Applications

• Bandwidth-sensitive network infrastructure equipment
• Compute-intensive industrial automation controllers
• High-speed signal processing accelerators

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the official datasheet to confirm temperature grade and package variant compatibility. Ensure that any required export documentation is prepared in advance, as this component may be subject to export control regulations depending on the destination region. Confirm lead times directly with authorized distributors due to potential supply chain variability.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of moderate logic density and integrated processing capability is required. Compare resource utilization against the 10AS032 series if higher logic capacity or additional transceiver channels are needed. Verify that the UBGA-484 footprint aligns with the target PCB design constraints and thermal management requirements for the intended application environment.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria 10 SX family, which targets cost-sensitive yet performance-demanding markets. It sits below the larger Arria 10 GX and AX families in terms of transceiver count and logic density but offers significant integration by combining FPGA fabric with an ARM processor subsystem on a single die.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the same package and speed grade are limited within the Arria 10 portfolio. Consider the 10AS016C3U19E2LG for similar logic resources but verify transceiver channel counts and temperature ranges carefully. Cross-family migration to Cyclone V or Agilex requires significant redesign.
