Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm temperature range and package variations. Ensure compatibility with Quartus Prime software versions supporting the Stratix 10 SX family. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling requirements during assembly. Cross-reference part numbers with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a combined FPGA fabric and ARM processor core is required within a compact 1760-ball footprint. Compare against other Stratix 10 SX variants based on specific I/O count and thermal constraints. Ensure the design toolchain supports the target logic element density and memory configuration.

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 architectural similarities with other SX devices but differs in package type and pinout. The series targets mid-range performance segments where power efficiency and integration are critical.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 1SX250 variants with compatible packages, such as 1SX250LN3F43E3XG or 1SX250HN2F43I2LG, provided pinouts and electrical specifications match. Verify that any replacement maintains the same logic density and processor core configuration.
