Typical Applications
10AX090R2F40E2LG is suitable for 6 applications: 100G/400G Optical Transport Line Card, Software-Defined Radio Baseband, Radar and Electronic Warfare Front-End, 4K/UHD Broadcast Video Processing, ASIC Prototyping and Emulation, High-Performance DSP Accelerator Card.
100G/400G Optical Transport Line Card
The 10AX090R2F40E2LG is well suited for 100G/400G optical transport line cards because its 66 transceivers at up to 12.5 Gbps aggregate enough bandwidth for multiple 10G/25G/40G client-side optical modules. The 1517-FCBGA package provides signal-integrity headroom for high-speed serial routing and the 900K LE fabric absorbs MAC framing, OTN framer, and forward-error-correction (FEC) logic. Designers typically pair this device with OTN framer ASICs or co-process it alongside DSPs for soft-decision FEC.
Recommended
Software-Defined Radio Baseband
In software-defined radio (SDR) baseband processing, the 10AX090R2F40E2LG's 4,520 18x19 multipliers and 25 Mbits of embedded memory deliver sufficient DSP throughput for LTE and 5G NR physical-layer (PHY) processing. The 66 transceivers interface directly to RF ADCs and DACs over JESD204B/C, eliminating external SerDes. The 900K LE capacity enables a complete PHY plus MAC implementation on a single device, while the 1517-FCBGA package supports the high pin count required for parallel RF data paths.
Recommended
Radar and Electronic Warfare Front-End
The 10AX090R2F40E2LG's high logic density and embedded DSP make it a strong fit for radar and electronic-warfare (EW) front-end processing, where pulse compression, beamforming, and adaptive filtering are implemented in the FPGA fabric. The 66 transceivers handle multiple phased-array digitizer links, while the 0.9V core reduces power dissipation per DSP operation - critical in densely populated array electronics. Extended temperature screening is available via the -E2 grade.
Recommended
4K/UHD Broadcast Video Processing
For 4K/UHD broadcast video encoding, decoding, and processing, the 10AX090R2F40E2LG provides the logic and memory bandwidth required for real-time HEVC/H.265 or AVC pipelines. Its 342 user I/Os accept SDI, HDMI, and DisplayPort inputs at full UHD frame rates, while 25 Mbits of embedded memory absorb frame buffer and motion-estimation working sets. The 1517-FCBGA package is a standard form factor for broadcast video reference designs.
Recommended
ASIC Prototyping and Emulation
The 10AX090R2F40E2LG's 900K LE fabric is large enough to map substantial ASIC blocks for pre-silicon verification and software development. Combined with 66 transceivers, the device can emulate ASIC-to-ASIC serial links at production rates. Multi-FPGA partitioning tools from vendors such as Synopsys and Cadence support the Arria 10 family, and the 1517-FCBGA package is supported on most commercial prototyping boards. Quartus Prime provides the timing-driven compilation required for high-fidelity emulation.
Recommended
High-Performance DSP Accelerator Card
The 10AX090R2F40E2LG is used as a co-processor in high-performance computing (HPC) and DSP accelerator cards, where the FPGA accelerates workloads such as compression, encryption, or financial Monte Carlo simulation. The 4,520 18x19 multipliers deliver multi-TFLOP DSP throughput, while the 66 transceivers support PCIe Gen3 host connectivity and high-bandwidth memory (HBM) side-channels. The 1517-FCBGA package supports the dense power-delivery network required for sustained DSP workloads.

Key Differentiators
- Highest logic density in the Arria 10 family at the 1517-FCBGA tier (vs 10AX090R1F40E1SG)
- Maximum transceiver count (66) within the 1517-FCBGA package (vs 10AX090N3F40E2LG)
- Mid-tier -E2 speed grade balances Fmax and power (vs 10AX090R2F40E1SG)
Design Notes
Estimated: The 10AX090R2F40E2LG is a 900K-LE FPGA in a 1517-FCBGA with up to 66 transceivers operating at 12.5 Gbps. Under typical full-fabric and transceiver utilization, total on-die power dissipation can reach 20-25 W. The flip-chip BGA package relies on the PCB top-side copper pour and a heat sink for cooling; a minimum 8-layer stack-up with thermal vias under the die is recommended. Without adequate cooling, junction temperature may exceed 100 C under sustained workload, degrading long-term reliability.
Designers should use at least an 8-layer PCB stack-up for the 10AX090R2F40E2LG with dedicated ground and power planes between each signal layer. Decoupling must include bulk capacitors on each voltage rail and 0.1 uF / 0.01 uF high-frequency ceramics placed as close as possible to BGA balls. Transceiver channels require matched-length routing and controlled-impedance (100 ohm differential) traces to within 5 mil tolerance per the Arria 10 PCB design guidelines.
A common design pitfall is omitting configuration-mode selection straps on MSEL pins, which can leave the device in an unconfigured state on power-up. The Quartus Prime pin-planner tool will flag these, but if the schematic capture is done outside of Quartus, verify MSEL settings match the intended configuration scheme (AS, PS, FPP, or JTAG). Another frequent issue is insufficient configuration flash memory size: large FPGA designs require 256 Mbit or larger flash for safe AS configuration storage.
Compliance Information
RoHS compliant and lead-free per Intel product page. AEC-Q100 not applicable - this is an FPGA, not an automotive-grade IC. Extended temperature grade is the -E2 speed grade designation; industrial temperature parts are designated -I1/-I2/-I3.
