Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I3G' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm industrial temperature rating and RoHS compliance status. Ensure that any required export authorization documents are prepared prior to ordering, as this component may be subject to US export regulations. Confirm current production status and availability through authorized distributors.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a combination of embedded ARM processing and significant FPGA fabric density is required in a single chip. Compare the 280,000 LE count and 9 transceiver configuration against alternative Arria V variants to ensure sufficient resource headroom. Verify that the 1152-ball FBGA package fits the target PCB layout constraints and thermal management requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Arria V SoC SX family, designed for applications demanding both processor performance and flexible logic implementation. It sits between lower-density models and higher-end variants like the 5ASXFB5G, offering a balance of cost and capability for mid-range system-on-chip designs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Arria V SoC SX devices such as 5ASXBB3D4F35I5G or 5ASXMB3E4F35I5G, provided pin compatibility and resource requirements align. Always verify pin-to-pin equivalence and electrical specifications before swapping components in existing designs.
