• Supports secure boot mechanisms including Elliptical Curve Digital Signature Authentication (ECDSA) and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).
• Provides flexible embedded system integration by consolidating processing, I/O, and custom acceleration functions.

Applications

• Industrial automation systems requiring hardware-software co-design.
• Communications infrastructure utilizing high-speed serial links.
• Embedded applications needing low-latency data plane processing.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm performance grade and package details. Ensure compliance with export control classifications, as indicated by ECCN 3A991 in related variants. Confirm that the selected part number matches the required thermal and electrical specifications for the target application environment before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of moderate logic density and integrated processing capability is required. Compare resource availability against higher-end Arria 10 variants if more transceivers or memory are needed. Verify that the 672-pin package footprint aligns with existing PCB layout constraints and that the 20nm process technology meets the power efficiency requirements of the design.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria 10 SX family, designed for bandwidth-sensitive and compute-intensive applications. It combines the flexibility of FPGA fabric with the software programmability of an ARM processor. The series targets cost-effective solutions for embedded systems, offering a scalable architecture that supports various interface standards and protocol accelerations through its configurable logic blocks.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same package and pinout include other Arria 10 SX variants such as 10AS027E2F29I2LG or 10AS027E4F29I2LG, depending on the required speed grade. Cross-family migration to Agilex devices requires significant redesign due to architectural differences.
