1SX040HH3F35I3XG

Overview

The Altera 1SX040HH3F35I3XG is a Stratix 10 SX System on FPGA device featuring approximately 400,000 logic elements. It integrates a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor running at 1.5 GHz with 256 KB of embedded RAM. The component utilizes an FCBGA package with 1152 balls and supports a junction temperature range from -40°C to +100°C. It includes standard peripherals such as DMA and WDT, along with connectivity options including Ethernet, USB OTG, SPI, I2C, UART/USART, MMC/SD/SDIO, and EBI/EMI interfaces.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 MPCore processor with NEON and floating-point capabilities for embedded processing tasks.
• Provides high-density programmable logic resources suitable for complex digital design implementations.
• Supports multiple high-speed peripheral interfaces including Ethernet and USB OTG for system connectivity.

Applications

• Industrial automation controllers requiring integrated processing and logic control
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment utilizing embedded Linux or RTOS
• Medical imaging systems demanding high-performance data processing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm operating temperature grade and package variant. Ensure moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) handling protocols are followed during assembly. Confirm availability through authorized distributors as lead times may vary significantly due to manufacturing constraints.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of moderate logic capacity and embedded ARM processing is required. Compare against the GX series if higher transceiver counts are needed, or the TX series if significant embedded memory is necessary. Verify that the 1152-ball package fits the target PCB footprint and thermal design requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix 10 SX family, which combines FPGA fabric with ARM processors. It targets applications needing both hardware acceleration and software flexibility. The SX designation indicates the inclusion of embedded ARM cores, distinguishing it from the pure FPGA GX and TX variants within the same generation.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other Stratix 10 SX devices with compatible pinouts, such as the 1SX065HH3F35I3XG for increased logic density. Cross-family migration to Agilex devices requires architectural redesign. Verify pin compatibility and software toolchain support before substituting.
