Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm package type, speed grade, and operating temperature range. Ensure compatibility with required PCB layout guidelines for the 2912-ball FBGA form factor. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling procedures during assembly to prevent damage. Cross-reference part numbers with current product lifecycle status to ensure long-term availability.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of high logic density and integrated processing power is required. Compare against Stratix 10 SX variants if lower cost or different memory configurations are acceptable. Evaluate thermal management requirements due to the high performance of the FPGA fabric and embedded processor. Consider the 28.3 Gb/s transceiver capability for high-bandwidth interface needs.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Intel Stratix 10 LX family, designed for mid-to-high-end applications requiring significant programmable logic combined with embedded processing. It sits between the smaller Stratix 10 GX/SX devices and the larger Stratix 10 MX/GX models in terms of resource capacity. The family emphasizes flexibility for prototyping before potential migration to HardCopy versions.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other Stratix 10 LX devices with compatible pinouts and similar resource counts, such as the 1SX280LH series. Verify electrical characteristics and timing constraints when substituting with higher or lower density variants within the same package.
