Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'R0' against official Altera documentation to confirm any unique manufacturing or revision details not covered in standard datasheets. Confirm package availability and lead times directly with authorized distributors as supply chain conditions vary. Ensure compatibility with existing board designs regarding the 3184-BGA footprint and thermal requirements before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a combination of ARM-based processing and substantial FPGA resources is required. Compare against other Agilex I variants based on specific logic element counts and pinout requirements. Verify that the 1.4GHz processor speed and 256KB RAM meet the application's computational and memory constraints. Check for necessary IP licenses for supported interfaces like Ethernet or USB.

Part Context

This component is part of the Agilex I family, designed for mid-range applications balancing performance and power efficiency. It shares architectural similarities with other Agilex devices but offers specific resource levels tailored for cost-sensitive yet capable embedded systems. The Agilex portfolio targets industries needing flexible hardware acceleration alongside software-defined functionality.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements may include other Agilex I SoC models with similar logic densities and processor configurations. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility if substituting within the same package type. Consider functional equivalents from the broader Agilex family if interface requirements differ slightly.
