1SX250HN3F43I2LG

Overview

The Altera 1SX250HN3F43I2LG is a Stratix 10 SX System on Chip FPGA featuring an embedded quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor. It provides 2,500K logic elements and 256KB of RAM within a 1760-FBGA package measuring 42.5x42.5 mm. The device supports data rates up to 28.3 Gb/s with integrated transceivers. Operating voltage ranges from 0.82V to 0.88V, and it functions reliably between -40°C and 100°C junction temperature.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 MPCore processor with CoreSight debug capabilities for embedded processing tasks.
• Combines high-density programmable fabric with hard processor system features in a single silicon die.
• Supports high-speed serial connectivity through integrated transceivers capable of 28.3 Gb/s operation.

Applications

• High-performance networking infrastructure equipment
• Industrial automation control systems
• Medical imaging hardware platforms

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix HN3 against official Intel documentation to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics. Ensure compatibility with Quartus Prime software versions supporting the Stratix 10 SX family. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling requirements during assembly to prevent package damage.

Selection Notes

Select this model when both substantial FPGA logic resources and embedded ARM processing are required. Compare against the 1SG series if only pure FPGA functionality without an embedded processor is needed. Evaluate thermal management solutions suitable for the 1760-FBGA form factor under maximum load conditions.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Intel Stratix 10 SX family, which targets applications requiring combined processing and programmability. It succeeds previous generations by offering higher density and integrated ARM cores. The part number indicates specific package, speed grade, and industrial temperature rating variations within the broader product line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Stratix 10 SX variants such as 1SX250HN2F43I2LG or 1SX280HN2F43I2LG. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and resource availability before swapping. Cross-reference datasheets for any differences in supported protocols or power specifications.
