1SX040HH3F35E3VG

Overview

The Altera 1SX040HH3F35E3VG is a Stratix 10 SX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) featuring an embedded Hard Processor System (HPS). It integrates a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor with CoreSight debug infrastructure, operating at speeds up to 1.5 GHz. The device provides approximately 650K logic elements and includes 256KB of embedded RAM within the HPS subsystem. It utilizes a 1152-ball FineLine BGA package with a 35x35 mm footprint. The component supports a junction temperature range from 0°C to 100°C and operates with supply voltages typically between 0.77V and 0.97V for core logic.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 MPCore processor with NEON and floating-point units for high-performance computing tasks.
• Combines FPGA fabric with embedded memory and processor systems on a single chip for system-level integration.
• Supports multiple peripheral interfaces including Ethernet, USB OTG, SPI, UART, and I2C for versatile connectivity.

Applications

• High-density data center acceleration and networking applications
• Industrial automation and control systems requiring real-time processing
• Medical imaging equipment and diagnostic devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix E3 against current Intel/Altera documentation to confirm package marking and material compliance details. Confirm availability status through authorized distributors as lead times may vary. Ensure proper handling procedures are followed due to moisture sensitivity level 3 classification during storage and reflow soldering processes.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a combination of significant FPGA logic capacity and embedded ARM processing power is required. Compare against the 1SG040 GX series if high-speed transceivers are prioritized over embedded processor capabilities. Evaluate thermal management requirements given the 1152-ball FCBGA package density and power consumption characteristics under load.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix 10 SX family, which targets high-density applications requiring embedded processing. It differs from the GX series by focusing on cost-effective integration of ARM processors rather than maximizing high-speed serial transceiver counts. The 1SX040 variant offers a mid-range logic density within the SX portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional replacements within the same package and pinout are limited within the Stratix 10 family. Consider the 1SX065HH3F35E3VG for higher logic density or the 1SG040HH3F35E3XG if transceiver performance is critical. Verify software compatibility using Quartus Prime Pro Edition when migrating between different Stratix 10 device densities.
