10AS027E2F29E1SG

Overview

The Altera 10AS027E2F29E1SG is an Arria 10 SX 270 SoC FPGA featuring a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor. It provides 270,000 logic elements and 14.65 Mbit of embedded memory. The device supports a maximum clock frequency of 1.2 GHz for the processor cores. It includes 12 transceivers with data rates up to 17.4 Gb/s. The component is housed in an FBGA-1152 package suitable for surface mount installation.

Feature Summary

• Integrates dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processors within the FPGA fabric
• Provides high-density programmable logic with adaptive logic modules
• Supports high-speed serial communication via integrated transceivers

Applications

• High-performance embedded processing systems
• Industrial automation controllers
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix E1 against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics. Ensure compliance with export control regulations as indicated by ECCN 3A991 for this device family. Confirm availability through authorized distributors as supply levels fluctuate.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of soft-core processing capability and moderate FPGA density is required. Compare against the 10AS027H series if higher processor frequencies or different I/O counts are needed. Verify that the 12-transceiver count meets the system's high-speed interface requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Arria 10 SX 270 series, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring embedded processing. It shares the same FPGA fabric size as other 270 variants but differs in processor configuration and package options. It serves as a bridge between standard FPGAs and high-end Stratix devices.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Arria 10 SX 270 variants such as 10AS027E2F29I1SG, noting that temperature grade changes may affect performance. Cross-series migration to Cyclone V or Arria V requires significant design rework due to architectural differences.
