10AS016C3U19I2LG

Overview

The Altera 10AS016C3U19I2LG is an Arria 10 SX 160 SoC FPGA housed in a UBGA-484 package. It integrates a hardened processing subsystem with dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processors and programmable logic containing 160,000 Logic Elements (LEs) or 61,510 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs). The device features 8.59 Mbits of embedded memory and six high-speed transceivers supporting data rates up to 17.4 Gb/s. It operates within a core voltage range of 870 mV to 980 mV and supports a maximum frequency of 1.5 GHz across 288 I/O pins.

Feature Summary

• Integrates dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 hard processor system for software execution alongside programmable logic
• Provides high-density adaptive logic modules for complex digital signal processing and protocol acceleration
• Includes multiple high-speed serial transceivers for demanding interconnect applications

Applications

• High-performance networking equipment requiring multi-gigabit interface support
• Industrial automation systems utilizing hardware-software co-design
• Medical imaging devices needing low-latency signal processing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm temperature grade and speed bin accuracy. Ensure compliance with export control classifications such as ECCN EAR99 before procurement. Confirm that the UBGA-484 package handling requirements align with your manufacturing capabilities.

Selection Notes

Select this model when the design requires approximately 160k LEs combined with embedded ARM processing capabilities. Evaluate the six available transceiver lanes against bandwidth requirements. Compare power consumption profiles at the target operating frequency against alternative Arria 10 variants to ensure thermal constraints are met.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria 10 SX family, which targets cost-sensitive yet performance-critical applications. The SX series balances logic density with integrated processing, distinguishing it from the higher-end GX and MX families. It serves as a bridge between standard FPGAs and full SoC solutions.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other Arria 10 SX 160 variants with compatible pinouts, such as 10AS016E3U19I2LG. Verify that any substitute maintains the same U19 package footprint and transceiver count to avoid PCB redesign.
