10M16SCU324C8G

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The Altera 10M16SCU324C8G is a non-volatile Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) belonging to the MAX 10 family. It integrates 16,000 logic elements and 549 kbit of embedded memory within a 324-pin UBGA package. The device operates with a core supply voltage range of 2.85 V to 3.465 V and supports a maximum operating frequency of 450 MHz. Designed for surface-mount installation, it functions reliably across an industrial temperature range from 0°C to +85°C. This component combines programmable logic capabilities with on-chip non-volatile configuration storage.

• Consumer electronics with space-constrained form factors.
• Automotive infotainment and instrument clusters.
• Network infrastructure edge devices.

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C8G' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm the commercial temperature grade and lead-free status. Ensure compatibility with the 324-UBGA footprint during PCB layout. Confirm that the design environment utilizes Quartus Prime software compatible with the MAX 10 device family for successful compilation and programming.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of moderate logic density (16k LEs) and high I/O count (246 pins) is required in a compact BGA package. Compare against the 10M08 series for lower cost applications or the 10M25 series if higher logic capacity is needed. Verify that the 2.85V–3.465V core voltage aligns with the system power budget and that the 0°C to +85°C operating range meets environmental requirements.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the Intel MAX 10 FPGA family, which distinguishes itself by integrating non-volatile memory directly on the chip, eliminating the need for external configuration devices. The 10M16 variant represents a mid-range density option within the series, offering a scalable architecture suitable for complex digital logic designs without the complexity of larger Stratix or Arria families.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the same package are limited to other MAX 10 variants with identical I/O counts and pin assignments. Cross-family migration to Cyclone or Stratix requires significant schematic and layout redesign due to architectural differences. Consult official Intel substitution guides for verified equivalent components.
