1SX250LN3F43I2LG

Overview

The Altera 1SX250LN3F43I2LG is a Stratix 10 SX System on Chip FPGA featuring an embedded quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor with CoreSight debug support. It integrates 2,500K logic elements and 195 Mbit of embedded memory within a 1760-pin FCBGA package measuring 42.5x42.5 mm. The device supports high-speed transceivers and operates at a maximum clock frequency of 1 GHz. It includes 256KB of RAM and functions within a junction temperature range of -40°C to 100°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 MPCore processor with CoreSight technology for embedded control and debugging.
• Provides 2,500K logic elements and 195 Mbit of embedded memory for complex programmable logic applications.
• Supports multiple connectivity interfaces including Ethernet, USB OTG, SPI, I2C, and UART/USART.

Applications

• High-performance network infrastructure equipment
• Industrial automation and control systems
• Medical imaging devices requiring integrated processing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'LN3' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics match system requirements. Confirm moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) handling procedures are followed during assembly. Ensure compatibility with the required programming tools and license models for the Stratix 10 SX family before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a combined FPGA fabric and ARM processor core is required in a compact 1760-ball package. It is suitable for designs needing moderate logic density (2500K LEs) alongside embedded software execution capabilities. Consider the 195 Mbit embedded memory capacity for data buffering needs.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix 10 SX family, which targets mid-range SoC FPGA applications. It shares the same 1760-FBGA footprint as other variants in the series but offers specific logic and memory resources defined by the '250' designation. It complements the GX series by providing integrated processor cores rather than focusing solely on high-speed serial transceivers.

Replacement Considerations

Check Intel's official obsolescence notices for potential end-of-life status. Verify if newer Agilex or Stratix 10 GX/SX variants with updated process nodes offer direct pin-compatible upgrades. Consult the manufacturer's product selection guide for cross-referencing logic element counts and package dimensions.
