Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and package variant against the manufacturer's current datasheet to ensure compatibility with design requirements. Confirm export control classifications and compliance documentation prior to procurement. Check for any product change notifications or known issues lists relevant to this specific part number before finalizing supply chain agreements.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of moderate logic density and integrated processing capability is required. Compare resource utilization against the 10AS016 and 10AS027 variants to ensure optimal cost-performance alignment. Verify that the available I/O count and transceiver channels meet the interface requirements of the target application architecture.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria 10 SX family, designed for bandwidth-sensitive and compute-intensive applications. It sits within Intel's Generation 10 portfolio, bridging the gap between lower-end Cyclone devices and higher-end Stratix FPGAs. The series emphasizes power efficiency and system integration by combining soft and hard processor cores.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional replacements within the same package and pinout are limited within the Arria 10 family due to specific logic density variations. Consider the 10AS027E2F29I2SG or 10AS027E4F29I2SG if speed grades differ but resources remain comparable. Cross-family migration to Agilex or Stratix requires significant schematic and layout redesign.
