Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix E2LG against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm the exact temperature grade and package variant. Ensure that the design includes a PMBus-compliant voltage regulator if SmartVID functionality is required, as incorrect implementation may prevent device configuration. Confirm availability status directly with authorized distributors due to potential supply chain fluctuations.

Selection Notes

Select this model when both substantial FPGA logic resources and an integrated ARM processor are necessary. Compare the 2800K logic element count against alternative Stratix 10 variants to ensure sufficient capacity. Verify that the 1760-ball FBGA package fits the board space constraints and that the thermal solution supports the specified junction temperature range.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix 10 SX family, which combines high-density FPGA fabric with a hard processor system. It is designed for applications requiring complex system integration on a single chip. The part number indicates specific package, speed, and temperature grades unique to this SKU within the broader Stratix portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Stratix 10 SX devices with compatible pinouts and similar resource counts, such as 1SX280HN1F43E1VGS3 or 1SX280LN3F43E2VGS2. Verify functional equivalence regarding the processor core and transceiver specifications before substitution.
