Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Intel documentation to confirm temperature range and package variations. Ensure compliance with export regulations as this product may require additional documentation for shipment from the United States. Confirm moisture sensitivity level requirements during storage and handling procedures.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designs require significant logic capacity combined with embedded processing capabilities. Compare resource utilization against the Stratix 10 GX series if high-speed transceiver density is the primary constraint rather than logic volume. Evaluate power consumption profiles relative to the 0.85 V core voltage operation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix 10 SX family, which targets cost-sensitive applications compared to the GX series. It shares the same 1760-ball FBGA footprint but differs in internal memory architecture and transceiver specifications. The SX variant emphasizes balanced performance for general-purpose SoC FPGA implementations.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Stratix 10 SX devices with compatible pinouts such as 1SX250HN2F43I2LG or 1SX250LN3F43E3XG. Verify that alternative parts match the required logic element count and transceiver specifications before implementation.
