Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix LN2 against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics, as variations exist within the Stratix 10 family. Confirm availability through authorized distributors, noting that lead times may vary based on manufacturing schedules. Ensure compliance with RoHS and REACH regulations as specified in the product datasheet before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of moderate logic density (2500K LEs) and embedded ARM processing is required. Compare against the 1SX250HN series if different packaging or thermal performance is needed. Evaluate memory requirements against the integrated 256KB RAM and consider external memory interfaces via the EBI/EMI controller for larger data storage needs.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix 10 SX family, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring embedded processing alongside FPGA fabric. It shares architectural similarities with other Stratix 10 devices but offers specific logic density and interface configurations tailored for industrial and communication markets. The part number indicates a specific package and temperature grade within the broader SX lineup.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other Stratix 10 SX variants such as 1SX250HN2F43I2LG or 1SX280HN2F43I2LG, provided pin compatibility and thermal constraints are met. Verify that the alternative part number supports the same 1760-FBGA footprint and operating temperature range.
