10AS016E3F29E1SG

Overview

The Altera 10AS016E3F29E1SG is an Arria 10 SX 160 SoC FPGA featuring a hardened ARM Cortex-A9 processing subsystem and programmable logic. It contains 160,000 Logic Elements (LEs), 61,510 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs), and 8.59 Mbit of embedded memory. The device supports up to 288 I/O pins and includes 12 transceivers with data rates up to 17.4 Gb/s. Operating voltage ranges from 870 mV to 980 mV, with a typical operating voltage of 950 mV. It functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +100°C and utilizes a 780-ball FBGA package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 Hard Processor System for control and OS execution alongside high-density programmable logic.
• Provides significant computational resources through over 61,000 ALMs and dedicated hardware multipliers for signal processing.
• Supports high-speed serial communication via multiple integrated transceivers capable of 17.4 Gb/s operation.

Applications

• Bandwidth-intensive network infrastructure equipment
• Compute acceleration cards requiring soft/hard co-design
• Industrial automation controllers with real-time processing needs

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix E1 against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm the exact commercial temperature grade and package variant. Ensure compatibility with the required Quartus Prime software version for the Arria 10 family before ordering. Confirm that the 780-ball FBGA footprint matches your PCB design constraints.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of moderate logic density and integrated processor capability is required. Compare against the 10AS032 series if higher logic capacity or memory is needed. Verify that the 12-transceiver count meets your interface requirements, as other variants may offer different channel counts.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria 10 SX family, designed for cost-sensitive, bandwidth-heavy applications. It shares architectural similarities with the broader Arria 10 portfolio but offers a specific resource configuration optimized for mid-range performance. It serves as a bridge between standard FPGAs and more complex Stratix devices.
