10AS016C3U19I2SG

Overview

The Altera 10AS016C3U19I2SG is an Arria 10 SX 160 SoC FPGA manufactured by Intel. It integrates a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 Hard Processor System (HPS) with programmable logic containing 160,000 Logic Elements and 61,510 Adaptive Logic Modules. The device features 8.59 Mbit 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, with a typical operating voltage of 950 mV. The component is housed in a UBGA-484 package, supports SMD/SMT installation, and functions reliably between -40°C and +100°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a hardened dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processing subsystem for system control and software execution alongside the programmable fabric.
• Provides high-density adaptive logic modules and embedded memory resources suitable for complex digital signal processing and protocol acceleration.
• Includes multiple high-speed serial transceivers capable of chip-to-chip and backplane communications at multi-gigabit rates.

Applications

• Industrial automation systems requiring hardware-software co-design
• Automotive infotainment and instrument cluster processing
• Communications infrastructure equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Intel documentation to confirm temperature grade and package variations. Ensure compliance with export control classifications such as ECCN 3A991.d where applicable. Confirm moisture sensitivity levels and storage conditions prior to assembly to maintain component integrity during surface mount processes.

Selection Notes

Select this variant when the design requires the specific pin count and I/O density provided by the UBGA-484 package. Verify that the six available transceiver lanes meet the bandwidth requirements, as higher-performance Arria 10 variants offer more channels. Ensure the thermal solution accommodates the power consumption associated with the 160k LE fabric and HPS operation at the target frequency.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Arria 10 SX family, which targets cost-sensitive applications compared to the GX or MX series. It shares the same 20nm process technology and HPS architecture as other members but offers reduced transceiver counts. It serves as a bridge between standard FPGAs and high-end SoC devices, balancing performance with board-level complexity.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements are limited within the same package and speed grade. Consider the 10AS016C3U19E2LG for commercial temperature ranges or the 10AS016C4U19I3SG for extended temperature specifications. Verify pin compatibility and resource availability before substituting with other Arria 10 models.
