10M50DAF256I7G

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The Altera 10M50DAF256I7G is a MAX 10 series Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) featuring 50,000 logic elements and 3,125 Logic Array Blocks. It integrates approximately 1.6 Mbit of embedded RAM within a 256-ball FBGA package. The device operates with a core supply voltage range of 1.15 V to 1.25 V and supports an industrial operating temperature range from -40°C to +100°C. Key architectural features include non-volatile Flash configuration memory, eliminating the need for external configuration devices, and an integrated analog-to-digital converter.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Integrated non-volatile Flash memory for instant-on configuration without external PROMs
• Embedded multi-channel Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) for signal monitoring
• Support for Nios II soft-core processor integration
• Industrial temperature rating (-40°C to +100°C)

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• Industrial automation control systems
• Motor control applications requiring low-cost non-volatile FPGA solutions
• System management interfaces
• Instant-on embedded systems

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'I7G' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm the exact speed grade and commercial/industrial temperature classification. Ensure compatibility with the required PCB footprint for the 256-LBGA package. Check for any Product Change Notifications regarding labeling or pin guide updates prior to final design approval.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this component when non-volatile configuration and integrated ADC functionality are required in an industrial environment. Compare logic density and I/O count against the 10M16 and 10M25 variants if resource optimization is needed. Confirm that the 1.2V core voltage and supported I/O standards meet the system power budget and interface requirements.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the Intel (formerly Altera) MAX 10 family, which combines SRAM-based FPGA fabric with embedded Flash memory. The 10M50 variant represents the higher-end capacity within the initial MAX 10 lineup, offering significant logic resources compared to the 10M04 or 10M08 models while maintaining low power consumption characteristics suitable for compact embedded designs.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same package and pinout may be limited due to specific speed grade variations. Consider the 10M50DAF256C7G for commercial temperature applications or other 10M50FBGA256 variants if temperature ranges differ. Verify pin compatibility before substituting with newer generation FPGAs.
