Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix E3 against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm the exact speed grade and commercial temperature rating. Ensure compatibility with existing board designs regarding the UBGA-484 footprint and power delivery requirements for the 0.9V core voltage. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current manufacturer declarations before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of moderate logic density and embedded processing capability is required. Compare resource availability against higher-capacity Arria 10 variants if future scalability is anticipated. Evaluate the pin count and transceiver availability against interface requirements to ensure sufficient connectivity for target protocols without over-specifying the device.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria 10 SX family, designed for bandwidth-intensive and compute-intensive applications. It sits between lower-end Cyclone devices and higher-end Stratix families, offering a specialized architecture combining ARM processors with FPGA fabric. The SX variant typically targets cost-sensitive yet performance-critical markets compared to the GX or GT series.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements are limited due to unique pinouts and architectural differences. Consider Arria 10 SX models with identical U19 packages and similar LE counts, such as 10AS016C4U19I3SG, after verifying electrical and thermal parameter alignment. Cross-family migration requires significant redesign.
