Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix E2F29E1SG against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm package type, pin count, and temperature grade. Ensure compliance with export control classifications such as ECCN 3A991 if applicable to your region. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number directly with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components.

Selection Notes

Select this model when system requirements demand both high-density FPGA logic and embedded processing capabilities within the Arria 10 family. Compare logic element counts and transceiver speeds against alternative devices like the 10AS027 series to ensure adequate performance margins. Verify that the H-Grid package dimensions fit the target PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria 10 SX series, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring significant logic resources. It sits between lower-density Cyclone devices and higher-end Stratix families. The 10AX027 variant specifically targets mid-range throughput needs while offering integrated processor cores for system-level integration.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Arria 10 SX variants with similar logic densities, such as the 10AS027 series. Check pin compatibility and thermal characteristics before swapping. Higher performance alternatives may require Stratix 10 devices, while lower-cost options might involve Cyclone 10 GX FPGAs.
