5ASXBB5D4F40C5N

Overview

The Altera 5ASXBB5D4F40C5N is a System on Chip (SoC) device belonging to the Arria V SX FPGA series. It integrates a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore processor with CoreSight technology and an FPGA fabric containing 462K logic elements. The component operates at a maximum frequency of 800MHz and includes 64KB of RAM. It features 208 MCU I/Os and 540 FPGA I/Os, housed in a 1517-FBGA package measuring 40x40mm. The device supports interfaces including Ethernet, USB OTG, SPI, and UART, functioning within a junction temperature range of 0°C to 85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore processors with CoreSight debugging capabilities alongside a high-density FPGA fabric.

Applications

• Industrial automation controllers requiring embedded processing and programmable logic.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'N' against official Intel/Altera documentation, as standard listings often utilize suffixes like 'G'. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) for handling requirements. Ensure the source document explicitly identifies this exact part number variant rather than a similar family member.

Selection Notes

Select this SoC when both hard processor system execution and flexible FPGA logic are required in a single package. Compare logic element counts and I/O availability against other Arria V SX variants to ensure sufficient resources for the target design complexity and interface requirements.

Part Context

This component is part of the Arria V SX family, which targets cost-sensitive applications requiring moderate performance. It combines the processing power of ARM cores with the parallelism of FPGA logic, distinguishing it from pure FPGA or pure MCU solutions within the broader Intel programmable portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers for the 5ASXBB5D4F40C5N were not found in the provided reference material. Consult official Intel lifecycle notifications for end-of-life status or recommended migration paths to Agilex or Stratix families if discontinuation is indicated.
