Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Intel datasheets to confirm operational temperature ranges and package variants. Ensure compatibility with required power delivery standards, particularly if SmartVID features are utilized. Confirm that the ordering part number matches the exact density and speed grade required for the design specifications before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a unified solution combining ARM processing and high-density FPGA logic is required. Compare the 2800K logic capacity against project requirements to avoid over-specification. Evaluate the 1760-ball BGA package constraints during PCB layout planning. Consider the -40°C to 100°C operating range for industrial or automotive environments where wider thermal margins are necessary.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix 10 SX family, which targets cost-sensitive applications compared to the GX series. It shares the same hard processor system architecture but offers lower logic density. The SX series is designed for applications needing moderate FPGA resources combined with powerful ARM processing capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Stratix 10 SX devices with compatible pinouts and higher or lower logic densities. Verify electrical compatibility and software toolchain support when migrating between different densities within the same family.
