1SX250HH2F55E2VG

Overview

The Altera 1SX250HH2F55E2VG is a Stratix 10 SX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) featuring an embedded System-on-Chip (SoC) architecture. It integrates a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 MPCore processor with CoreSight debug capabilities and 256KB of RAM. The device provides 2,500K logic elements and operates at speeds up to 1.5GHz. It utilizes a 2912-ball Flip Chip Ball Grid Array (FCBGA) package with dimensions of 55x55 mm. The component supports industrial temperature ranges from -40°C to 100°C junction temperature and includes peripherals such as DMA and WDT.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 MPCore processor for embedded control tasks alongside FPGA fabric
• Supports high-speed connectivity through interfaces including Ethernet, USB OTG, SPI, I2C, and UART/USART
• Provides extensive programmable logic resources suitable for complex digital signal processing and system integration

Applications

• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment requiring high-performance packet processing
• Industrial automation systems utilizing embedded control and real-time data acquisition
• Test and measurement instruments needing flexible logic configuration and processor integration

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm temperature grade and package variant accuracy. Ensure that the ordering information matches the required moisture sensitivity level and shelf-life constraints defined in the manufacturer's handling guidelines before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a combined SoC and FPGA solution is required within the Stratix 10 SX family. Confirm that the 2912 FCBGA footprint aligns with the PCB design constraints and that the 2500K logic element capacity meets the specific application density requirements without unnecessary over-provisioning found in larger variants.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix 10 SX series, which targets cost-sensitive applications compared to the GX or MX families. It shares the same processor core architecture but differs in FPGA fabric size and transceiver capabilities. The part number indicates a specific speed grade and industrial temperature rating within the broader Stratix 10 portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional replacements within the same package and pinout are limited due to the specific speed and temperature grades. Consider the 1SX250HH1F55E2VG for commercial temperature variants or the 1SX280HH2F55E2VG for increased logic capacity, provided the board layout and thermal design support the differences.
