Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'X' against official datasheets to confirm package and temperature range variations. Check for Customer Advisory ADV0051 regarding potential firmware or hardware updates. Confirm moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) handling requirements during assembly. Ensure compatibility with Quartus Prime Pro software versions supporting the Agilex 5 family.

Selection Notes

Select this model for applications needing high-performance ARM cores alongside FPGA fabric. Compare logic element counts and I/O availability against other Agilex 5E variants like A5EC or A5EA series parts. Verify power supply requirements and thermal dissipation capabilities for the VPBGA package. Ensure design tools support the specific speed grades of 1.5GHz and 1.8GHz.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Agilex 5 E-Series, designed for cost-sensitive embedded markets. It shares architectural similarities with other Agilex devices but offers optimized performance-per-watt. The 'A5EA' prefix denotes the Agilex 5 E-Series classification, while '008' indicates the specific logic density tier within that family.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Agilex 5 E-Series parts with similar logic densities and package footprints, such as A5EC008BB23AE6S or A5EA005BB23BI4S, pending pinout and feature verification. Cross-referencing with Intel's official substitution guide is required.
