Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels due to potential supply chain variations. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) prior to assembly planning. Ensure proper handling procedures are followed to prevent electrostatic discharge damage during installation and storage.

Selection Notes

Compare against sibling models like 5ASXBB3D4F31C5G or 5ASXMB3E4F31I5G based on specific speed grades and temperature requirements. Evaluate if the 350K LE density meets design constraints before committing to this specific variant. Consider pin count compatibility with existing PCB footprints when selecting among the 896-pin family members.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria V SX family, designed for mid-range applications balancing performance and power efficiency. It sits between the lower-density ST series and higher-performance GX/MX families. The part number indicates specific package, speed grade, and commercial/industrial temperature rating distinctions within the broader Altera portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include 5ASXBB3D4F31C5G or 5ASXMB3E4F31I5G depending on required operating temperature range. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and software configuration file compatibility before substitution. Consult official obsolescence notices for long-term availability implications.
