• High-density programmable fabric with over 660,000 logic elements
• Extensive embedded memory resources totaling 41.62 Mbit
• Multiple high-speed serial transceivers for complex interface requirements

Applications

• Industrial automation controllers requiring deterministic processing
• Medical imaging systems needing high-bandwidth data acquisition
• Test and measurement equipment demanding precise signal generation
• Infrastructure networking devices supporting advanced protocol handling

Procurement Notes

Verify authenticity through official Intel/Altera channels or authorized distributors. Request original manufacturer documentation and traceability records. Inspect packaging integrity and pin condition upon receipt. Confirm part number suffixes match specific speed grades and temperature ranges. Avoid unauthorized third-party sources due to counterfeit risks in legacy FPGA markets.

Selection Notes

Compare against Arria 10 GX and Stratix 10 families based on power and performance needs. Evaluate the 660K LE count against design resource utilization. Consider the H4 speed grade for timing closure complexity. Assess thermal requirements given the SoC integration. Verify software tool compatibility with Quartus Prime versions.

Part Context

This component is part of the Arria 10 SX family, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring significant logic density and embedded processing capabilities. It bridges the gap between lower-end Cyclone devices and higher-end Stratix solutions. The SX variant specifically targets volume production environments where balanced performance and power efficiency are critical.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other Arria 10 SX models with similar logic counts, such as 10AS055 or 10AS066 variants, provided pinout and speed grades align. Cross-family migration to Stratix 10 requires significant redesign. Consult Intel's official obsolescence notices for long-term supply assurance.
