The component features 41.62 Mbit of embedded memory and supports up to 696 I/O pins. It includes 48 transceivers capable of data rates up to 17.4 Gb/s. The core voltage operates between 870 mV and 980 mV, with a standard operating voltage of 950 mV. The device functions within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +100°C and is housed in a 1517-ball FBGA package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor system for complex control tasks alongside high-density programmable logic.
• Provides high-speed serial connectivity through multiple transceivers supporting significant data throughput rates.
• Offers substantial on-chip memory resources to reduce external memory dependencies and improve system efficiency.

Applications

• High-performance networking infrastructure equipment
• Industrial automation and control systems
• Medical imaging devices requiring high data bandwidth

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix N1 against official datasheets to confirm it denotes the commercial temperature grade (0°C to +100°C) rather than industrial or extended ranges. Confirm that the I1 designation corresponds to the correct speed grade and pin compatibility for your PCB layout. Ensure compliance with export regulations if shipping from restricted regions.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of processing power and logic density is required for mid-to-high-end applications. Compare against the 10AS066N2 variant if higher performance grades are needed. Verify that the 1517-ball FBGA footprint matches your board design constraints and thermal management capabilities.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Arria 10 SoC family, which combines FPGA fabric with ARM processors. It sits below the Stratix 10 series in terms of raw performance but offers optimized power efficiency for cost-sensitive high-performance designs. The SX variant typically targets specific bandwidth and logic requirements distinct from the GX or GT families.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes include other Arria 10 SoC devices with similar LE counts, such as the 10AS066N2F40I1HG, provided the speed grade and temperature rating match. Cross-family replacements like Cyclone V or MAX 10 require significant architectural redesign due to differences in processing integration and I/O capabilities.
