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 regulations as this component may require authorization for international shipment. Confirm RoHS status and moisture sensitivity levels prior to assembly planning.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of moderate logic density and significant serial connectivity is required. Compare against other Arria 10 variants based on the number of transceivers needed; this part offers 12 channels. Verify that the 672-pin FBGA footprint fits the target PCB design constraints and thermal management requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria 10 SX family, designed for cost-sensitive yet performance-critical applications. It shares architectural similarities with larger Arria 10 devices but offers reduced resource counts. The 'SX' designation indicates a focus on balanced performance and power efficiency compared to the higher-end GX or HS families.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements are limited within the same series. Consider models like 10AS016E3F27I1HG or 10AS016E3F27I2SG if speed grades differ. Verify functional equivalence of the HPS subsystem and transceiver configurations before substituting.
