Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 5ASXMB5G4F40C4 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Core Processor: Dual ARM® Cortex®-A9 MPCore™ with CoreSight™ (fixed across all substitutes)
• FPGA Logic Elements: 462K (fixed across all substitutes)
• RAM Size: 64KB (fixed across all substitutes)
• Peripherals: DMA, POR, WDT (fixed across all substitutes)
• Connectivity: EBI/EMI, Ethernet, I²C, MMC/SD/SDIO, SPI, UART/USART, USB OTG (fixed across all substitutes)
• Operating Temperature: 0°C ~ 85°C (TJ) (fixed across all substitutes)
• Number of I/O: MCU - 208, FPGA - 540 (fixed across all substitutes)

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Package / Case: 1517-BBGA, FCBGA (fixed across all substitutes)
• Supplier Device Package: 1517-FBGA, FC (40x40) (fixed across all substitutes)

Variable Parameters (Substitution Basis):

• Speed: 925MHz (main part), 800MHz, or 700MHz (substitute variants)
• Product Status: Obsolete (main part) vs. Active (all substitutes)
• Packaging Type: Unspecified (main part) vs. Tray (all substitutes)

Substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and standardized tray packaging. Speed variants at 800MHz and 700MHz provide functional alternatives for applications with reduced frequency requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent (Same Speed - 925MHz):

The 5ASXMB5G4F40C4G is the primary direct substitute for the obsolete 5ASXMB5G4F40C4. This part maintains identical electrical specifications including 925MHz operating frequency, 462K FPGA logic elements, and all connectivity interfaces. The only difference is active product status and standardized tray packaging. This part is recommended for applications requiring no design modifications.

The 5ASXFB5H4F40C4G provides an alternative 925MHz equivalent with identical performance characteristics and active status.

Speed-Reduced Alternatives (800MHz and 700MHz):

For applications where reduced processor frequency is acceptable, the following parts provide active alternatives:

• 5ASXBB5D4F40C5G (800MHz)
• 5ASXFB5H4F40C5G (800MHz)
• 5ASXMB5G4F40C5G (800MHz)
• 5ASXBB5D6F40C6G (700MHz)
• 5ASXFB5H6F40C6G (700MHz)
• 5ASXMB5G6F40C6G (700MHz)

All substitute parts maintain RoHS compliance and identical MSL ratings. All substitute parts carry Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain support compared to the Obsolete status of the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a 800MHz or 700MHz variant as a direct replacement for the 925MHz part?

A: Speed-reduced variants (800MHz and 700MHz) are electrically and mechanically compatible with the 925MHz original part. However, they operate at lower processor frequencies. Applications with timing-critical requirements or those dependent on 925MHz performance specifications require the 925MHz variants (5ASXMB5G4F40C4G or 5ASXFB5H4F40C4G).

Q: Are all substitute parts pin-compatible with the original 5ASXMB5G4F40C4?

A: Yes. All substitute parts use the identical 1517-FBGA, FC (40x40) package with 1517-BBGA, FCBGA case designation. Pin count and I/O configuration remain constant across all variants: MCU - 208 I/O and FPGA - 540 I/O.

Q: What is the difference between the various part number prefixes (5ASXMB5G, 5ASXBB5D, 5ASXFB5H)?

A: The part number prefixes indicate different device variants within the Arria V SX family. All variants listed maintain identical core specifications: Dual ARM® Cortex®-A9 MPCore™ with CoreSight™, 462K FPGA logic elements, 64KB RAM, and identical peripheral and connectivity features. The prefixes reflect internal architectural or configuration differences that do not affect functional compatibility for standard applications.

Q: Why is the original part marked as Obsolete?

A: The 5ASXMB5G4F40C4 carries Obsolete status, indicating Intel has discontinued active production and support. All listed substitute parts carry Active status, ensuring continued availability, technical support, and supply chain reliability for new designs and ongoing production.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between the original and substitute parts?

A: All parts maintain RoHS compliance and identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) ratings of 3 (168 Hours). All substitute parts carry REACH Unaffected status. These certifications ensure equivalent environmental and regulatory compliance across all variants.

Q: What packaging format is available for the substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts are supplied in Tray packaging, providing standardized handling and storage compared to the unspecified packaging of the original part. Tray packaging is standard for high-pin-count FBGA components and ensures consistent component protection during transport and storage.

Q: Can I mix different speed variants in the same system?

A: All speed variants (925MHz, 800MHz, 700MHz) maintain identical electrical interfaces, peripheral configurations, and I/O specifications. System-level compatibility depends on application timing requirements. Designs with heterogeneous processor speed requirements must account for frequency-dependent timing in inter-processor communication and synchronization logic.
