1SX250LH2F55I1VG

Overview

The Altera 1SX250LH2F55I1VG is a Stratix 10 SX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) featuring an embedded quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor. It provides approximately 2,500K logic elements and 821,150 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs). The device integrates 195 Mbit of embedded memory and supports up to 1,160 I/O pins. It operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to +100°C and utilizes a 2912-ball FC-BGA package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 MPCore processor with CoreSight debug infrastructure for system-level control.
• Supports high-speed serial connectivity via integrated transceivers capable of data rates up to 28.3 Gb/s.
• Features MultiVolt I/O technology allowing flexible voltage compatibility across different signaling standards.

Applications

• High-performance networking equipment requiring low-latency packet processing.
• Industrial automation systems utilizing embedded processor control.
• Test and measurement instruments demanding high-density programmable logic.

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to the presence of counterfeit risks in the market. Confirm that the specific ordering suffix matches the required speed grade and package variant. Ensure storage conditions adhere to moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements to prevent damage during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this model when both high-capacity FPGA fabric and embedded ARM processing are required on a single die. Compare against the Stratix 10 GX series if transceiver count or specific I/O configurations differ from project needs. Evaluate thermal management capabilities as the device generates significant heat under full load.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Intel (formerly Altera) Stratix 10 family, representing a System-on-Chip (SoC) architecture. It combines the programmability of an FPGA with the efficiency of an ARM processor, targeting applications that require complex data processing alongside system control functions.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional replacements within the same package and pinout are limited within the Stratix 10 SX family. Consider the 1SX250HH1F55I2VG or 1SX250HH2F55I2LG for similar specifications, though speed grades and manufacturing revisions may differ. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility before substitution.
