Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number against official Intel/Altera documentation to ensure correct package type, speed grade, and temperature rating. Confirm that the specific suffix matches the required commercial or industrial specifications. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest datasheet to validate pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when both significant parallel logic processing and embedded software execution are required. The Arria 10 architecture suits designs needing high I/O density and advanced DSP capabilities alongside a Linux-capable processor. Evaluate power consumption requirements against the device's thermal performance in the target enclosure environment.

Part Context

This component is part of the Arria 10 family, which bridges the gap between traditional FPGAs and processors. It combines the flexibility of programmable logic with the efficiency of an embedded ARM processor. The SX variant typically targets cost-sensitive applications requiring robust performance without the highest tier of transceiver counts found in GX models.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other Arria 10 SoC devices with similar logic densities, such as the 10AS066N4F40I3VG or 10AS066K3F40E2SGE2. Verify that the substitute part offers compatible pinouts and sufficient transceiver counts for the interface requirements.
