Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I5' against official datasheets to confirm the exact speed grade and temperature rating, as minor alphanumeric changes can alter electrical characteristics. Confirm moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) handling requirements during assembly. Check for recent Product Change Notifications regarding label or packaging updates before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of high-performance application processing via Cortex-A76 and efficient control tasks via Cortex-A55 is required within a compact footprint. Compare pin counts and I/O availability against larger variants like the A5EA013BB23BI6S if additional connectivity is needed. Ensure the 795-pin BGA layout fits the target PCB design constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Agilex 5 E-Series, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring significant programmable logic alongside embedded processing. It shares the same processor core architecture as other Agilex 5E devices but differs in logic density and package options. The part number structure indicates the 138K LE capacity and the specific 795-pin package variant.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes within the same package include the A5EA013BB23BI6S, which offers the same logic density and processor cores but may differ in speed grading or temperature range. Verify pin compatibility and thermal specifications before swapping.
