10AS016E3F29I1SG

Overview

The Altera 10AS016E3F29I1SG is an Arria 10 SX 160 SoC FPGA featuring a hardened dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processing subsystem and programmable logic. It provides 160,000 Logic Elements (LEs), 61,512 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs), and 8.59 Mbits of embedded memory. The device includes 288 I/O pins and twelve 17.4 Gb/s transceivers. Operating voltage ranges from 870 mV to 980 mV with a typical core voltage of 950 mV. It supports data rates up to 17.4 Gb/s and operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +100°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a hardened dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor subsystem for system control and OS execution alongside high-density programmable logic.
• Provides extensive on-chip memory resources including SRAM blocks and hard IP interfaces for external memory controllers.
• Features twelve high-speed serial transceivers supporting advanced modulation formats for chip-to-chip and backplane connectivity.

Applications

• High-performance networking equipment requiring multi-gigabit packet processing
• Industrial automation systems utilizing hardware acceleration for real-time control
• Medical imaging devices needing low-latency signal processing pipelines

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I1SG' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm package type and temperature grade. Ensure compliance with export regulations if applicable. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling requirements prior to assembly. Validate pinout compatibility with existing board designs using official mechanical drawings.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of moderate logic density and integrated processing capability is required. Compare resource availability against higher-capacity Arria 10 variants if future scalability is needed. Verify that the twelve transceiver count meets interface bandwidth requirements compared to models with fewer or more lanes.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria 10 SX family, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring significant computational throughput. It shares architectural similarities with other Arria 10 devices but offers a specific trade-off between logic capacity and power consumption suitable for mid-range embedded systems.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other Arria 10 SX 160 variants such as 10AS016E3F29I2SG or 10AS016E3F29E2SG, provided package and temperature specifications align. Cross-family migration to Stratix 10 requires significant design re-verification due to architectural differences.
