5ASXBB3D4F40C4G

Overview

The Altera 5ASXBB3D4F40C4G is an Arria V SoC SX device integrating a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore processor with FPGA fabric. It features 350,000 logic elements and 16.88 Mbit of embedded memory. The processor cores operate at a maximum frequency of 1.05 GHz with 2 x 32 kB L1 instruction and data caches. The component utilizes a 1517-ball FCBGA package (40x40 mm) and supports operation within a junction temperature range of 0°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore processors with CoreSight debug support for embedded control applications.
• Provides high-density programmable logic with over 132,000 adaptive logic modules for complex digital design.
• Includes nine high-speed transceivers for serial communication interfaces.

Applications

• Industrial automation controllers requiring integrated processing and logic.
• Medical imaging systems utilizing high-speed data acquisition.
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C4' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm the commercial temperature grade and lead-free status. Cross-reference the part number with current product availability notices, as legacy Arria V components may have discontinuation notifications or limited supply constraints affecting procurement channels.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of moderate FPGA density and embedded processing is required. Compare against the 5ASXBB3D4F40C5G variant if industrial temperature ratings (-40°C to +85°C) are necessary instead of the commercial range. Ensure the 1517-ball package footprint fits the target PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria V SoC SX family, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring both soft-core or hard-core processing and FPGA flexibility. It sits below the larger MX and GX families in terms of transceiver count but offers significant integration for system-on-chip implementations.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed direct substitutes are not available due to the discontinued status of the Arria V family. Designers must evaluate migration paths to Agilex or Stratix 10 families, which require schematic and layout redesigns rather than pin-to-pin replacements.
