Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix BE5S against official datasheets to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics. Confirm moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) and storage requirements prior to assembly. Check for recent Product Change Notifications regarding label or packaging updates from Intel/Altera.

Selection Notes

Select this model for designs requiring asymmetric multi-core processing with high-performance A76 cores alongside efficient A55 cores. Ensure the 795-VPBGA footprint fits the PCB layout constraints. Compare logic element density against lower-density variants like A5EA005 if resource usage is minimal.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Agilex 5 E-Series, which targets power-efficient edge applications. It utilizes the second-generation Hyperflex architecture and offers improved performance-per-watt compared to previous generation 16 nm competitors. The series emphasizes scalability across densities ranging from 50KLE to 656KLE.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Evaluate other Agilex 5E models such as A5EA013BB23BI6S for temperature range variations or different package options.
