10AS066H3F34I2LG

Overview

The Altera 10AS066H3F34I2LG is an Arria 10 SX 660 SoC FPGA featuring a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 Hard Processor System (HPS) operating at up to 1.2 GHz. 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. L1 caches consist of 2 x 32 kB instruction and 2 x 32 kB data memories. It utilizes a surface-mount package with 1152 balls.

Feature Summary

• Integrates hardened ARM Cortex-A9 processing subsystem for system control and OS execution alongside programmable logic
• Provides high-density adaptive logic modules for complex hardware acceleration and custom protocol implementation
• Supports high-speed serial interconnects via integrated transceivers for bandwidth-intensive applications

Applications

• Network infrastructure equipment requiring high throughput and low latency
• Industrial automation systems needing real-time control and data processing
• Medical imaging devices utilizing hardware-accelerated signal processing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'LG' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm pinout, temperature range, and packaging details. Ensure compatibility with existing board designs by checking ball-to-signal mapping. Confirm availability through authorized distributors as lead times may vary. Validate that the selected variant meets all environmental and electrical specifications required for the target application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of moderate logic density and significant embedded memory is required. The dual-core HPS supports Linux or bare-metal operation for system management. Compare resource utilization against the 660k LE capacity to ensure sufficient headroom for design complexity. Consider the 24 transceiver count for interface requirements. Evaluate power consumption profiles relative to the 20 nm process technology constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria 10 SX family, designed for cost-sensitive, bandwidth-intensive applications. It combines the performance of high-end FPGAs with the efficiency of embedded processors. The SX series targets mid-range market segments where power efficiency and integration density are critical. It serves as a bridge between standard microprocessors and larger, more expensive FPGA solutions.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include variants like 10AS066H2F34I2LG or 10AS066H4F34I2LG, differing primarily in speed grades or testing levels. Cross-family migration to Cyclone V or Stratix 10 requires significant architectural redesign. Verify pin compatibility and software toolchain support before substituting.
