Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm package type, temperature grade, and humidity sensitivity level. Ensure compatibility with required PCB footprint and thermal management solutions. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors or the manufacturer, as availability varies by region and production cycle.

Selection Notes

Select this model when designs require a balance of high logic density and embedded processing capabilities within the Stratix 10 SX family. Compare against the 1SG series if lower power consumption is critical, or the 1SX series variants if different package sizes or industrial temperature ranges are needed. Validate that the 2397-pin FBGA package fits the mechanical constraints of the target system.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Intel Stratix 10 SX FPGA SoC family, designed for mid-to-high-end applications requiring efficient compute performance. It shares architectural similarities with other Stratix 10 devices but offers specific resource scaling suitable for cost-sensitive high-performance designs. The SX series typically targets applications where power efficiency and moderate logic density are prioritized over the highest possible bandwidth found in GX or TX variants.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other Stratix 10 SX models such as 1SX250HH3F55E3XG or 1SX250LN3F43E3YG, depending on package size and temperature requirements. Cross-family migration to Agilex 3 may be considered for future-proofing, though pinouts and software flows will differ significantly.
