The Intel 10M16SCU169I7P is a MAX 10 series FPGA delivering 16,000 logic elements and 562,176 total RAM bits in a 169-ball LFBGA package. It provides 130 user I/O and operates from a 1.15 V to 1.25 V core supply. This is the entry-level density tier of the MAX 10 family — sized for glue-logic consolidation, sensor interface bridging, or small control-loop acceleration where a full mid-range FPGA would overshoot the BOM. The industrial junction temperature range of -40°C to 100°C suits factory-floor equipment, outdoor telecom cabinets, and ventilated enclosures; it does not carry AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive under-hood deployment.
Supply and temperature — staying within the operating window
Core voltage range is 1.15 V to 1.25 V. Junction temperature rating is -40°C to 100°C.
Lifecycle and sourcing posture
The 10M16SCU169I7P carries an Active lifecycle status — no end-of-life notice, no last-time-buy pressure. Intel continues to manufacture the MAX 10 family, and this density/package variant remains in the current product portfolio. Sourcing runs through the standard independent distribution channel; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time against an RFQ. No official second-source exists for the MAX 10 architecture, but the 10M16DAF256A7G shares the same logic density and RAM in a larger 256-ball BGA with 178 I/O and an extended 125°C junction option — a functional alternative if the board can accommodate the larger footprint and the wider temperature grade.
