1SX280LN3F43I1VG

Overview

The Altera 1SX280LN3F43I1VG is a Stratix 10 SX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) featuring an embedded System-on-Chip (SoC). It integrates 2,800,000 logic elements and includes a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 MPCore processor operating at 1.5 GHz with 256 KB RAM. The device provides 688 I/Os within a 1760-ball FCBGA package measuring 42.5x42.5 mm. Core supply voltage ranges from 0.77 V to 0.97 V, while the operating temperature spans -40°C to 100°C TJ. It supports standard interfaces including Ethernet, SPI, UART, USB OTG, and MMC/SD/SDIO.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 MPCore processor with CoreSight debug support for embedded control tasks
• Combines high-density FPGA fabric with hard processor system capabilities in a single SoC architecture
• Supports multiple peripheral connectivity standards including Ethernet, USB OTG, and serial interfaces

Applications

• Network infrastructure equipment requiring integrated processing and programmable logic
• Industrial automation controllers utilizing embedded ARM cores for real-time management
• Test and measurement instruments needing flexible digital signal processing capabilities

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix configuration against design requirements before ordering. Confirm that the selected variant matches the required package dimensions and thermal specifications. Ensure compatibility with the intended programming interface and power delivery network. Check for any recent product change notices regarding labeling or material composition updates prior to final procurement approval.

Selection Notes

Select this model when both high-performance FPGA logic and embedded ARM processing are required in a single component. Compare against the GX series if transceiver speed is the primary constraint rather than embedded processing needs. Evaluate the 1760-ball package constraints against board space limitations. Verify that the 1.5 GHz processor frequency meets the application's computational requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Intel Stratix 10 SX family, which distinguishes itself by integrating hard processor systems alongside FPGA fabric. Unlike the GX series focused on high-speed transceivers, the SX series emphasizes embedded computing integration. The 1SX280 variant represents the 2800K logic element density tier within this specific SoC-oriented lineup.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional equivalents within the same package and pinout are limited due to the specific SoC integration. Consider the 1SX280HN2F43I1VG for identical performance characteristics. Cross-family migration to Agilex devices requires significant architectural redesign and is not a direct pin-compatible replacement.
