• Test and measurement instruments demanding low-latency signal analysis

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm temperature grade and package variant. Ensure compatibility with the required Quartus Prime software version for the Arria 10 family. Check for any known issues or errata documents relevant to this specific revision before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of moderate logic density and embedded processing is required. Compare resource counts against application needs for ALMs and embedded memory. Evaluate transceiver channel availability against target interface speeds. Consider power consumption profiles relative to thermal constraints in the final enclosure design.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria 10 SX family, designed for cost-effective high-performance applications. It sits below higher-density models like the 10AS096 or 10AS115 in terms of logic capacity but retains the same HPS architecture. It serves as a mid-range solution for applications that do not require the maximum resource count of the Stratix 10 series.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the Arria 10 family include other SX variants with different logic densities such as 10AS027 or 10AS054, provided resource requirements are met. Cross-family migration to Agilex or Stratix requires significant redesign due to architectural differences.
