10AS027H2F35I2SG

Overview

The Altera 10AS027H2F35I2SG is an Arria 10 SX 270 SoC FPGA featuring a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor and programmable logic fabric. It provides 270,000 logic elements (101,620 ALMs) and 14.65 Mbit of embedded memory. The device includes 24 transceivers supporting data rates up to 17.4 Gb/s for chip-to-chip communication. It operates within a voltage range of 870 mV to 980 mV and functions between -40°C and +100°C. Packaged in an FBGA-1152 format with 384 I/Os, it supports high-speed interfaces and secure boot capabilities.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 hard processor system with the FPGA fabric for hardware-software co-design.
• Supports high-speed serial communications via multiple transceivers capable of 17.4 Gb/s data rates.
• Includes enhanced security features such as Elliptical Curve Digital Signature Authentication and AES encryption.

Applications

• Industrial automation systems requiring real-time control and processing.
• Automotive infotainment and instrument cluster designs.
• Communications infrastructure equipment including protocol analyzers.

Procurement Notes

Verify export compliance requirements before procurement, as this product may require additional documentation for shipment from the United States. Confirm that the specific ordering suffix matches the required package and temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with existing design tools and verify that the FBGA-1152 footprint aligns with the target PCB layout specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of moderate logic density and integrated processing is required. The Arria 10 SX series targets cost-sensitive applications compared to the GX or HS variants. Verify that the 270K LE count meets the design complexity needs without excessive resource allocation. Consider the 17.4 Gb/s transceiver speed sufficient for the intended interconnect standards.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria 10 SX family, which utilizes 20nm technology. It sits below higher-density models like the 10AS066 in terms of logic resources but retains the same core HPS architecture. The 'SX' designation indicates a focus on power efficiency and cost-effectiveness for mid-range performance requirements within the Generation 10 portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package are limited due to specific logic and memory configurations. Evaluate other Arria 10 SX devices with similar LE counts, such as the 10AS022 or 10AS032, if functional differences in memory or transceivers are acceptable. Cross-family migration requires significant redesign.
