• High-density logic architecture with over 12,000 ALMs for complex digital designs
• Integrated high-speed serial transceivers supporting multi-gigabit data transmission
• Substantial on-chip memory capacity for buffering and processing applications

Applications

• High-performance networking equipment requiring fast packet processing
• Industrial automation systems needing reliable programmable logic control
• Test and measurement instruments utilizing high-speed data acquisition

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix C5N against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm commercial grade classification and temperature ratings. Ensure compatibility with Quartus Prime software versions supporting the Arria V family before procurement. Check for end-of-life status or alternative sourcing options as availability may vary.

Selection Notes

Compare the 12,864 ALM count and 16 transceiver configuration against project requirements. Evaluate the 1152-pin FBGA package constraints for PCB layout. Consider power consumption at 1.1V operation relative to thermal management capabilities in the target enclosure.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria V SX series, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring significant logic density. It bridges the gap between lower-end Cyclone devices and higher-end Stratix families, offering a balance of performance and resource utilization for mid-range FPGA implementations.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the Arria V family include variants with different pin counts or speed grades. For legacy support, verify if Intel offers migration guides to Agilex or Stratix 10 families for long-term supply chain stability.
