Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current product table to ensure compatibility with required speed grades and package options. Confirm that the selected variant matches the intended operating temperature range and pinout requirements for the target PCB design before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a combination of embedded ARM processing and moderate-to-high density FPGA logic is required within the Arria V architecture. Ensure the design utilizes the 1517-FBGA package constraints and accounts for the 800MHz processor clock limit during system timing analysis.

Part Context

This part number identifies a specific configuration within the Arria V SX SoC family, distinguished by its 680K LE capacity and 1517-ball package. It serves as a mid-range solution compared to smaller SX variants or larger ST/MX families, balancing processing power with FPGA resource availability for complex embedded applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same package and logic density are limited within the Arria V series. Consider migrating to the Arria 10 family for enhanced performance or newer architectures if future-proofing is required, noting significant differences in pinouts and software toolchains.
