10M50DAF484C8G in Intel Cyclone & MAX 10 Family
The 10M50DAF484C8G belongs to the Intel (formerly Altera) MAX 10 FPGA family, specifically the high-density 'DA' dual-supply variant. Built on a 55nm TSMC process, this device integrates 50,000 logic elements, dual-boot flash memory, and analog-to-digital converters on a single die. It is designed to bridge the gap between low-cost CPLDs and high-performance FPGAs, offering instant-on capability and reduced bill-of-materials for industrial, automotive, and communications infrastructure applications where board space and power efficiency are critical constraints.
Variants in This Sub-Family
The 10M50 sub-family variants primarily differ in their power supply requirements and thermal ratings. The 'DA' suffix denotes a dual-supply device optimized for performance, requiring both 1.2V and 2.5V rails. In contrast, 'SA' variants operate on a single 3.3V or 3.0V supply for simplified power delivery. Packaging options like the F484 FineLine BGA provide high I/O density, while commercial 'C' and industrial 'I' temperature grades define operating environment limits.
