Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix E3 against official Intel documentation to confirm manufacturing revision and material compliance status. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required package variant and speed grade. Confirm that the supplier provides valid traceability documents consistent with the manufacturer's current product change notifications.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a combined FPGA and ARM processor solution is required within the Stratix 10 SX density class. Verify that the 2912-ball package fits the target PCB footprint constraints. Ensure the design accommodates the specific voltage regulation requirements for the core and I/O domains specified in the datasheet.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix 10 SX family, which targets high-end applications requiring significant logic capacity alongside embedded processing capabilities. It serves as a successor to previous generation SoC FPGAs, offering improved performance per watt and higher integration levels for complex system architectures.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements are limited within the same family due to pinout and feature variations. Consider the 1SX280HH3F55E3VG for similar density but verify HPS configuration differences. Migration to Agilex families requires significant redesign.
