Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix C6N against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm speed grade and commercial temperature rating. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts regarding the 484-FBGA pinout. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current datasheets before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Compare logic density and memory resources against alternative Cyclone V variants to ensure optimal cost-performance balance. Evaluate power consumption requirements relative to the 1.1V core voltage. Assess thermal management needs for the 484-BGA package in enclosed environments.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Cyclone V E family, which targets entry-level systems-on-chip solutions. It combines FPGA fabric with hardened ARM processors, distinguishing it from pure logic devices. The F23 designation indicates the specific 484-ball BGA package configuration used in this part number.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Cyclone V E parts with matching I/O counts and package types, such as the 5CEFA2F23I7N for industrial temperature ranges. Verify functional equivalence in logic resources and memory architecture before substitution.
