• Provides extensive embedded memory resources including SRAM blocks and hard processor system memory interfaces
• Features multiple high-speed transceivers supporting serial data rates for communication and interface protocols

Applications

• Industrial automation controllers requiring deterministic logic and processing integration
• Medical imaging systems needing high-bandwidth data acquisition and real-time processing
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment utilizing serial transceiver capabilities

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to end-of-life status. Check for Process Change Notifications (PCNs) affecting pinout or electrical characteristics. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling requirements during storage and assembly. Validate that the specific suffix matches design specifications as legacy stock may vary in revision history.

Selection Notes

Compare logic density and memory capacity against current Intel Agilex or Cyclone V families for modern alternatives. Evaluate power consumption profiles relative to thermal constraints in the target enclosure. Assess software toolchain compatibility with existing Quartus Prime designs. Consider lead times and availability risks associated with discontinued product lines when finalizing the bill of materials.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Arria V SoC SX family, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring both soft-core or hard-core processing and FPGA flexibility. It bridges the gap between pure FPGAs and application-specific integrated circuits by combining ARM processing subsystems with reconfigurable logic arrays.

Replacement Considerations

Official substitutes include the 5ASXMB3G4F40C4N within the same Arria V SoC SX series. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and feature parity before substitution. Consult Intel documentation for migration guides from Arria V to newer generations if long-term supply security is required.
