It integrates 350K logic elements, 64KB RAM, and supports speeds up to 800MHz. The device provides 208 MCU I/Os and 540 FPGA I/Os within a 1517-FBGA package (40x40mm). Operating voltage ranges from 1.07V to 1.13V, with a junction temperature range of 0°C to 85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore processor with CoreSight for embedded control
• Combines 350K FPGA logic elements with high-speed processing capabilities
• Supports diverse connectivity including Ethernet, USB OTG, and standard serial interfaces

Applications

• Industrial automation controllers requiring embedded processing and programmable logic
• Medical imaging systems utilizing high-speed data acquisition and processing
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment needing flexible interface support

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C5G' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm commercial grade temperature rating and RoHS compliance status. Ensure compatibility with Quartus Prime software versions supporting the Arria V family before ordering. Confirm package dimensions match the 1517-FBGA specification for PCB layout integration.

Selection Notes

Select this model when both embedded ARM processing and substantial FPGA fabric are required in a single component. Compare against the 5AGX series if higher logic density or different I/O counts are needed. Verify that the 800MHz processor speed meets system timing requirements and that the 1517-pin count fits the board space constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Arria V SX family, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring moderate performance. It bridges the gap between pure FPGAs and microcontrollers by integrating a hard processor system. The Arria V series utilizes advanced process technology to deliver efficient power consumption relative to its logic capacity.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other Arria V SX variants with similar pin counts but different logic densities, such as the 5ASXBB3D4F40C5G. Cross-family migration to Agilex or Stratix requires significant design re-verification due to architectural differences.
