CYCLONE 10 LP

Overview

The Altera Cyclone 10 LP is a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) IC featuring 24,624 logic elements and 1539 LABs/CLBs. It provides 150 I/O pins and includes 608,256 total RAM bits for data storage. The device operates on a standard 1.2V core voltage (suffix Y), with an optional lower 1.0V option for specific speed grades. It supports commercial, industrial, and automotive temperature ranges, functioning within a junction temperature of -40°C to 125°C. The component is housed in a 256-LFBGA package.

Feature Summary

• Logic Capacity: 24,624 logic elements organized into 1539 LABs/CLBs.
• Memory Resources: 608,256 total bits of embedded RAM.
• I/O Interface: 150 programmable I/O pins supporting various single-ended and differential standards.
• Power Supply: Standard 1.2V VCCINT operation; 1.0V option available for –I8 grade.

Applications

• Industrial IoT sensor fusion and bridging applications.
• Low-power system integration and I/O expansion.
• Prototyping hardware systems using Nios II processors.
• Cost-optimized solutions requiring high I/O per logic element.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific speed grade suffix (e.g., C8, I7, A7) against the required operating temperature range and performance specifications. Confirm the core voltage requirement, as the 'Y' suffix indicates 1.2V operation, while 'Z' denotes 1.0V. Ensure the 256-LFBGA package dimensions match the PCB footprint requirements before ordering.

Selection Notes

Select based on the necessary logic density and memory capacity relative to the design complexity. Choose the appropriate temperature grade (Commercial, Industrial, or Automotive) to meet environmental constraints. Verify that the 150 I/O count suffices for all external connections, considering the supported I/O standards such as LVCMOS, SSTL, or LVDS.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Intel Cyclone 10 LP family, designed for power and cost-optimized applications. It serves as a scalable solution for embedded logic, offering a balance between performance and resource utilization. The family includes variants with different speed grades and package options to suit diverse industrial and consumer needs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 256-LFBGA package and pinout. Consider other Cyclone 10 LP devices with similar logic counts if pin compatibility allows. Cross-family migration to Agilex or Stratix requires significant redesign due to architectural differences.
