A5EB013BB23BE5S

Overview

The Altera A5EB013BB23BE5S is an Agilex 5 E-Series System on Chip (SoC) FPGA. It integrates a programmable fabric with 138,000 logic elements and a Hard Processor System (HPS). The HPS features a dual-core ARM Cortex-A76 cluster and a dual-core ARM Cortex-A55 MPCore cluster, both equipped with CoreSight debug interfaces. The device operates at clock speeds of up to 1.8 GHz for the A76 cores and 1.5 GHz for the A55 cores. It is housed in a 795-ball VPBGA package measuring 23x23 mm, providing 400 general-purpose I/Os and 512 kB of embedded RAM.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'BE5' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm the commercial temperature range (0°C to 100°C TJ) and packaging type. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor databases to ensure authenticity and check for recent Product Change Notifications regarding label or material updates.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of moderate logic density (138K LEs) and high-performance application processing is required. Compare against the A5EA variant for lower cost options or the A5EC variant for higher density. Ensure the 795-pin footprint fits the target PCB layout and that the power supply design supports the dynamic current requirements of the 1.8 GHz processor cluster.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Agilex 5 E-Series, designed for power-efficient edge computing. It utilizes the second-generation Hyperflex architecture and includes Enhanced DSP blocks with AI Tensor capabilities. The series targets applications requiring scalable performance with improved performance-per-watt metrics compared to previous generation 16 nm competitors.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the same package are limited to other Agilex 5 E-Series devices with identical logic density and pin counts, such as the A5EA013BB23BE5S if temperature ranges align. Verify software compatibility and bitstream differences before substituting.
