10AX016E3F27I1HG

Overview

The Altera 10AX016E3F27I1HG is an Arria 10 SX 160 SoC FPGA featuring a hardened dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processing subsystem and programmable logic. It provides 160,000 Logic Elements (LEs), 61,510 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs), and 8.59 Mbits of embedded memory. The device includes 12 high-speed transceivers supporting data rates up to 17.4 Gb/s and offers 288 I/O pins. Operating within a core voltage range of 870 mV to 980 mV, it functions between -40°C and +100°C in a 672-ball FBGA package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a hardened dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor with extensive programmable logic resources for system-on-chip applications.
• Includes 12 high-speed serial transceivers capable of supporting demanding bandwidth-intensive interfaces and protocols.
• Features significant embedded memory capacity and adaptive logic modules optimized for complex digital signal processing tasks.

Applications

• High-performance networking equipment requiring multi-gigabit interface support
• Industrial automation controllers utilizing integrated processing and logic
• Medical imaging systems needing real-time data processing capabilities

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official manufacturer documentation to confirm temperature grade, package type, and speed grading. Ensure compatibility with required power delivery networks and thermal management solutions for the FBGA-672 form factor. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current datasheets before integration into regulated environments.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of moderate logic density and integrated processing is required. Compare resource availability against higher-density Arria 10 variants if additional ALMs or memory are needed. Evaluate pin count requirements against the 288 I/O limit and verify that the 12-transceiver count suffices for all serial links.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria 10 SX family, designed for cost-sensitive yet performance-critical applications. It sits below the larger AX series devices in terms of raw logic capacity but retains the same heterogeneous architecture. The SX designation indicates a focus on balanced performance and power efficiency for mid-range system integration.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same package and pinout include other Arria 10 SX 160 variants with different speed grades or temperature ranges. Cross-family migration to Cyclone V or MAX 10 requires significant architectural redesign due to differences in processing cores and transceiver availability.
