Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm performance grade and package variant. Ensure compatibility with required thermal management solutions due to the high pin count and power density of the 2912-ball FC-BGA package. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling procedures during assembly to prevent package damage. Cross-reference part numbers with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components.

Selection Notes

Select this model when both substantial FPGA logic resources and an embedded ARM processor are required in a single component. Compare logic element counts and embedded memory sizes against alternative Stratix 10 variants to ensure sufficient capacity. Evaluate transceiver availability and speed requirements against application bandwidth needs. Consider the physical dimensions and thermal characteristics of the 2912-ball package for board layout constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Intel Stratix 10 SX family, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring embedded processing alongside programmable logic. The 'SX' designation indicates a focus on balanced performance and efficiency compared to higher-end GX or HX series devices. It shares architectural similarities with other Stratix 10 parts but offers specific resource configurations tailored for mid-range SoC implementations.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same package and pinout include other Stratix 10 SX variants such as 1SX280HH1F55I2LG for increased logic resources. Upgrades may involve moving to the Stratix 10 GX series if higher transceiver speeds are needed, though pinouts may differ. Verify electrical compatibility and software toolchain support when substituting with different logic densities.
