1SX250LH3F55E2LG

Overview

The Altera 1SX250LH3F55E2LG is a Stratix 10 SX FPGA featuring 2,500,000 logic elements and 821,150 Adaptive Logic Modules. It integrates 195 Mbit of embedded memory and supports 1,160 I/Os with 24 transceivers operating at data rates up to 28.3 Gb/s. The device operates at a core voltage of 940 mV within an ambient temperature range of -40°C to +100°C. Packaged in a 2912-ball FBGA, it combines high-performance programmable logic with an embedded quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor running at 1.5 GHz.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 MPCore processor with CoreSight debug capabilities for embedded control tasks.
• Provides extensive connectivity through 24 high-speed transceivers supporting advanced serial protocols.
• Features large-scale programmable fabric with over two million logic elements and significant embedded memory capacity.

Applications

• High-performance telecommunications infrastructure requiring low-latency processing.
• Industrial automation systems utilizing embedded processor control alongside field-programmable logic.
• Test and measurement equipment demanding high-speed data acquisition and signal processing.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm temperature grade and package variant. Confirm lifecycle status as distribution channels may list obsolete or end-of-life inventory. Ensure compatibility with required configuration memory devices and power delivery specifications before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a combined FPGA and embedded processor solution is required for complex system-on-chip designs. Compare logic density and transceiver counts against alternative Stratix 10 variants to ensure optimal resource utilization. Verify that the 2912-ball package footprint aligns with existing PCB layout constraints and thermal management requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix 10 SX family, designed for systems requiring both high-performance logic and embedded processing. It succeeds earlier generations by integrating ARM processors directly onto the FPGA die, reducing board space and interconnect latency compared to discrete processor-FPGA combinations.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other Stratix 10 SX devices with similar logic densities such as the 1SX280 series. Cross-family migration to Agilex devices requires architectural adaptation due to differences in architecture and software tools.
