Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix C6G against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm temperature grade and packaging details. Confirm current availability status as some Arria V variants may be subject to end-of-life notices or production changes. Ensure compatibility with existing board designs regarding pinout and power requirements before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when both substantial FPGA fabric density and embedded processing are required in a single chip. Compare logic element counts and transceiver speeds against alternative Arria V sizes. Verify that the 1152-pin footprint fits the target PCB constraints and that the thermal dissipation characteristics meet the application's environmental limits.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Arria V SX family, which combines FPGA fabric with ARM Cortex-A9 processors. It sits between the lower-density ST series and higher-performance GX/SX models. The 5ASXBB5 designation indicates a specific logic density tier within the SX portfolio, optimized for cost-sensitive applications requiring moderate performance.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other Arria V SX parts with similar logic densities such as 5ASXFB5G4F35C5N, though pinouts and features may differ. Consider Arria 10 devices for future-proofing if migration is feasible. Verify software toolchain compatibility when substituting within the same family.
