5ASXMB5E4F31I5G

Overview

The Altera 5ASXMB5E4F31I5G 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 contains 462K logic elements and operates at speeds up to 1.05GHz. It utilizes an 896-ball FBGA package measuring 31x31 mm. Key specifications include 64KB of RAM, support for DMA, POR, and WDT peripherals, and I/O counts of 208 for the MCU and 250 for the FPGA. Operating temperatures range from -40°C to 100°C TJ.

Feature Summary

• Integrates dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore with CoreSight into Arria V SX FPGA fabric
• Supports diverse connectivity including Ethernet, USB OTG, SPI, I2C, and MMC/SD/SDIO
• Provides hardware peripherals such as DMA, Power-On Reset, and Watchdog Timer

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 protocols

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official datasheets to confirm speed grade and temperature ratings. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts regarding the 896-FBGA footprint. Confirm that design tools support the Arria V family architecture before procurement. Check for any known errata related to memory controller interfaces in current revisions.

Selection Notes

Select this model when both significant logic capacity and embedded processing are required within a single component. Compare against the 5ASXBB series if lower logic density suffices for the application. Consider the 5ASXMB5E4F31I3G variant if higher clock speeds are necessary for performance-critical tasks. Evaluate power consumption profiles against system thermal constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria V SX SoC family, designed for applications balancing cost and performance. It combines the flexibility of FPGA technology with the efficiency of ARM processors. The family targets mid-range embedded systems requiring robust connectivity and real-time processing capabilities without separate discrete components.

Replacement Considerations
