10AS066H2F34I2SG

Overview

The Altera 10AS066H2F34I2SG is an Arria 10 SX 660 SoC FPGA featuring a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor running at up to 1.2 GHz with 2 x 32 kB L1 instruction and data caches. It integrates 660,000 logic elements (LEs), 251,680 adaptive logic modules (ALMs), and 82,500 logic array blocks (LABs). The device includes 41.62 Mbit of embedded memory and 24 high-speed transceivers. Designed for surface-mount installation, it supports complex system-on-chip applications requiring high computational throughput and flexible I/O.

Feature Summary

• Integrates hardened dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processing subsystem with high-performance programmable logic fabric
• Provides extensive embedded memory resources for data buffering and storage within the chip
• Supports high-speed serial communication through multiple integrated transceiver channels

Applications

• High-performance networking equipment and protocol acceleration
• Industrial automation and control systems requiring real-time processing
• Test and measurement instruments needing low-latency signal processing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I2' indicates industrial temperature range compliance when sourcing. Confirm package availability matches the required FBGA form factor. Ensure compatibility with Intel Quartus Prime software versions supporting the Arria 10 family. Check for any product change notifications affecting pinout or electrical characteristics before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when design requirements exceed the capacity of smaller Arria 10 variants but do not necessitate the Stratix 10 series. Evaluate power consumption profiles against available cooling solutions due to the high logic density. Consider the 24 transceiver count for interface requirements; if fewer lanes are needed, lower-density models may offer cost benefits. Verify that the dual-core ARM A9 performance meets the operating system and application workload demands.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria 10 SX 660 family, designed for bandwidth-intensive and compute-heavy applications. It bridges the gap between standard FPGAs and full SoC implementations by combining soft/hard processor integration with massive parallel logic capabilities. The SX variant typically targets cost-sensitive high-volume deployments compared to the HX or GX series.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other Arria 10 SX 660 variants with different package sizes or speed grades, such as 10AS066H3F34I2VG or 10AS066H4F34I3LP. Cross-family migration to Agilex or Stratix 10 requires significant architectural redesign and is not a direct pin-compatible swap.
