Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Intel/Altera documentation to ensure correct speed grade and package variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements prior to procurement. Ensure compatibility with existing board design guidelines for the 1517-FBGA package. Check for any recent Product Change Notifications regarding labeling or material composition updates.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a combined ARM processor and FPGA fabric is required for complex system integration. Evaluate the 462K logic element capacity against design resource utilization needs. Consider the 800MHz operating frequency for timing closure feasibility. Verify that the 1517-FBGA package dimensions fit within the mechanical constraints of the target enclosure.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Arria V SX family, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring significant logic density and embedded processing capabilities. It bridges the gap between standard FPGAs and general-purpose processors by integrating hard ARM cores directly onto the silicon die alongside the programmable fabric.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Intel replacement guides for direct equivalents. Cross-reference pinouts and electrical characteristics carefully if considering alternative logic densities within the same family.
