SX 1100
AlteraStratix 10 GX/SXSoCThe SX 1100 is a Stratix 10 GX/SX SoC FPGA from Altera, built on a 14 nm process. It provides 449,280 adaptive logic modules (ALMs) (1,325,000 logic elements (LEs)), about 898,560 LUT4 equivalents, 107 Mb of block RAM and 2,592 variable-precision DSP blocks. Its processing system includes four Arm Cortex-A53 cores running at up to 1.5 GHz. The programmable logic offers up to 688 user I/O pins and 48 XCVR/XCVR transceivers at up to 28.3 Gb/s, with hard PCI Express Gen3 x16 blocks. It comes in a single package, the F1760 (42.5 × 42.5 mm). Designs are built with Altera Quartus Prime.
