Typical Applications
10AX115U1F45E1SG is suitable for 6 applications: 100G Ethernet Line Card, Wireless Baseband Aggregation, Broadcast Video Processing, ASIC Prototyping, Software-Defined Radio (SDR), Test & Measurement Instrumentation.
100G Ethernet Line Card
The 10AX115U1F45E1SG's 24 transceivers at 14.4 Gbps make it a strong fit for 100G Ethernet line cards where multiple 25G CAUI-4 lanes must terminate. Its 1.15M LE budget accommodates the full Ethernet MAC plus classification and shim logic, while embedded M20K memory (68.85 Mbit) holds packet descriptors and queue structures without external SSRAM. Power dissipation typically reaches 25-35W, requiring a multiphase 0.9V VRM.
Recommended
Wireless Baseband Aggregation
Wireless baseband aggregation units benefit from the 10AX115U1F45E1SG's DSP block density and multi-rate transceiver coverage up to 14.4 Gbps for CPRI or OBSAI backhaul links. The 1.15M LE fabric can implement channel cards, FFT/iFFT engines, and HARQ buffers in parallel. The F45 FCBGA-1932 package's 45x45 mm footprint is acceptable for ATCA-style line cards.
Recommended
Broadcast Video Processing
The 10AX115U1F45E1SG's logic density supports multi-channel 4K video processing, including scaling, deinterlacing, and color-space conversion pipelines. The 14.4 Gbps transceivers handle SDI (SMPTE ST-424/ST-2082) and 12G-SDI coaxial interfaces, while general-purpose I/Os at LVDS rates support parallel display interfaces. The 20 nm process keeps per-channel power low enough for rack-dense chassis.
Recommended
ASIC Prototyping
ASIC prototyping on the 10AX115U1F45E1SG leverages 1.15M LE for mapping mid-range ASIC RTL directly into the Arria 10 GX fabric. The F45 FCBGA-1932 package's high I/O count (480 user pins) accommodates most ASIC boundary requirements. Quartus Prime's synthesis flow supports ASIC-mapped netlists with timing-driven placement, allowing accurate pre-silicon verification.
Recommended
Software-Defined Radio (SDR)
Software-defined radio systems using the 10AX115U1F45E1SG exploit its DSP blocks for wideband DDC/DUC, FFT, and modulation/demodulation in a single device. The 14.4 Gbps transceivers digitize RF at IF or baseband over JESD204B/C interfaces to high-speed ADCs. The 68.85 Mbit embedded M20K memory holds wide sample buffers and FFT windows.
Recommended
Test & Measurement Instrumentation
Multi-channel test and measurement instruments rely on the 10AX115U1F45E1SG for protocol-aware pattern generation, BERT, and high-speed capture. The 24 transceivers at 14.4 Gbps simultaneously drive and acquire from multiple DUT lanes, while the 1.15M LE fabric implements protocol stacks (PCIe, Ethernet, USB) as soft cores. The F45 package's high pin count supports extensive front-panel I/O.

Key Differentiators
- Highest-density Arria 10 GX with 24 transceivers in F45 package (vs 10AX090U1F45E1SG)
- Pin-compatible speed grade flexibility (vs 10AX115U2F45E1SG)
- Logic parity vs N grade at lower cost when transceivers unused (vs 10AX115N2F45E2SG)
Design Notes
The 1932-ball FCBGA (F45) requires an 8-10 layer PCB stackup for fanout. Use 1.0 mm ball pitch microvia-in-pad construction; outer microvias must land directly on the BGA pad to support 14.4 Gbps transceiver routing. Maintain 100 ohm differential impedance for transceiver channels and stitch ground vias every 2-3 mm around the BGA perimeter. Reference the Arria 10 device handbook for via pattern recommendations.
Estimated: at full utilization with 24 active transceivers, the 10AX115U1F45E1SG core draws ~25-35W from a 0.9 V supply. Use a multiphase VRM (4-6 phases) with output inductors sized for 25A peak; place bulk decoupling within 25 mm of the BGA. Aux rails (1.8V, 2.5V, 3.0V) each require their own decoupling network. Refer to Intel's PowerPlay early-power estimator for design-specific budgeting.
The F45 FCBGA package has a theta_JA around 8-10 C/W with a properly designed heatsink. At 30W typical dissipation, attach a 30x30 mm aluminum heatsink with thermal interface material (TIM) and 200 CFM forced airflow, or design a custom cold plate for chassis conduction cooling. Without active cooling, the junction can exceed 100 C and trigger thermal shutdown under load.
Do not confuse the 'U' grade (with transceivers) with 'S' or 'N' grade (no transceivers) when substituting - the pin assignment differs at transceiver ball locations. Also verify Quartus Prime version compatibility: Arria 10 support requires Quartus 14.0 or later, with current 24.1 release recommended. Use configuration bitstream AES encryption when shipping production units to protect IP.
Compliance Information
