Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'N' against official Intel/Altera documentation, as standard listings often utilize 'G' or 'I' suffixes for RoHS compliance or temperature grades. Confirm availability status directly with authorized distributors, as lead times may vary significantly. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact package and speed grade required for the design.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of moderate FPGA resources and robust ARM processing is required. Compare against the 5ASXBB3 variant for lower logic counts or the 5ASXFB5 variant for higher performance in larger packages. Verify that the 896-pin FCBGA footprint aligns with the PCB layout constraints and thermal management capabilities of the target system.

Part Context

This component is part of the Arria V SoC portfolio, designed to merge hard processor systems with flexible FPGA logic. It shares the same package and core architecture as other variants in the 5ASXBB series, differing primarily in speed grades and temperature ratings. It serves as a mid-range solution within the Arria V ecosystem.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include 5ASXBB3D4F31C4G and 5ASXBB5D4F31C5G. These parts share identical pinouts and functional architectures but may differ in clock speed or commercial temperature ratings. Verify that the substitute part meets the specific thermal and timing requirements of the application.
