Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix E2 against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm package type and speed grade. Ensure power supply designs support SmartVID requirements if applicable. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling during assembly. Validate that the ordering part number matches the exact silicon revision required for the design.

Selection Notes

Select this model when both high-performance logic resources and embedded processing capabilities are required. Compare against the 1SG series if processor integration is unnecessary. Verify that the 2397-ball package fits the target PCB footprint constraints. Ensure the design utilizes the supported speed grades for optimal timing closure.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Intel Stratix 10 SX family, designed for systems requiring combined FPGA flexibility and processor efficiency. It shares the same physical package dimensions as other 2397-ball devices in the series but differs in internal architecture and speed grades. The SX variant specifically targets applications needing significant embedded processing alongside programmable logic.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the same package require identical logic density and I/O counts. Consider the 1SG250 series only if the embedded processor is not needed. Verify compatibility with existing software drivers and hardware interfaces before substitution.
