10M16SAU169C8G in Intel Cyclone & MAX 10 Family
The 10M16SAU169C8G belongs to the Intel (formerly Altera) MAX 10 FPGA family, characterized by its non-volatile integration. This specific sub-family utilizes a single-core power supply and an internal flash configuration memory, eliminating the need for external configuration PROMs. It is designed for system management, I/O expansion, and control plane applications where a small form factor and instant-on capabilities are critical for modern industrial and automotive system architectures.
Variants in This Sub-Family
Variants within the 10M16 sub-family primarily diverge based on their power supply configuration (single vs. dual rail), thermal grading (commercial vs. industrial), and speed grade. Speed grades, denoted by suffixes like C8 or I7, dictate the maximum fabric frequency and timing margins. Package options also vary, offering different I/O counts and thermal dissipation characteristics to suit specific mechanical constraints.
