Soc System On Chip Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I6X' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm temperature grade and package variant, as distributor listings may vary. Confirm moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) and handling requirements prior to assembly. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to ensure authenticity and traceability.

Soc System On Chip Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring high-frequency CPU performance alongside programmable logic. Compare the 85K LE density against smaller variants like the A5EA005 if resource constraints exist. Ensure the 839-VPBGA footprint fits the PCB design. Validate that the required peripheral interfaces (PCIe, DDR) are supported by the specific speed grade selected.

Soc System On Chip Part Context

This component belongs to the Agilex 5 E-Series, designed for cost-sensitive embedded applications. It bridges the gap between traditional FPGAs and SoCs by integrating hard processor systems. The series targets migration from previous generations like Arria 10, offering improved DSP efficiency through tensor block integration.

Soc System On Chip 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 pinout. Verify compatibility with existing software drivers for the ARM cores when substituting with different speed grades or memory configurations.
