Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm exact speed grades, temperature ranges, and packaging options. Ensure compliance with export control regulations as these devices may be subject to international trade restrictions. Confirm availability through authorized distributors given potential supply chain constraints for legacy or specialized semiconductor components.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of moderate logic density and integrated processing capability is required. Compare resource counts against alternative Arria 10 variants if higher transceiver counts or larger memory blocks are needed. Validate power delivery requirements for the 950 mV core voltage and ensure thermal management solutions accommodate the specified operating temperature range.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria 10 GX family, designed for bandwidth-intensive and compute-heavy applications. It sits between lower-density SX models and higher-capacity AX models, offering a specific configuration of 160k LEs and 12 transceivers. The series emphasizes energy efficiency and performance per watt for scalable system designs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements are limited due to the unique combination of logic density, transceiver count, and package type. Evaluate other Arria 10 variants with similar pin counts and resource levels, ensuring compatibility with existing board layouts and software toolchains before substitution.
