5ASXMB5E4F31C4N

Overview

The Altera 5ASXMB5E4F31C4N is a System-on-Chip FPGA from the Arria V SX series, integrating dual ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore processors with CoreSight technology. It features an 896-ball BBGA/FCBGA package and supports a maximum processor speed of 800MHz. The device includes 64kB of RAM and provides 208 MCU I/Os alongside 250 FPGA I/Os. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 100°C (TJ) and has a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 3 (168 hours).

Feature Summary

• Integrates dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore processors with CoreSight debug support for embedded control.
• Combines programmable logic fabric with hard processor system capabilities in a single SoC architecture.
• Supports diverse connectivity interfaces including Ethernet, USB OTG, SPI, UART, and MMC/SD.

Applications

• Industrial automation controllers requiring real-time processing and programmable logic.
• Medical imaging systems needing high-speed data acquisition and processing.
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment utilizing embedded networking protocols.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C4N' against official Intel/Altera documentation, as public records predominantly list 'C4G' or 'I3G' variants for this package. Confirm RoHS compliance status and MSL rating directly with the supplier. Ensure the component matches the Arria V SX family specifications before integration into production designs.

Selection Notes

Select this model when both embedded processing and flexible logic are required in a compact form factor. Compare against the Arria V GX series if transceiver density is more critical than processor integration. Evaluate thermal performance within the specified -40°C to 100°C operating range for your specific enclosure constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria V SX family, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring moderate logic density and embedded processing. It sits between the Cyclone V and Stratix V families in terms of performance and feature set, targeting mid-range market segments.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly available substitute part numbers for the exact 5ASXMB5E4F31C4N variant are not confirmed in standard distributor catalogs. Consider the 5ASXMB5E4F31C4G or 5ASXMB5E4F31I3G as potential functional equivalents within the same package, subject to electrical specification verification.
