5CEBA2U15C8N

Overview

The Altera 5CEBA2U15C8N is a Cyclone V E series Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designed for cost-sensitive and power-efficient applications. It features 25,000 Logic Elements and 9,434 Adaptive Logic Modules within a 324-ball UBGA package measuring 15x15 mm. The device includes approximately 1.96 Mbit of embedded memory and supports up to 176 user I/O pins. It operates on a core voltage range of 1.07V to 1.13V and is rated for an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +100°C junction temperature.

Feature Summary

• Integrates Cyclone V E architecture optimized for low system cost and reduced power consumption compared to previous generations.
• Provides sufficient logic density and embedded memory for implementing state machines, interface bridges, FIFO buffers, and moderate DSP operators.
• Delivers high performance per watt through the use of adaptive logic modules and efficient embedded block RAM structures.

Applications

• Industrial automation control systems
• Consumer electronics peripheral interfaces
• Medical equipment signal processing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C8N' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm the commercial temperature grade and lead-free status. Ensure that the ordering information matches the exact package type and speed grade required by the design specifications before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when the design requires approximately 25,000 logic elements with a focus on minimizing bill-of-materials costs and power usage. Verify that the application does not require high-speed serial transcevers, as the E-series typically lacks the integrated SerDes found in GX or GT variants.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cyclone V E family, which targets entry-level to mid-range FPGA applications. It shares the foundational architecture with other Cyclone V devices but is distinguished by its emphasis on economic efficiency and lower power profiles rather than high-speed connectivity features.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional replacements within the same package and pinout include other 5CEBA2 variants such as 5CEBA2U15I7N or 5CEBA2U19C8N, provided the temperature grade and speed grade meet the system requirements.
