1SX250HU3F50E2LG

Overview

The Altera 1SX250HU3F50E2LG 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 821,150 Adaptive Logic Modules within a 2912-ball FCBGA package. The device includes 195 Mbit of embedded memory and operates at a maximum processor speed of 1.5 GHz. Supply voltages range from 770 mV to 970 mV, with a typical operating voltage of 940 mV. It supports data rates up to 28.3 Gb/s across its transceivers and functions within a junction temperature range of 0°C to 100°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 MPCore processor with CoreSight debug capabilities for system control and processing tasks.
• Combines high-density FPGA fabric with embedded hard processor system functionality in a single silicon die.
• Supports high-speed serial communication through integrated transceivers capable of 28.3 Gb/s data rates.

Applications

• High-performance networking infrastructure equipment
• Industrial automation controllers requiring mixed programmability
• Medical imaging systems demanding high throughput

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm temperature grade and package variant accuracy. Ensure compatibility with existing board designs regarding the 2912-ball FCBGA footprint and power delivery requirements. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling procedures during assembly to prevent damage.

Selection Notes

Select this model when both high-capacity logic resources and embedded ARM processing are required in a compact form factor. Compare against the GX series if higher transceiver counts or different I/O densities are needed instead of the SX's specific integration profile. Evaluate thermal management solutions suitable for the specified junction temperature limits.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix 10 SX family, which targets applications needing significant on-chip processing alongside reconfigurable logic. It differs from the GX series by emphasizing the integration of the ARM processor core rather than maximizing pure transceiver bandwidth. The 2500K logic element count places it in the upper tier of the Stratix 10 portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed direct substitute part numbers are not available in the provided source material. Engineering changes may require evaluation of pin-to-pin compatibility and software migration efforts for the embedded processor subsystem.
