Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I5N' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm the exact temperature grade and package variant. Cross-reference with the Arria V SoC SX product table to ensure availability status and compliance with current environmental directives such as RoHS. Confirm moisture sensitivity level requirements for assembly processes.

Selection Notes

Compare this model against other Arria V SoC variants based on required logic element count and embedded memory size. Evaluate the necessity of the industrial temperature range versus commercial options. Assess if the specific pinout and ball count of the 1517 FCBGA package align with the target PCB design constraints and thermal management capabilities.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria V SoC family, which combines ARM processors with FPGA technology. It is part of the SX series, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring moderate performance. The device represents a transition point in Altera's portfolio before the introduction of newer Agilex architectures.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements may include other Arria V SoC SX devices with similar logic densities. Consider Arria 10 or Stratix 10 families for upgraded performance, though pin compatibility will differ. Verify functional equivalence through detailed datasheet comparison.
