10AS027E2F27I2SG

Overview

The Altera 10AS027E2F27I2SG is an Arria 10 SX 270 SoC FPGA housed in a 672-pin FBGA package. It integrates a hardened processing subsystem with dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processors and programmable logic containing 270,000 logic elements (LEs) or 101,620 adaptive logic modules (ALMs). The device features 14.65 Mbit of embedded memory and 384 I/O pins. It supports data rates up to 17.4 Gb/s via its transceivers and operates within a core voltage range of 870 mV to 980 mV, with a typical operating voltage of 950 mV. The component functions reliably between -40°C and +100°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a hardened processing subsystem with dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processors for system control and OS execution alongside high-density programmable logic resources.
• Provides extensive on-chip memory capacity including embedded block RAM and hard processor system cache to support complex data buffering and storage requirements.
• Supports high-speed serial communication through integrated transceivers capable of multi-gigabit data rates for demanding interconnect applications.

Applications

• High-performance networking equipment requiring robust packet processing and protocol acceleration
• Industrial automation controllers utilizing the hardened processor for real-time management
• Medical imaging systems leveraging parallel processing capabilities for signal analysis

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering part number against official Intel/Altera documentation to ensure correct speed grade and package configuration. Confirm export compliance status as this product may require additional authorization for shipment from certain regions. Check for moisture sensitivity handling requirements prior to assembly to prevent damage during soldering processes.

Selection Notes

Select this model when design requirements demand a balance of substantial logic density and integrated processing power within a mid-range form factor. Compare resource availability against larger Arria 10 variants if higher transceiver counts are needed. Ensure the 672-pin footprint aligns with existing board layout constraints and thermal management strategies.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria 10 SX family, which targets bandwidth-intensive and compute-heavy applications. It sits below higher-end models like the 10AX series in terms of raw transceiver count but retains the same hardened processor architecture. The E2 suffix typically denotes a specific performance bin or speed grade within the SX 270 device tier.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the same package and logic density are limited. Consider the 10AS027E3F27I2SG for potentially higher speed grades or the 10AS027H2F35I2SG if a different package size accommodates the design changes. Verify compatibility with current software toolchains before substitution.
