications

• Industrial automation systems requiring combined processing and real-time control
• Medical imaging equipment utilizing embedded vision and signal processing
• Automotive infotainment and instrument cluster displays
• Telecommunications infrastructure nodes requiring protocol acceleration

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I5N' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm the industrial temperature range (-40°C to +100°C) and speed grade. Ensure compatibility with the 1152-pin FBGA footprint during PCB layout. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) requirements for your assembly process before ordering.

Selection Notes

Compare this model against other Arria V SX variants based on required logic density and transceiver count. Verify that the 350K LE capacity meets design complexity without excessive overhead. Check if the 1.05 GHz processor speed suffices for application latency requirements. Consider thermal management solutions suitable for the 1152-pin package in enclosed environments.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria V SX SoC FPGA family, designed for cost-sensitive applications needing moderate performance. It bridges the gap between standard FPGAs and complex SoCs by embedding ARM processors directly into the silicon. The series targets markets where power efficiency and integration density are critical constraints.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package may include other Arria V SX devices with matching or higher logic counts, such as the 5ASXBB3D4F35I5G. Verify electrical specifications and temperature ranges when substituting. Cross-family migration to Agilex or Stratix requires significant redesign.
