5CEBA2U15I7

Overview

The Altera 5CEBA2U15I7N is a Cyclone V E series Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designed for low-power and cost-sensitive applications. It features 25,000 Logic Elements and 9,434 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs). The device includes approximately 1.96 Mbit of embedded memory and supports up to 176 user I/Os. Operating at a supply voltage of 1.07V to 1.13V, it is housed in a 324-ball UBGA package measuring 15x15 mm. The component supports an industrial operating temperature range from -40°C to 100°C.

Feature Summary

• Cyclone V E architecture optimized for power efficiency and system cost reduction
• Integrated embedded memory suitable for buffering and data storage
• Industrial temperature rating for reliable operation in harsh environments
• High-density I/O configuration supporting complex interface requirements

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust logic processing
• Consumer electronics with strict power consumption constraints
• Communication infrastructure equipment interfaces
• Test and measurement instrumentation logic controllers

Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number suffix, specifically 'I7N', as it defines the temperature grade and packaging. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation or authorized distributor certificates prior to procurement. Ensure compatibility with Intel FPGA programming tools and verify that the specific revision matches design requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this model when moderate logic density is required alongside low power consumption. Compare against the C8N variant if commercial temperature range suffices, as it may offer different availability. Verify that the 324-UBGA footprint fits the PCB layout constraints. Consider the 5CEBA4 series if higher logic capacity or increased memory resources are necessary for the application.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Cyclone V E family, which targets economy and efficiency. It differs from GX/GT variants by lacking high-speed SerDes transceivers, making it suitable for parallel logic rather than high-speed serial communications. It serves as a bridge between lower-end Arria devices and higher-performance Stratix families.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the same package are limited due to varying logic densities. The 5CEBA2U15C8N is a similar device but operates in the commercial temperature range (0°C to 85°C). Higher capacity alternatives include the 5CEBA4U15I7N. Verify electrical characteristics and timing constraints before substituting.
