Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm temperature grade and package variant accuracy. Ensure compatibility with required PCB design guidelines for the 1760-FBGA form factor. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling procedures during assembly to prevent damage. Cross-reference part numbers with current manufacturer advisories to account for any labeling or specification updates.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of substantial FPGA logic capacity and embedded ARM processing is required within a compact footprint. Consider the 1760-ball package constraints for board layout density. Evaluate power consumption requirements using PowerPlay tools, as high logic utilization impacts thermal management. Verify that the 940 mV core voltage supply rails meet the stability requirements for reliable operation at 1.5 GHz.

Part Context

This component is part of the Stratix 10 SX family, designed for applications needing scalable performance between smaller SX devices and larger GX variants. It shares the same 1760-FBGA package and ARM processor core as other members like the 1SX165 and 1SX110, differing primarily in logic resource count. It serves as a mid-range solution in the Stratix 10 portfolio for cost-sensitive high-performance designs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes within the same package and pinout include the 1SX280HN2F43I1VG and 1SX280LN3F43E2VGS2. These alternatives share the 2800K logic capacity and 1760-FBGA form factor but may differ in temperature range or speed grade. Verify electrical characteristics and software compatibility before substitution.
