5ASXMB5E4F31I3G

Overview

The Altera 5ASXMB5E4F31I3G is a System on Chip (SoC) integrating an Arria V SX Field Programmable Gate Array with a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore processor featuring CoreSight. The device operates at a maximum frequency of 1.05GHz and contains 462K logic elements. It is housed in an 896-FBGA package measuring 31x31 mm. The MCU subsystem includes 64KB of RAM, 208 I/Os, and peripherals such as DMA, POR, and WDT. The FPGA section provides 250 I/Os. The component supports industrial temperature ranges from -40°C to 100°C TJ.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore processor with CoreSight debugging capabilities alongside programmable logic fabric
• Combines high-density FPGA resources with embedded processing for complex system integration
• Supports diverse connectivity interfaces including Ethernet, USB OTG, SPI, UART, and MMC/SD/SDIO

Applications

• Industrial automation controllers requiring deterministic real-time processing
• Medical imaging systems needing low-latency data adaptation
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment utilizing embedded processing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I3G' against official datasheets to confirm the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to 100°C TJ) and speed grade (1.05GHz). Ensure compatibility with the 896-FBGA footprint during PCB design. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current manufacturer documentation before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this model when both significant FPGA logic capacity (462K LEs) and embedded ARM processing are required within a single package. Compare against the 5ASXBB series for lower density needs or the 5AGXMB series if transceiver capabilities are prioritized over embedded cores. Validate that the 896-ball BGA package fits the thermal and mechanical constraints of the target enclosure.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria V SX family, which targets cost-sensitive applications requiring moderate performance. It differs from the Arria V GX series by lacking high-speed transceivers but retaining embedded ARM processors. The part number structure indicates the SX variant, MB density tier, E speed grade, F31 package, I temperature range, and G RoHS compliance.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional equivalents within the same package and pinout are limited due to specific speed and density coding. Consider the 5ASXMB5E4F31I5G for identical packaging with potentially different speed grading. Cross-family migration to Agilex devices requires significant redesign.
