Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Intel/Altera documentation to ensure correct speed grade, temperature rating, and packaging configuration. Confirm moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) and reflow soldering profile requirements prior to assembly. Check for any recent Product Change Notifications regarding labeling or material composition updates.

Selection Notes

Compare this model against other Stratix 10 SX variants based on required logic density and I/O count. Ensure the 1760-ball package fits the target PCB footprint constraints. Verify that the 1 GHz processor speed meets application timing requirements and that sufficient embedded memory is available for software execution.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix 10 SX family, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring significant logic capacity and embedded processing. It shares the same 1760-ball package form factor as other devices in the series, such as the 1SX165 and 1SX250LN models, facilitating potential design reuse across different performance tiers.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package include the 1SX250LN3F43E3VG and 1SX250LN3F43I3YG. Verify electrical specifications and speed grades before substitution. Cross-family migration to Agilex devices requires schematic and layout redesign due to architectural differences.
