Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm package type and temperature grade. Ensure compliance with export regulations as this component may require additional documentation for international shipment. Confirm availability of design tools compatible with the Arria 10 family before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when both significant programmable logic capacity and embedded processing capabilities are required in a single device. Compare resource utilization against the Arria 10 GX series if higher transceiver counts or different speed grades are necessary. Evaluate power consumption profiles relative to the specific application workload to ensure thermal requirements are met within the 780-ball FBGA footprint.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Arria 10 SX family, which targets cost-sensitive, bandwidth-intensive applications. It bridges the gap between standard FPGAs and SoCs by integrating ARM processors directly into the silicon. The SX variant typically offers a balance of logic density and transceiver performance suitable for mid-range infrastructure and industrial markets.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other Arria 10 SX variants with matching pinouts and logic densities, such as the 10AS048E4F29I3LG. Verify that any substitute maintains compatibility with existing board layouts and firmware architectures. Consult official cross-reference guides for minor suffix variations that do not alter functional specifications.
