Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix I3 against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm industrial temperature rating compliance. Ensure the UBGA-484 package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements. Check for moisture sensitivity level classifications prior to soldering. Confirm availability status as supply chain conditions may vary by region.

Selection Notes

Compare the 160k LE count against design complexity to ensure sufficient logic resources. Evaluate the 8.59 Mbit embedded memory capacity for buffer requirements. Verify that the 17.4 Gb/s transceiver speed meets interface standards. Consider thermal management solutions given the 1.5 GHz maximum frequency capability.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria 10 GX family, designed for cost-sensitive yet high-performance applications. It bridges the gap between standard FPGAs and higher-end Stratix devices by integrating a hard processor system. The 10AX variant specifically denotes the GX series with enhanced transceiver capabilities relative to the SX line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements are not publicly confirmed for this specific suffix combination. Engineering changes may require re-evaluation of the hardened processor subsystem integration and transceiver lane mapping.
