Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix I5N confirms the industrial temperature range and speed grade required for your design environment. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level handling procedures during assembly. Check for any product change notices regarding labeling or packaging updates that may affect inventory management. Ensure the supplier provides traceability documentation for this discontinued series component.

Selection Notes

Compare the 1517-pin BGA footprint against available PCB space and routing constraints. Evaluate whether the 800 MHz processor speed meets real-time processing demands compared to higher-performance Agilex families. Assess if the 18 transceivers are sufficient for all required serial interfaces or if additional external PHYs are needed. Consider the availability of development tools and IP cores compatible with the Arria V architecture.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria V SX family, designed for cost-sensitive applications combining ARM processing with FPGA flexibility. It sits between the lower-end Arria V ST and the higher-performance GX/GT series in terms of transceiver count and power consumption. The 5ASXBB5 variant specifically denotes the 1517-ball package option within this series.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements are not available due to architectural differences. Consider Intel Agilex 3 or Agilex 5 devices for modern alternatives, though these require significant schematic and layout redesigns. Review Intel's migration guides for software compatibility when transitioning from Quartus Prime Standard Edition to newer versions.
