1SX250LU3F50E3VG

Overview

The Altera 1SX250LU3F50E3VG is a Stratix 10 SX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) System on Chip (SoC). It integrates a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor with an FPGA fabric containing 2,500,000 logic elements and 821,150 Adaptive Logic Modules. The device features 195 Mbit of embedded memory and 96 high-speed transceivers capable of data rates up to 28.3 Gb/s. It operates within a voltage range of 770 mV to 970 mV and supports a maximum junction temperature of 100°C. The component is housed in a 2397-ball FCBGA package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 MPCore processor with CoreSight debug infrastructure for embedded processing tasks.
• Provides high-density programmable logic fabric with extensive embedded memory resources for complex system integration.
• Includes multiple high-speed serial transceivers supporting advanced communication protocols and high-bandwidth data transfer.

Applications

• High-performance networking equipment requiring significant packet processing capabilities.
• Industrial automation systems utilizing embedded control and real-time logic execution.
• Medical imaging devices demanding high throughput data acquisition and processing.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm package type, operating temperature range, and speed grade. Ensure compatibility with required PCB thermal management solutions due to the high pin count and power density of the 2397-ball FCBGA package. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling procedures during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a combined processing and programmable logic solution is required within the Stratix 10 SX family. Compare logic element counts and transceiver speeds against other variants like the 1SG series if SoC capabilities are not needed. Evaluate power consumption profiles relative to the specific application workload and cooling constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Intel Stratix 10 SX family, designed for cost-optimized high-performance applications. It bridges the gap between standard FPGAs and complex SoCs by integrating hardened ARM processors directly onto the silicon die alongside the configurable logic fabric.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional replacements within the same package and pinout are limited within the Stratix 10 lineup. Consider the 1SX250LN3F50E3VG or similar variants from the same family for potential pin-compatible upgrades, subject to verification of electrical specifications and speed grades.
