Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm package type, speed grade, and environmental rating. Ensure compatibility with required power delivery networks and thermal management solutions for the 1760-ball FBGA form factor. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling procedures during assembly to prevent damage. Cross-reference part numbers with current datasheets to account for any manufacturing changes or obsolescence notices.

Selection Notes

Select this model when application requirements exceed the capacity of smaller Stratix 10 SX variants like the 1SX110 or 1SX085. Evaluate the trade-off between the 1650K logic element count and available board space for the large FBGA package. Consider the 1.5 GHz processor performance relative to software complexity and memory bandwidth needs. Verify that the 48 transceiver count aligns with interface density requirements without excessive unused resources.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix 10 SX family, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring embedded processing alongside FPGA flexibility. It shares the same 1760-ball package footprint as other devices in the series, such as the 1SX110 and 1SX085, facilitating potential design scalability. The SX variant focuses on balancing performance with reduced power consumption compared to the GX series.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes within the same package include the 1SX165HN2F43E2VG, which shares identical logical and physical specifications. Designers may also consider the 1SX110HN3F43E3VG or 1SX085HN3F43E3VG if resource requirements allow for downgrading logic capacity while maintaining pin compatibility.
