Overview

The 10M02SCU169C8G is part of Altera's MAX 10 family, representing a compact, non-volatile FPGA that integrates 2,000 logic elements. It features integrated flash memory for configuration and user data, eliminating the need for an external configuration PROM and reducing overall board space. This specific variant is housed in a 169-pin Ultra FineLine BGA package designed for low-power, space-constrained industrial and consumer designs.

Why Choose This Part

The integrated flash memory enables instant-on capability and simplifies PCB design by removing external configuration hardware. Its 169-UBGA package offers a high density of I/O in a small footprint, while the dual-configuration support allows for safe remote updates.

Applications

System Management and Glue Logic
Ideal for managing power sequencing, reset generation, and bridging disparate I/O standards on a PCB.
I/O Expansion
Extends the capabilities of microcontrollers or SoCs by providing additional high-speed digital I/O pins and custom peripheral logic.
Sensor Hubs
Provides a low-latency interface to aggregate and preprocess data from multiple sensors before passing it to a host processor.
Simple Motor Control
Implements hardware-level PWM generation and encoder feedback processing for precise motor positioning.

Getting Started

Development is performed using the Intel Quartus Prime Design Software, which provides a comprehensive environment for HDL entry and synthesis. For hardware validation, the MAX 10 FPGA Evaluation Kit is a common starting point for testing logic and I/O performance. Practical implementation requires a JTAG interface for programming and debugging the on-chip flash memory.
