Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm package type, temperature grade, and product status. Ensure compatibility with required configuration methods and power delivery specifications before procurement. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling requirements during storage and assembly processes.

Selection Notes

Select this model when designs require a balance of substantial logic capacity and embedded processing power within a single device. Evaluate the 1760-ball FBGA package constraints against PCB layout limitations. Compare the 28.3 Gb/s transceiver performance against application bandwidth needs to ensure adequate connectivity options are available.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix 10 SX family, designed for mid-to-high-end applications requiring integrated processing and programmable logic. It succeeds earlier generations by offering improved performance per watt and higher density in comparable form factors. The series targets markets demanding both hardware flexibility and software-defined functionality.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same package and pinout may include other Stratix 10 SX variants with adjusted logic or memory sizes. Verify electrical compatibility and thermal characteristics when substituting with different speed grades or industrial temperature rated versions from the same family.
