10AS066K4F40E3SG

Overview

The Altera 10AS066K4F40E3SG is an Arria 10 SoC FPGA featuring a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 Hard Processor System (HPS) with a maximum clock frequency of 1.2 GHz. It provides 660,000 logic elements and 251,680 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs). The device includes 41.62 Mbit of embedded memory and 36 high-speed transceivers. L1 instruction and data caches are configured as 2 x 32 kB each. The component utilizes an FCBGA package with a 40 mm footprint.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor for system control and software execution alongside programmable fabric logic.
• Supports high-speed serial communications through integrated transceiver blocks capable of multi-gigabit data rates.
• Provides substantial on-chip memory resources to reduce external memory dependencies and improve bandwidth efficiency.

Applications

• High-performance networking infrastructure equipment
• Industrial automation and control systems
• Medical imaging hardware platforms

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm package type, temperature grade, and lead-free status. Ensure compatibility with Intel Quartus Prime software versions supporting the Arria 10 family before procurement. Cross-reference the part number with official distributor catalogs to validate availability and authenticity.

Selection Notes

Select this model when design requirements exceed the capacity of lower-density Arria 10 devices but do not necessitate Stratix 10 performance levels. Evaluate the 36-transceiver count against interface requirements such as PCIe or Ethernet. Confirm that the 41.62 Mbit embedded memory suffices for buffer needs without excessive external RAM usage.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria 10 SX series, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring significant logic density and processing power. It bridges the gap between mid-range FPGAs and high-end Stratix devices, offering a balance of performance and resource utilization for complex system-on-chip designs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same density class include the 10AS066K3F40E2SGE2. Designers should verify pinout compatibility and electrical specifications when migrating between different sub-series or package variants within the Arria 10 portfolio.
