Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix I3LG against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm package type and temperature grade. Ensure compliance with export regulations as this component may require additional authorization for international shipment. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number directly with the distributor listing to avoid counterfeit components.

Selection Notes

Select this variant when a balance of moderate logic density and embedded processing power is required. The Arria 10 SX series targets cost-sensitive applications compared to the GX or GT families. Verify that the 1152-ball package fits the board space constraints and that the thermal performance meets the system requirements for the specified operating environment.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria 10 SoC family, designed for mid-range applications bridging the gap between low-end Cyclone devices and high-end Stratix processors. The SX series specifically optimizes for cost-effective embedded solutions. It serves as a successor to earlier mixed-signal FPGA lines, offering improved power efficiency and integrated processor subsystems.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other Arria 10 SX variants such as 10AS027E4F29I3SG if package pinout compatibility allows. Upgrades may involve moving to Agilex 3 or 5 series for enhanced performance, though these require significant design re-verification due to architectural differences.
