Feature Summary

• Integrates a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 MPCore processor with CoreSight technology for embedded processing capabilities.
• Provides high-density programmable logic with 2.5 million logic elements within the Stratix 10 SX architecture.
• Supports diverse connectivity through integrated peripherals including Ethernet, USB OTG, and standard serial interfaces.

Applications

• High-performance network infrastructure equipment requiring combined processing and programmable logic.
• Industrial automation systems utilizing embedded control and real-time data processing.
• Medical imaging devices needing high-speed data acquisition and flexible interface support.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'E1' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm voltage and temperature grades. Confirm package markings and date codes match current production standards. Ensure compatibility with required configuration methods and external memory interfaces before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of moderate logic density and powerful embedded ARM processing is required. Compare against the 1SG series if pure FPGA performance without an embedded processor is sufficient. Evaluate thermal management requirements given the 100°C junction temperature limit and power consumption characteristics of the SoC architecture.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix 10 SX family, designed for mid-range applications balancing cost and performance. It sits below the higher-density Stratix 10 GX and TX families in terms of transceiver count but offers significant embedded processing advantages over pure FPGA counterparts in the same logic class.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements are limited within the same package and pinout. Consider the 1SX250LN3F43I2VG for industrial temperature ranges or different speed grades. Cross-family migration to Agilex may require schematic and layout redesign due to architectural differences.
