10M16SAE144I7G in Intel Cyclone & MAX 10 Family
The 10M16SAE144I7G belongs to the Intel MAX 10 FPGA family, specifically designed to bridge the gap between low-cost CPLDs and high-performance FPGAs. Manufactured on a 55nm TSMC embedded flash process, these devices integrate dual-configuration flash, analog-to-digital converters, and internal RAM. They are primarily used for system management, I/O expansion, and power sequencing where a single-chip, non-volatile solution is required to simplify board design and reduce component count in industrial and communication hardware.
Variants in This Sub-Family
Variants within the MAX 10 sub-family primarily diverge based on logic density, ranging from 2,000 to 50,000 LEs, and package thermal characteristics. The 'SA' designation signifies a single-supply power architecture, simplifying PCB layout compared to dual-supply models. Speed grades like 'I7' indicate industrial temperature ratings and specific timing performance, while the packaging options determine the available user I/O count and integrated ADC channel accessibility.
