Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including suffixes such as I3XG against official Intel/Altera documentation to ensure correct speed grade, temperature rating, and packaging specifications. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling requirements prior to assembly. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to validate current design parameters and compliance status before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a combined FPGA and processor solution is required for high-throughput applications. Ensure the 1760-ball package fits the PCB layout constraints. Verify that the available I/O count and transceiver lanes meet interface requirements. Compare power consumption profiles against thermal management capabilities in the target enclosure design.

Part Context

This device belongs to the Stratix 10 SX family, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring significant logic density and embedded processing. It shares architectural similarities with other Stratix 10 variants but offers specific resource configurations optimized for mixed-signal and control-intensive tasks within the broader Intel FPGA portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Stratix 10 SX parts with compatible pinouts and resources, such as 1SX280HN3F43I2VG or 1SX280HN3F43E1VGAS. Verify functional equivalence regarding processor speed, memory size, and transceiver performance before substitution.
