Overview

The 10M16SAU169C8G is a MAX 10 series FPGA from Intel (formerly Altera) that features 16,000 logic elements and integrated dual-configuration flash memory. This device utilizes a single-core power supply and provides 130 I/O pins in a compact 169-pin LFBGA package, making it suitable for high-density system management and interface bridging.

Why Choose This Part

The primary advantage is the non-volatile integration of dual-configuration flash, allowing for 'instant-on' capability and secure remote updates without an external PROM. The 55nm process balances power efficiency with high logic density in a small-footprint BGA package.

Applications

System Management and Sequencing
Managing power-up/down sequences, reset logic, and system monitoring for complex multi-rail PCB designs.
Interface Bridging
Converting between disparate bus protocols such as I2C, SPI, and UART to high-speed parallel interfaces.
I/O Expansion
Adding high-performance digital I/O capabilities to microcontrollers with limited pin counts or timing constraints.
Industrial Control Systems
Implementing custom logic for motor feedback, sensor data aggregation, and real-time control loops.

Getting Started

Engineers should use the Intel Quartus Prime Design Software (Lite or Pro Edition) for synthesis, routing, and simulation. Hardware development is typically performed using the MAX 10 FPGA Evaluation Kit or similar carrier boards that provide access to the 130 I/O pins.
