Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to ensure compatibility with required speed grades and temperature ranges. Confirm moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) handling requirements during storage and assembly. Check for any recent product change notices regarding labeling or packaging updates before placing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a combined SoC solution is needed rather than a standalone FPGA. Ensure the design accommodates the 2912-pin BGA footprint and thermal dissipation needs for the 55x55 mm package. Verify that the 1.5 GHz processor performance meets system timing constraints compared to higher-end Stratix 10 variants.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Intel Stratix 10 SX family, which targets cost-sensitive applications requiring embedded processing. It differs from the GX series by integrating ARM cores directly into the silicon. The part number indicates the 250K logic density variant within the 55mm package form factor.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional replacements within the same package are limited due to the specific integration of the ARM Cortex-A53 core. Consider the 1SX250HH2F55I2LG or 1SX250HH3F55E2LG for potential pin-compatible upgrades with different speed grades or temperature ratings, subject to official substitution lists.
