Feature Summary

• Integrates a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 MPCore processor with CoreSight technology for high-performance computing tasks.
• Combines FPGA fabric with hard processor system capabilities in a single chip architecture.
• Supports diverse peripheral connectivity including Ethernet, USB OTG, and standard serial interfaces.

Applications

• High-performance embedded systems requiring combined processing and programmable logic.
• Industrial automation controllers utilizing ARM cores and FPGA flexibility.
• Communication infrastructure equipment leveraging integrated Ethernet and serial interfaces.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'HH3' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm pinout and feature set alignment, as minor suffix variations can indicate different speed grades or packaging revisions. Ensure compatibility with existing board designs regarding the 1152-FBGA footprint and thermal requirements before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance between moderate FPGA logic capacity (400K LEs) and powerful ARM processing is required. Consider the 1.5 GHz operating frequency and 374 I/O count for interface density needs. Evaluate power consumption profiles against the 0.82V-0.88V core voltage requirements typical for this family.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix 10 SX family, designed for cost-sensitive applications compared to higher-end GX or MX variants. It shares the same FCBGA package style and ARM processor core as other SX models like the 1SX065, offering scalable logic resources within the same physical form factor.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same package include the 1SX040HH2F35I1VG and 1SX040HH1F35E1VG, provided speed grades and feature sets match. Cross-family replacements from Arria 10 or Cyclone 10 require significant redesign due to architectural differences.
