10AS016E3F29I2SG

Overview

The Altera 10AS016E3F29I2SG is an Arria 10 SX System on Chip FPGA featuring a hardened dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processing subsystem and programmable logic. It provides approximately 160,000 Logic Elements and 61,510 Adaptive Logic Modules within a 780-ball FBGA package. The device integrates roughly 8.6 Mbit of embedded memory and includes 12 high-speed transceivers capable of data rates up to 17.4 Gb/s. Operating at a core voltage range of 0.87 V to 0.98 V, it supports industrial temperatures from -40°C to +100°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a hardened dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor with high-density programmable logic for unified system design
• Includes 12 high-speed serial transceivers supporting complex interconnects and protocol acceleration
• Features extensive embedded memory resources for efficient data buffering and storage

Applications

• High-performance networking equipment requiring multi-gigabit interface support
• Industrial automation controllers utilizing embedded processing and real-time logic
• Medical imaging systems demanding high bandwidth data throughput

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm package type, temperature grade, and speed grade. Ensure compliance with export control classifications such as ECCN 3A991 when sourcing internationally. Confirm that the component meets RoHS standards and check for any applicable shelf-life restrictions or moisture sensitivity levels prior to assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this variant for applications requiring a balance of processing power and moderate I/O density. Compare against other Arria 10 SX models based on the required number of transceiver lanes and logic capacity. Ensure the 780-ball FBGA footprint fits the board layout constraints and thermal management requirements for the intended operating environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Arria 10 SX family, designed for bandwidth-sensitive and compute-intensive applications. It combines the efficiency of an ARM processor with flexible FPGA fabric, targeting cost-optimized solutions in communications and industrial sectors without the higher resource counts found in the GX or MX series.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements are limited within the same package and feature set. Evaluate other Arria 10 SX variants with matching ball counts and transceiver counts. Cross-family migration to Agilex may require significant redesign.
