Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix E3 against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm package type, pinout, and electrical characteristics. Ensure compliance with export regulations if applicable. Confirm lead times directly with authorized distributors as availability fluctuates. Validate that the ordering part number matches the required thermal and mechanical specifications for the target PCB design.

Selection Notes

Select this model when both significant programmable logic density and integrated ARM processing capabilities are required. Compare the 660k LE count and 41.62 Mbit memory against project needs. Evaluate the 24 transceiver count for bandwidth requirements. Consider the 1.2 GHz processor speed for real-time control loops. Verify compatibility with existing software toolchains for the Arria 10 architecture.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria 10 SX family, designed for scalable performance in mid-to-high-end applications. It bridges the gap between standard FPGAs and general-purpose processors by integrating hard processor systems. The series emphasizes power efficiency and high-speed I/O capabilities for modern digital signal processing and communications standards.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Arria 10 SoC variants such as 10AS066H2F34I1HGJW or 10AS066H3F34I2VG, provided the package and speed grades align. Cross-family migration to Stratix 10 requires significant architectural redesign. Always verify pin-to-pin compatibility and electrical parameter equivalence before substitution.
