Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including suffixes against official Intel/Altera documentation to ensure correct speed grade and temperature rating. Confirm package availability and lead times through authorized distributors, as standard delivery periods may vary. Ensure compliance with moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) handling requirements during storage and assembly processes.

Selection Notes

Select this model for applications needing moderate logic density with embedded processing capabilities. Compare against the 1SX065 variant if higher logic capacity is required. Verify that the 1152-ball package fits the board layout constraints. Check compatibility with existing software tools and IP cores designed for the Stratix 10 SX family before finalizing the design.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix 10 SX family, which combines FPGA fabric with hard processor systems. It shares architectural similarities with other SX devices but differs in logic element count and I/O configuration. The 1SX040 variant offers a specific balance of performance and resource utilization suitable for cost-sensitive embedded designs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same package and pinout include the 1SX040HH2F35I1VG, which differs primarily in temperature range and speed grade. Cross-family migration to Agilex or Stratix V requires significant redesign due to architectural differences.
