Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official Intel/Altera datasheet to confirm package type, temperature grade, and speed grade match the design requirements. Confirm export compliance status as this component may require additional documentation for international shipping depending on the destination region.

Selection Notes

Select this model when both hard processor system capabilities and significant programmable logic density are required within a single chip. Compare resource utilization against the 10AS066 series if higher logic capacity is needed, or consider the 10AS016 series for lower cost and reduced power consumption in less complex designs.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Arria 10 SX family, which targets bandwidth-intensive and compute-intensive applications. It combines the benefits of an ARM-based SoC with the flexibility of FPGA fabric, distinguishing it from pure logic FPGAs like the GX series or lower-end Cyclone devices.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the same package and feature set are limited. Evaluate the 10AS048K3F35E2LG for potential compatibility, though verification of specific electrical and logical differences is required.
