• Supports high-speed serial communication through integrated transceiver blocks
• Features embedded memory arrays for efficient data buffering and storage

Applications

• High-performance networking equipment requiring low-latency packet processing
• Industrial automation systems utilizing embedded control processors
• Medical imaging devices demanding high throughput data handling
• Test and measurement instruments requiring flexible signal processing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix E1 against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm manufacturing revision and quality grade. Ensure compatibility with required power delivery specifications, particularly regarding the 940 mV core voltage requirement. Confirm that the 1760-FBGA package dimensions align with your PCB footprint design constraints before finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this model when both substantial FPGA fabric capacity and an embedded ARM application processor are required in a single component. Compare the 2.8 million LE count against alternative Stratix 10 variants to ensure sufficient logic density. Verify that the 1760-pin package size fits within your mechanical enclosure limits and thermal management strategy.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix 10 SX family, which targets system-level integration by combining FPGA logic with ARM processors. It serves as a successor to previous generation SoC FPGAs, offering improved performance per watt. The SX designation indicates a focus on system complexity rather than pure maximum frequency optimization found in other series.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the same package are limited. Consider the 1SX280HN3F43I3VG for extended temperature ranges or different speed grades. Evaluate the 1SG280HN1F43E1VG if GX transceiver capabilities are preferred over SX features, though pinouts may differ.
