1SX280HN2F43E1VGS3

Overview

The Altera 1SX280HN2F43E1VGS3 is a Stratix 10 SX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) System on Chip (SoC). It integrates 2,800,000 logic elements and 933,120 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs) with 229 Mbit of embedded memory. The device features a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 MPCore processor running at 1.5 GHz, equipped with 256 KB RAM and CoreSight debug capabilities. It provides 1,160 I/Os and operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to +100°C. The component utilizes a 1760-ball FBGA package measuring 42.5x42.5 mm and supports standard interfaces including Ethernet, USB OTG, SPI, and UART.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a hard processor system with a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 MPCore for embedded control tasks
• Provides high-density programmable logic with over 2.8 million logic elements and extensive embedded memory
• Supports diverse connectivity standards including Ethernet, USB OTG, and various serial protocols

Applications

• High-performance computing systems requiring integrated FPGA and processor capabilities
• Telecommunications infrastructure utilizing Ethernet and high-speed serial interfaces
• Industrial automation controllers needing robust processing and real-time logic execution

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix E1 against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm it denotes the commercial temperature grade (-40°C to +100°C) rather than an industrial variant. Ensure the 1760-FBGA package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements. Confirm moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) handling procedures are followed during assembly to prevent damage.

Selection Notes

Select this model when both high-logic density and embedded ARM processing are required in a single component. Compare the 1760-pin count against pin availability needs; if fewer pins are sufficient, consider smaller packages in the Stratix 10 SX family. Verify that the 1.5 GHz processor speed meets your software execution latency requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix 10 SX series, which combines FPGA fabric with a Hard Processor System (HPS). It shares architectural similarities with other SX variants but differs in package size and I/O count. It is distinct from the Stratix 10 GX series, which focuses on high-speed transceivers rather than embedded processing integration.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional replacements within the same package and specification set are not publicly listed as interchangeable part numbers. Upgrades may involve moving to Agilex families, which require significant design adaptation due to architectural differences.
