A5EA008BB23BI4S

Overview

The Altera A5EA008BB23BI4S is an Agilex 5E System-on-Chip FPGA featuring a dual-core ARM Cortex-A76 processor and a dual-core ARM Cortex-A55 MPCore processor, both equipped with CoreSight debug infrastructure. It integrates 50K logic elements within the FPGA fabric. The device operates at clock speeds of 1.5GHz for the Cortex-A55 cores and 1.8GHz for the Cortex-A76 cores. It includes 512kB of embedded RAM and supports peripherals such as DDR, DMA, PCIe, and WDT. The component is housed in a 795-VPBGA package measuring 23x23 mm and is rated for a junction temperature range of -40°C to 100°C.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I4S' against official Altera documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics. Confirm moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) handling requirements during assembly. Check for any active customer advisories, such as ADV0051, which may impact long-term availability or design implementation. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documents for this new product line.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of moderate FPGA capacity (50K LEs) and high-performance application processing is required. Compare I/O count (255 pins) against system interface requirements. Consider the 795-VPBGA footprint for PCB layout constraints. Evaluate thermal management solutions suitable for the 100°C TJ limit under maximum load conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Agilex 5 E-Series, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring efficient performance. It shares the same processor architecture as other variants in the series but differs in logic element count and package size. The 'A5EA' prefix denotes the 50K LE density class within the Agilex 5E family.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided source material. Cross-referencing with other Agilex 5E variants requires verification of pin-to-pin compatibility and functional equivalence through official datasheets.
