Procurement Notes

Verify the complete ordering part number against official Intel/Altera documentation to ensure correct speed grade and temperature rating. Confirm RoHS compliance status and export control classification (ECCN 3A991) requirements prior to procurement. Check for any product change notifications or known issues lists relevant to this specific revision.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a balance of moderate logic density and embedded processing capability is required. Compare against other Arria 10 SX variants based on specific transceiver counts and pin availability needs. Ensure the 672-pin package fits within the target PCB form factor and thermal constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Arria 10 SX family, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring substantial logic resources and embedded processing. It sits between lower-density Cyclone devices and higher-end Stratix FPGAs, offering a specialized mix of HPS integration and programmable logic for mid-range market segments.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements are limited within the same family due to specific pinout and feature configurations. Consider Arria 10 SX parts with identical pin counts and comparable logic/transceiver resources. Migration to Agilex families requires significant design re-verification.
