Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm package type and temperature grade. Ensure compliance with export regulations as this component may require additional authorization for international shipment. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling requirements during storage and assembly processes.

Selection Notes

Select this model when requiring a balance of high-end FPGA fabric capacity and embedded ARM processing power. Verify that the 2397-pin FBGA footprint fits the target PCB layout constraints. Ensure the design utilizes SmartVID-compatible voltage regulators if dynamic voltage scaling is required for optimal performance.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix 10 SX family, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring substantial logic density. It shares architectural similarities with other SX variants but differs in pin count and specific I/O configurations. The LU suffix indicates a specific package and thermal solution variant within the broader product line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other Stratix 10 SX devices with compatible pinouts such as 1SX250LU3F50I2VG or 1SX250LU3F50E1VG. Cross-family migration to Agilex series requires significant redesign due to architectural differences.
