10AS016E4F27E3SG

Overview

The Altera 10AS016E4F27E3SG is an Arria 10 SX 160 SoC FPGA featuring a hardened dual-core 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 high-speed transceivers capable of 17.4 Gb/s data rates. Operating at a core voltage range of 870 mV to 980 mV with a typical value of 950 mV, it functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +100°C. The component is housed in a 672-ball FBGA package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a hardened dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor subsystem for system control and OS execution alongside high-density programmable logic resources.
• Provides extensive embedded memory capacity to support complex buffering and data storage requirements within the fabric.
• Features multiple high-speed serial transceivers designed for bandwidth-intensive interconnect applications and protocol acceleration.

Applications

• High-performance networking equipment requiring multi-gigabit packet processing
• Industrial automation controllers utilizing hardware-software co-design
• Medical imaging systems demanding low-latency signal processing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm package type, speed grade, and industrial temperature rating. Ensure compliance with export control classifications such as ECCN 3A991 before procurement. Confirm availability through authorized distributors as supply levels fluctuate.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of moderate logic density and integrated processing capability is required. Compare against other Arria 10 variants based on the number of required transceivers and I/O count. Verify that the 672-ball FBGA footprint fits the target board layout constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Arria 10 SX family, which targets cost-sensitive yet performance-critical applications. It shares architectural similarities with other 160k LE devices but differs in package options and transceiver counts. It serves as a mid-range solution between smaller MAX 10 devices and larger Stratix 10 FPGAs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other Arria 10 SX 160 variants with compatible pinouts, such as 10AS016E3F27I2SG or 10AS016E3F27E2SG, provided speed grades and temperature ranges match the design requirements.
