10AS066H3F34E2LG

Overview

The Altera 10AS066H3F34E2LG is an Arria 10 SX SoC FPGA featuring a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor subsystem and programmable logic fabric. It provides 660,000 Logic Elements (LEs) and 251,680 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs). The device integrates 41.62 Mbit of embedded memory and includes 24 high-speed transceivers. Operating at a maximum clock frequency of 1.2 GHz with 2 x 32 kB L1 instruction and data caches per core, it supports SMD/SMT installation in an FBGA package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates hardened ARM Cortex-A9 processing system with high-density programmable logic for unified hardware-software development.
• Provides extensive on-chip memory resources to support complex data buffering and storage requirements within the fabric.
• Features multiple high-speed serial transceivers capable of supporting demanding interface protocols and backplane connectivity.

Applications

• High-performance networking equipment requiring multi-gigabit packet processing
• Industrial automation controllers utilizing real-time processing capabilities
• Medical imaging systems needing parallel data throughput

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix E2LG against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm package dimensions and pinout compatibility. Ensure the component meets RoHS standards and check for any product change notifications affecting this specific variant before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this model when design requirements exceed the capacity of smaller Arria 10 variants but do not necessitate Stratix 10 performance levels. Evaluate the 660k LE count against logic complexity and verify that the 24 transceiver count satisfies all external interface bandwidth needs without excessive routing constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria 10 SX family, designed for bandwidth-intensive applications. It bridges the gap between mid-range FPGAs and high-end Stratix devices, offering a balance of processing power and logic density suitable for cost-sensitive yet performance-critical embedded systems.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other Arria 10 SX variants such as 10AS066H3F34I2VG or 10AS066H4F34I3LP, provided package and electrical grade differences are acceptable. Cross-family migration to Cyclone 10 GX requires significant architectural redesign.
