10AX016E3F29I1HG

Overview

The Altera 10AX016E3F29I1HG is an Arria 10 GX FPGA featuring 16,000 logic elements and 6,150 adaptive logic modules. It integrates 8.59 Mbit of embedded memory and supports up to 288 I/Os. The device operates with a core voltage range of 870 mV to 980 mV and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +100°C. It includes four high-speed transceivers capable of data rates up to 17.4 Gb/s. The component is housed in a 672-ball FBGA package and supports maximum operating frequencies of 1.5 GHz.

Feature Summary

• Integrates hardened ARM Cortex-A9 processing subsystem for system control and OS execution alongside programmable logic
• Provides high-density adaptive logic modules optimized for complex digital signal processing and protocol acceleration
• Supports high-speed serial connectivity through integrated transceivers for chip-to-chip and backplane applications

Applications

• High-performance networking equipment requiring multi-gigabit interface support
• Industrial automation systems utilizing hardware-software co-design
• Medical imaging devices needing low-latency signal processing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Intel documentation to confirm package type and temperature grade. Ensure compliance with export regulations as this product may require additional authorization files for shipment from certain regions. Confirm moisture sensitivity levels and storage conditions prior to assembly to maintain component integrity during surface mount processes.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of moderate logic density and embedded processing capabilities is required. Compare transceiver counts against bandwidth requirements, as this variant offers limited high-speed lanes compared to larger Arria 10 packages. Evaluate power consumption profiles relative to the 20 nm process technology constraints for thermal management planning.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Arria 10 GX family, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring significant programmable logic without the full feature set of Stratix 10 devices. It bridges the gap between standard FPGAs and ASICs by offering reconfigurability with lower non-recurring engineering costs. The series emphasizes energy efficiency for bandwidth-intensive workloads.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Arria 10 variants with matching pinouts and resource levels, such as the 10AS016 series for SoC configurations or higher-density models like the 10AX032 if logic capacity needs expansion. Verify electrical compatibility and software toolchain support before swapping components.
