[Altera_Forum]

Since the launch of max10, I'm very interested in it. 

onchip flash, onchip adc, single power supply can bring great convenience to my design. now i want to use max 10 10m16 S A U169 in the company's new product,but I have some concerns: 1.reliability max 10 is a new device, i am a little worry about its reliability. my product life is 5 years, I need a reliable device  2.Production is it easy to get this device?   someone use this device, please give me some advice.It is very important for me. choosing the wrong device is a disater. there must be altera engineers in this forum, look forward to your reply.

I tried MAX10 for a prototype board for a project. I did not use for a long time but it was ok. 

I did not use the analog features. I used the QFP package.  It is good for small area requirements as it does not require a lot of power supplies.  I advise you to buy an evaluation board first to try. I could run nios (E version) on it.  You can get it from digikey or mouser. I think you should check the websites regularly because sometimes the chip are not available a lot.

If you're concerned about reliability you will need to ask Altera for figures. This forum is only likely to yield you some "it worked OK for me" responses. I doubt you'll be happy to rely on that before designing it in. 

 As for availability - ask your local distributor. They're likely to ask for some projected volumes.  Cheers, Alex

Hi, 

 the Max 10 is at least 2 years in the market and I have not heard any issues regarding its reliability. The latest information you should find here:https://www.altera.com/support/quality-and-reliability/reports-tools/reliability-report/rel-report.html  Cheers, fade
