Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I5G' against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm the commercial temperature grade and package variant. Ensure compatibility with the required PCB footprint and thermal management solutions for the 1517-FBGA package. Cross-reference the part number with official Intel/Altera distribution channels to avoid counterfeit components.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a combined CPU and FPGA solution is needed within the Arria V SX family. Compare logic density and memory capacity against higher-end Arria V devices if more resources are required. Verify that the 800MHz processor speed meets the application's timing constraints and that the 1517-pin package fits the board design.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria V SoC SX series, designed for applications balancing processing power with programmable logic. It sits between the lower-density Cyclone V and the higher-performance Arria V GX/SX families. The SX variant specifically targets cost-sensitive applications requiring moderate logic resources and integrated ARM processors.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same package and pinout are limited due to specific suffix variations. Consider the 5ASXBB3D4F40C5G for similar specifications but verify the operating temperature range difference. Higher performance upgrades may require redesigning the PCB layout.
