10AS027H3F34I2LG

Overview

The Altera 10AS027H3F34I2LG is an Arria 10 SX SoC FPGA featuring a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 Hard Processor System (HPS) and programmable logic fabric. It provides 270,000 Logic Elements (LEs), 101,620 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs), and 14.65 Mbit of embedded memory. The device supports up to 24 high-speed transceivers with data rates reaching 17.4 Gbps. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +100°C and utilizes an FBGA-1152 package for surface-mount installation.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor with the programmable logic fabric for hardware-software co-design.
• Supports high-speed serial communications via multiple transceivers capable of 17.4 Gbps chip-to-chip data rates.
• Includes enhanced security features such as secure boot with Elliptical Curve Digital Signature Authentication.
• Consolidates processing, I/O, and custom acceleration on a single device to reduce board complexity.

Applications

• Industrial automation systems requiring complex control and signal processing.
• Automotive electronics applications demanding robust performance in varying temperatures.
• Communications infrastructure utilizing high-speed data transmission interfaces.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffixes against official Intel/Altera documentation to ensure correct speed grade, temperature rating, and package configuration. Confirm export compliance requirements, as certain configurations may require additional documentation for international shipping. Cross-reference the part number with current datasheets to validate availability and any potential product change notifications affecting the component specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this model when design requirements align with the 270K LE capacity and 14.65 Mbit memory limits of the Arria 10 SX family. Ensure the application benefits from the integrated dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 HPS rather than using a separate processor. Verify that the FBGA-1152 package dimensions fit the target PCB layout and that the thermal characteristics meet the system's cooling constraints for industrial operating ranges.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria 10 SX series, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring significant logic density and processing power. It sits below the higher-density GX and HS variants in the Arria 10 portfolio. The SX series specifically targets embedded applications where power efficiency and integration are prioritized over the extreme bandwidth capabilities found in other families.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include other Arria 10 SX devices with compatible pinouts or higher logic densities, such as the 10AS066 series, provided the package and speed grades match. Migration to newer Agilex families requires re-evaluation of architecture and software compatibility.
