Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Intel/Altera documentation to ensure correct package type and temperature grade. Confirm that the required power delivery solution supports the device's voltage requirements. Check for any relevant Product Change Notifications regarding labeling or packaging updates before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a combination of significant FPGA fabric resources and an embedded ARM application processor is required. Ensure the design accommodates the 1760-ball FCBGA footprint and thermal dissipation needs for the specified operating temperature range. Validate peripheral interface compatibility with system requirements prior to implementation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix 10 SX family, designed for cost-optimized applications compared to the GX series. It targets markets needing substantial logic capacity combined with embedded processing, distinguishing it from pure FPGA devices or microcontrollers by integrating both architectures on a single die.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same package and pinout may include other Stratix 10 SX variants with compatible speed grades. Verify functional equivalence of the embedded processor and logic density when considering alternative part numbers from the same product family.
