1SX280HN3F43E2LG

Overview

The Altera 1SX280HN3F43E2LG is a System-on-Chip FPGA from the Stratix 10 SX family, integrating an ARM Cortex-A53 processor with programmable logic. It features 2,800K logic elements and 933,120 Adaptive Logic Modules within a 1760-ball FBGA package. The device includes 229 Mbit of embedded memory and supports up to 1160 I/Os. It operates at a core voltage of 940 mV and includes 48 high-speed transceivers. The industrial temperature range extends from -40°C to +100°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 MPCore processor with CoreSight debug infrastructure for embedded control tasks.
• Provides extensive connectivity through multiple hard peripheral interfaces including Ethernet, USB OTG, and SPI.
• Supports dynamic voltage scaling via SmartVID technology managed by the Secure Device Manager subsystem.

Applications

• High-performance networking equipment requiring integrated processing and packet handling.
• Industrial automation controllers utilizing the embedded ARM processor for real-time execution.
• Test and measurement instruments leveraging high-speed serial transceivers for data acquisition.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm package type, temperature rating, and feature set. Ensure that the power supply design strictly adheres to PMBus requirements if SmartVID functionality is utilized, as incorrect implementation may prevent device configuration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a combination of substantial FPGA fabric capacity and embedded ARM processing is required. Compare against the 1SX280LN variant to determine if the extended industrial temperature range (-40°C) is necessary for the target environment. Evaluate the 1760-pin package constraints against board space limitations.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix 10 SX series, which targets cost-sensitive applications compared to the GX series. It shares the same silicon architecture but differs in transceiver capabilities and pricing tiers. The 'HN' designation typically indicates the specific package and speed grade within the SX lineup.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes are limited due to the proprietary nature of the Stratix 10 architecture. Consider migration paths to Agilex 5 or Agilex 7 families for future-proofing, though pin compatibility will not be maintained. Verify availability of equivalent density devices from other vendors if supply chain risks exist.
