1SX250HU1F50I2LG

Overview

The Altera 1SX250HU1F50I2LG is a Stratix 10 SX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) featuring an embedded quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor. It provides 2,500,000 logic elements and supports data rates up to 28.3 Gb/s via its transceivers. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to 100°C and utilizes a 2912-pin FCBGA package measuring 55x55 mm. Key electrical parameters include a supply voltage range of 0.82V to 0.88V for the core and integrated memory capacities supporting high-bandwidth applications.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 MPCore processor with CoreSight debug infrastructure for embedded processing tasks.
• Supports high-speed serial communication through advanced transceiver technology capable of multi-gigabit data rates.
• Combines FPGA fabric with embedded processors to enable system-on-chip (SoC) architectures for complex digital logic.

Applications

• High-performance networking equipment requiring parallel processing and low-latency packet handling.
• Industrial automation systems utilizing embedded control alongside programmable logic interfaces.
• Test and measurement instruments demanding flexible signal processing capabilities.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm temperature grade and package variant accuracy. Ensure compatibility with required design tools such as Quartus Prime software versions supporting the Stratix 10 family. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling procedures during assembly to prevent damage.

Selection Notes

Select this model when both high-density FPGA resources and embedded ARM processing are required in a single component. Compare pin counts and I/O availability against alternative Stratix 10 variants to ensure mechanical fit. Evaluate thermal management requirements given the power consumption characteristics of the 2500K logic element count.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix 10 SX series, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring significant logic density and embedded processing. It shares architectural similarities with other Stratix 10 devices but offers specific I/O and package configurations tailored for mid-range performance needs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Stratix 10 SX variants with compatible pinouts or higher logic densities. Verify functional equivalence regarding processor integration and transceiver specifications before substitution.
