2.3.5. Package B23A

Figure 8. Consideration Details

The B23A package is available in Device Group B with Device Specification of A, B, C, D, and E while Device Group A with Device Specification of C and D. All devices within the B23A package are available with the same HVIO and HSIO resource count. Support for transceiver and HPS depends on the Device Specification of the selected device. The considerations taken when migrating between this package depends on which Device Specification you are migrating to.

Refer to the following examples to understand the areas that require consideration when planning for migration within the B23A package.

Examples:
  • Device Group A supports Smart VID voltage regulator while Device Group B supports fixed voltage regulator. You must consider the power regulator requirements when migrating between these devices.
  • If you are migrating from Device Specification C of A5E008B to Device Specification D of A5E028B devices, then you are migrating from non-HPS supported device to HPS supported device. You also need to consider migrating from 4 Transceiver channels supported device to 12 channels supported device for this migration scenario.
  • If you are migrating from Device Specification B of A5E008B to Device Specification E of A5E028B devices, then you are migrating from Quad HPS supported device to Dual HPS supported device.

The following table summarizes the areas that require consideration when planning migration within the B23A package. Refer to Functional Area for more details on each area.
