• Provides extensive on-chip memory capacity to support complex buffering and storage requirements within the fabric.
• Supports high-speed serial communication through integrated transceivers capable of multi-gigabit data rates.

Applications

• High-performance networking equipment requiring robust packet processing and protocol handling
• Industrial automation systems utilizing hardware acceleration for real-time control loops
• Test and measurement instruments demanding precise signal generation and analysis capabilities

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official manufacturer documentation to confirm pin count, package type, and commercial/industrial temperature ratings. Ensure compliance with export control classifications such as ECCN 3A991 prior to acquisition. Confirm that the selected variant matches the required I/O density and power specifications for the target application design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a balance of moderate logic density and integrated processing capability is required. Compare resource utilization against the 10AS048 and 10AS016 variants to ensure optimal cost-to-performance ratio. Validate that the 1152-pin package fits the board layout constraints and thermal management strategy for the intended operating environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Arria 10 SX family, designed for bandwidth-intensive applications. It shares architectural similarities with other Arria 10 devices but offers a specific configuration of logic blocks and memory optimized for mid-range performance. The series emphasizes low power consumption relative to performance levels achieved by previous generations.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same package and pinout include the 10AS027E3F29I2LG or 10AS027E4F29I2LG. Verify that any substitute maintains compatibility with existing firmware and hardware designs without requiring schematic modifications.
