Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Intel/Altera documentation to ensure correct package type, speed grade, and industrial temperature rating. Confirm that the ordering information matches the required pinout and electrical characteristics for your design implementation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a combination of significant FPGA logic capacity and embedded ARM processing is required in a compact 1760-pin form factor. Ensure the design accounts for the 1.5GHz maximum frequency and the specific thermal requirements associated with the -40°C to 100°C operating range.

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 processor core architecture but differs in logic density and transceiver capabilities. The 1SX250 variant offers a balanced resource count for mid-range SoC FPGA implementations.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same package and pinout include other Stratix 10 SX devices with matching logic densities, such as the 1SX280 series if higher capacity is acceptable, provided the software configuration remains compatible.
