Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix E1 against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm speed grade and temperature range compatibility. Ensure the pin count matches the 672-pin FCBGA requirement for your PCB layout. Confirm ECCN classification 3A991 for export compliance requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this model when requiring 270K LEs with integrated ARM Cortex-A9 processing capabilities. Verify that the 12 transceiver lanes meet the interface bandwidth requirements for your specific application. Ensure the thermal design accommodates the power consumption profile associated with the 20nm process technology and target operating frequency.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria 10 SX family, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring significant logic density and embedded processing. It shares architectural similarities with other Generation 10 devices but offers specific resource configurations tailored for mid-range performance needs in industrial and communications sectors.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same package and pinout are limited. Consider higher or lower density variants in the Arria 10 SX series if pin compatibility allows. Cross-family migration to Agilex or Stratix requires significant redesign due to architectural differences.
