5CEBA4U15C7N

Overview

The Altera 5CEBA4U15C7N is a Cyclone V E series Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designed for cost-sensitive applications. It features 49,000 logic elements and 18,480 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs). The device integrates 3,383 kbit of embedded memory, including 303 kbit of embedded block RAM. It provides 176 user I/Os and operates within a supply voltage range of 1.07V to 1.13V. The component is housed in a 324-LFBGA package with dimensions of 15x15 mm. It supports a maximum operating frequency of 925 MHz and functions at temperatures between 0°C and 85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates ARM-based hard processor system capabilities for SoC designs
• Includes dedicated DSP blocks for high-performance signal processing
• Supports multiple low-voltage standards for flexible I/O interfacing

Applications

• Industrial automation control systems
• Consumer electronics interface bridges
• Medical equipment signal processing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific speed grade suffix (C7N) against design timing requirements before ordering. Confirm that the 324-UBGA package footprint matches the PCB layout. Ensure the manufacturing source is authorized to guarantee RoHS compliance and authenticity. Check for any recent Product Change Notices regarding labeling or material updates.

Selection Notes

Select this model when moderate logic density and integrated memory are required without the cost of high-speed transceivers found in GX/GT variants. Compare total embedded memory capacity against application buffer needs. Evaluate the 176 I/O count against system connectivity requirements. Consider the 324-ball package size for board space constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Intel (formerly Altera) Cyclone V E family, which targets economy and efficiency. It sits below the GX and GT series, which include high-speed serial transceivers. The E series focuses on providing sufficient logic and DSP resources for general-purpose programmable logic tasks at a lower price point.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package may include other speed grades of the 5CEBA4U15 series, such as 5CEBA4U15C8N, if timing margins allow. Verify logical equivalence and memory configuration before substitution.
