10AS066K4F40I3SG

Overview

The Altera 10AS066K4F40I3SG is an Arria 10 SX 660 SoC FPGA featuring a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor subsystem 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 36 high-speed transceivers. L1 cache consists of 2 x 32 kB instruction and 2 x 32 kB data memories. It supports SMD/SMT installation in an FBGA package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates hardened ARM Cortex-A9 processing system with programmable logic fabric
• Provides high-density adaptive logic modules for complex digital design
• Includes multiple high-speed serial transceivers for bandwidth-intensive applications

Applications

• High-performance networking equipment
• Industrial automation controllers
• Medical imaging systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package variant and temperature grade against the official Intel/Altera datasheet before ordering. Confirm that the suffix I3 corresponds to the required industrial temperature range and that the K4 designation matches the intended pinout and performance tier. Request the latest product change notification documents to ensure component revision compatibility with existing designs.

Selection Notes

Select this model when both significant programmable logic resources and embedded processing capabilities are required within a single chip. Compare the 660k LE count and 36-transceiver configuration against alternative Arria 10 variants to ensure sufficient headroom for signal processing algorithms and interface requirements without over-specifying silicon area or power consumption.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria 10 SX family, designed for cost-sensitive yet high-performance applications. It bridges the gap between pure FPGAs and general-purpose processors by combining soft-core or hard-core processing options with dense logic arrays. The SX series specifically targets bandwidth-heavy workloads where power efficiency and integration density are critical constraints.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other Arria 10 SoC devices with similar logic counts, such as the 10AS066N4F40I3VG, though transceiver counts may differ. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and electrical characteristics before substitution. No direct cross-family equivalents exist; migration to Agilex or Stratix families requires schematic and firmware redesign.
