Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C7N' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm the commercial temperature grade and lead-free status. Ensure compatibility with the 324-ball UBGA footprint during PCB layout. Confirm current availability status directly with authorized distributors as stock levels fluctuate. Check for any recent Product Change Notifications regarding labeling or material composition updates.

Selection Notes

Select this model when designs require moderate logic density around 25,000 LEs without the need for high-speed serial transceivers found in GX/GT variants. Compare total embedded memory needs against the 2 Mbit capacity. Consider the 0-85°C rating; if industrial temperatures are required, evaluate the 'I' suffix variant instead. Verify power supply constraints align with the 1.07V-1.13V core voltage requirement.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Intel (formerly Altera) Cyclone V E family, which focuses on cost-effective and power-efficient FPGA solutions. The 'E' designation typically indicates a value-oriented series optimized for general-purpose logic and DSP applications rather than high-speed networking. It sits below the Stratix and Arria families in terms of performance but offers significant flexibility for embedded logic tasks.

Replacement Considerations

For equivalent logic density and I/O count within the same package, consider the 5CEBA2U15I7N for extended temperature ranges. Higher capacity options include the 5CEBA4U15C7N. For lower capacity needs, explore other members of the 5CEBA2 series. Always verify pinout compatibility before substituting.
