Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I2' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm the industrial temperature grade and pin compatibility. Ensure the design environment supports the required Stratix 10 SX IP libraries. Confirm export compliance requirements as this component may be subject to international trade regulations depending on the destination region.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of high logic density and embedded processing capability is required. The 2397-ball package accommodates significant I/O counts suitable for complex board layouts. Consider the power supply requirements for the 940 mV core voltage and ensure the PCB layout supports the necessary decoupling for the integrated ARM processors and FPGA fabric.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix 10 SX family, which combines FPGA programmability with ARM Cortex-A53 processors. It targets applications needing both hardware acceleration and software flexibility. The 'LU' designation indicates specific speed grades and package configurations within the broader Stratix 10 portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Stratix 10 SX variants such as 1SX250HN or 1SX250HH series parts, provided the package footprint and pinout remain compatible. Verify that any replacement maintains the same logic density and transceiver count to ensure functional parity in existing designs.
