Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distribution channels or direct manufacturer confirmation. Ensure proper handling procedures are followed due to moisture sensitivity classification. Confirm that the specific ordering suffix matches the required temperature grade and package variant for your design implementation before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of moderate logic density and integrated processing is required. The Arria 10 SX family targets cost-sensitive applications needing ARM integration without the higher resource counts of GX variants. Evaluate power consumption profiles against the 950 mV core voltage requirements and ensure sufficient board space for the UBGA-484 footprint.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Intel (Altera) Arria 10 SoC FPGA family, specifically the SX series designed for mid-range performance. It sits below the higher-resource AX and GX families in terms of logic and transceiver counts. The part number indicates a specific speed grade, temperature rating, and package configuration within the broader Arria 10 ecosystem.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include other Arria 10 SX variants with different logic densities such as 10AS016 or 10AS022 models, provided pin compatibility and resource requirements align. Cross-family migration to Cyclone 10 or Stratix 10 requires significant architectural redesign.
