1SX250LN3F43E3VG

Overview

The Altera 1SX250LN3F43E3VG is a Stratix 10 SX System on Chip FPGA featuring a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor running at 1.5 GHz. It integrates 2,500K logic elements and 195 Mbit of embedded memory within a 1760-ball FCBGA package measuring 42.5x42.5 mm. The device supports data rates up to 28.3 Gb/s via its transceivers and operates within a junction temperature range of 0°C to 100°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 MPCore processor with CoreSight debug capabilities for high-performance processing.
• Provides extensive programmable logic fabric with 2,500K logic elements and significant embedded memory resources.
• Supports high-speed serial communication through multiple transceivers capable of 28.3 Gb/s data rates.

Applications

• High-performance networking infrastructure equipment
• Industrial automation and control systems
• Medical imaging devices requiring high throughput

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix E3 against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics. Confirm moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) handling requirements during assembly. Ensure compatibility with Quartus Prime software versions supporting the Stratix 10 SX family before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a combined FPGA fabric and ARM processor core is required in a single chip. Compare logic density and transceiver counts against Stratix 10 GX variants if no processor is needed. Verify that the 1760-ball package fits the target PCB footprint and thermal design constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix 10 SX family, which targets cost-sensitive applications compared to the higher-end Stratix 10 GX series. It shares the same HBM technology base but omits the High Bandwidth Memory interface to reduce cost while retaining significant logic and processing capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements are limited within the same family. Consider the 1SX250LN3F43E3XG for identical functionality with potential packaging or labeling differences. Cross-family migration to Agilex requires significant redesign due to architectural changes.
