10AS027E1F29I1HG

Overview

The Altera 10AS027E1F29I1HG is an Arria 10 SX SoC FPGA featuring a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 Hard Processor System (HPS) with a maximum clock frequency of 1.2 GHz. The programmable logic fabric provides 270,000 logic elements and 101,620 adaptive logic modules. It includes 14.65 Mbit of embedded memory and twelve high-speed transceivers. The device utilizes an F29 package for surface-mount installation.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor with the programmable logic fabric for hardware-software co-design
• Supports secure boot with Elliptical Curve Digital Signature Authentication and layered public key infrastructure
• Consolidates processing, I/O, and custom acceleration on a single device to reduce board complexity

Applications

• Industrial automation systems requiring control-plane and data-plane functions
• Automotive embedded applications utilizing system management capabilities
• Communications systems employing Ethernet MAC cores and high-speed transceivers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm package type and temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with the Arria 10 device family configuration schemes. Consult current product change notifications for any manufacturing updates affecting this part number before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a balance of moderate logic density and integrated processing is required. The 1.2 GHz HPS speed suits applications not demanding the highest performance tiers available in larger Arria 10 devices. Evaluate the twelve transceiver count against interface requirements to ensure sufficient connectivity for the target design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Arria 10 SX series, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring significant logic resources and embedded processing. It sits below higher-density models like the 10AS032 in terms of logic elements while maintaining the same core architecture and transceiver capabilities typical of the 20nm process node.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same package and electrical characteristics are limited. Consider adjacent densities in the Arria 10 SX family, such as the 10AS022 or 10AS032, if pinout compatibility allows. Verify that any alternative maintains the required HPS clock frequency and transceiver count.
