Procurement Notes

Verify export compliance requirements prior to ordering, as this component may require additional documentation for shipment from the United States. Confirm that the design utilizes a PMBus-compliant voltage regulator if SmartVID functionality is required, as improper implementation can prevent device configuration. Ensure the PCB layout accommodates the specific thermal and mechanical constraints of the 1760-FBGA package.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a combination of substantial FPGA fabric capacity and embedded ARM processing is necessary. The Stratix 10 SX series is suitable for applications needing high-speed serial communication via its numerous transceivers. Consider the -E suffix variant if SmartVID support is needed for advanced power management optimization. Validate that the target environment operates within the specified commercial temperature range of 0°C to 100°C.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Intel (formerly Altera) Stratix 10 SX family, designed for cost-sensitive yet high-performance applications. It bridges the gap between general-purpose processors and pure FPGAs by integrating hard processor systems. The SX variant specifically targets applications where moderate logic density meets significant I/O and connectivity needs without the premium cost of higher-end GX or HX families.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional replacements within the same package and pinout are not publicly documented for this specific part number. Upgrades typically involve migrating to newer Intel Agilex families, which requires significant schematic and firmware redesign. Cross-referencing with other Stratix 10 variants requires careful verification of pin compatibility and feature sets.
