10AS027E4F27E3SG

Overview

The Altera 10AS027E4F27E3SG is an Arria 10 SX SoC FPGA featuring a hardened dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 Hard Processor System (HPS) integrated with programmable logic. It utilizes a 672-pin package and operates at the E4 performance grade. The device architecture supports high-bandwidth applications through embedded memory resources and configurable I/O interfaces, designed for complex system integration requiring both software control and hardware acceleration capabilities within a single chip.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a hardened dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor subsystem alongside programmable logic fabric
• Supports flexible embedded system consolidation by combining processing, I/O, and custom acceleration on one die
• Provides enhanced security features including secure boot and anti-tamper mechanisms

Applications

• Industrial automation systems requiring real-time control and data processing
• Automotive infotainment and instrument cluster designs
• Communications infrastructure equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering part number against official Intel/Altera documentation to ensure correct package type and speed grade. Confirm environmental compliance status and shelf-life constraints prior to procurement. Ensure supply chain sources are authorized distributors to guarantee component authenticity and traceability for critical system deployments.

Selection Notes

Select this variant based on the required pin count and performance grade relative to system bandwidth needs. Evaluate the balance between HPS processing requirements and programmable logic density. Consider thermal management solutions suitable for the specific package configuration during initial board design phases to ensure reliable operation under load.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria 10 SX family of SoC FPGAs, which targets bandwidth-sensitive and compute-intensive applications. The series combines high-performance programmable logic with embedded processors, offering a scalable solution for designs needing efficient hardware-software co-design and reduced board complexity compared to discrete processor and FPGA combinations.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Arria 10 SX variants such as 10AS027E4F27I3SG or 10AS027E4F27E3LG, differing primarily in temperature range or package material. Migration to Agilex families requires architectural redesign due to differences in HPS integration and fabric structure.
