A5EA008BB23BE6S

Overview

The Altera A5EA008BB23BE6S is an Agilex™ 5E System-on-Chip FPGA featuring a dual-core ARM Cortex-A76 processor and a dual-core ARM Cortex-A55 MPCore, both equipped with CoreSight debug infrastructure. It integrates 85K logic elements within the FPGA fabric and includes 512kB of embedded RAM. The device supports operating frequencies up to 1.8GHz for the application processor and 1.5GHz for the real-time processor. It utilizes a 839-VPBGA package (23x23 mm) with 264 I/Os, designed for high-performance embedded applications requiring combined processing and programmable logic capabilities.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'BE6S' against official Altera documentation to confirm package type, temperature range, and speed grade. Ensure compatibility with Quartus Prime Pro software versions supporting the Agilex 5E family. Check moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) requirements for board assembly processes.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of high-performance application processing via Cortex-A76 and deterministic control via Cortex-A55 is required alongside FPGA flexibility. Compare against the A5EC variant if different speed grades or package options are needed. Verify that the 839-pin VPBGA footprint fits the target PCB design constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Agilex 5 E-Series, which targets cost-sensitive yet performance-demanding markets. It shares architectural similarities with other Agilex 5 devices but offers specific logic density and processor configurations tailored for embedded SoC applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the Agilex 5E family should be verified using Intel's device migration guides. Consider the A5EC008BB23AE6S for potential speed or package variations, but confirm functional equivalence through official cross-reference tools.
