5ASXMB5E4F31C5G

Overview

The Altera 5ASXMB5E4F31C5G is a System on Chip (SoC) device belonging to the Arria V SX FPGA series. It integrates a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore processor with CoreSight debug support and an Arria V SX FPGA fabric containing 462K logic elements. The processor operates at a maximum frequency of 1.05GHz, while the FPGA section supports speeds up to 800MHz. The component features 64KB of RAM and provides 208 MCU I/Os alongside 250 FPGA I/Os. It is housed in an 896-ball BBGA package measuring 31x31 mm and is rated for commercial temperature operation from 0°C to 85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore processors with CoreSight technology for embedded processing capabilities within an FPGA SoC architecture.

Applications

• Embedded systems requiring combined processing and programmable logic
• Industrial control applications utilizing mixed-signal processing
• Communication infrastructure equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix C5G against official datasheets to confirm the commercial temperature range and speed grade. Ensure compatibility with the 896-ball FCBGA footprint during PCB layout. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest product change notices for any labeling or specification updates prior to finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a design requires both high-performance ARM processing and significant FPGA logic resources in a single package. Compare the 462K logic element count against alternative devices if higher capacity is needed. Verify that the 800MHz FPGA speed grade meets the timing requirements of the target application interface protocols.

Part Context

This component is part of the Arria V SX family, which targets cost-sensitive applications requiring moderate performance. It shares the same 896-pin package form factor as other variants in the series, such as the 5ASXBB3D4F31I5G, allowing for potential pin-compatible design strategies across different speed grades and temperature ranges within the same package type.

Replacement Considerations

The 5ASXMB5E4F31I5G serves as a verified industrial-grade replacement offering identical functionality but with an extended operating temperature range of -40°C to 100°C. Designers must verify thermal management requirements when substituting between commercial and industrial temperature grades.
