Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm speed grade, temperature range, and packaging variations. Ensure compatibility with the required Quartus Prime software version for the Agilex I family before ordering. Confirm that the selected variant meets all electrical specifications for the target operating environment.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of moderate logic density and powerful ARM processing is required. Compare against other Agilex I variants based on specific I/O count needs and transceiver requirements. Verify that the 1.4GHz processor speed aligns with the computational demands of the embedded software workload.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Intel Agilex I family, designed for mid-range applications bridging the gap between standard microprocessors and high-end FPGAs. It shares architectural similarities with other Agilex SoCs but offers distinct logic capacity and pinout configurations tailored for cost-sensitive embedded designs.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Intel migration guides for cross-family comparisons. Potential substitutes may include other Agilex I models with adjusted logic densities or speed grades. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility if replacing existing board designs.
