10AX016E3F27E2LG

Overview

The Altera 10AX016E3F27E2LG is an Arria 10 SX System on Chip FPGA featuring a hardened ARM Cortex-A9 processor subsystem and programmable logic. It provides 16,000 Logic Elements and 6,1510 Adaptive Logic Modules with 8.59 Mbit of embedded memory. The device includes 288 I/O pins and operates within a voltage range of 870 mV to 980 mV. It supports data rates up to 17.4 Gb/s across its transceivers and functions at temperatures from -40°C to +100°C in a 672-ball FBGA package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 Hard Processor System for executing operating systems and control software alongside high-performance programmable logic.
• Features a dense array of Adaptive Logic Modules and embedded memory blocks optimized for complex digital signal processing and custom hardware acceleration.
• Supports high-speed serial communication through integrated transceivers capable of multi-gigabit data rates for backplane and chip-to-chip interconnects.

Applications

• High-bandwidth networking equipment requiring parallel packet processing
• Industrial automation controllers utilizing soft real-time processing
• Medical imaging systems needing low-latency hardware acceleration

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix E2LG against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm the exact speed grade and commercial temperature rating. Ensure compatibility with current design tools before ordering, as legacy support policies may affect availability for older Arria 10 variants.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balanced mix of embedded processing and moderate logic density is required. Compare resource utilization against higher-density Arria 10 variants if future scalability is needed, while noting that lower-tier models lack the hardened processor subsystem.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria 10 SX family, designed for bandwidth-intensive applications. It bridges the gap between standard FPGAs and ASICs by offering system-level integration capabilities within a single silicon die.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other Arria 10 SX devices with identical pin counts but different speed grades or logic capacities, such as the 10AS016 series, provided the hardened processor requirements are met.
