Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official manufacturer documentation to confirm temperature grade and package type. Ensure compliance with export control regulations as some variants may require additional authorization. Cross-reference the full part number with current datasheets to validate availability and lifecycle status before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of processing power and programmability is required for mid-to-high density applications. Compare logic element counts and memory capacity against project requirements to ensure adequate resource utilization. Verify that the package pin count and thermal characteristics meet the board design constraints.

Part Context

This component is part of the Arria 10 family, which succeeded the Stratix V series in the mid-range market. It shares architectural similarities with other Arria 10 devices but offers specific logic density and I/O configurations tailored for cost-sensitive high-performance applications. The family provides a migration path from previous generations while introducing enhanced power efficiency.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements are limited within the same family due to unique pinouts and feature sets. Consider the 10AS066 or 10AS055 series for similar densities if pin compatibility allows. For legacy migration, evaluate Stratix IV or V devices, though software and hardware redesigns will be necessary.
