5CEFA2F23C8N

Overview

The Altera 5CEFA2F23C8N is a Cyclone V E Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC featuring 223 I/Os. It utilizes a 383-TFBGA package with dimensions of 13x13 mm. The device contains 9434 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs), equivalent to 25,000 logic elements, and provides 2,002,944 total RAM bits. It operates on a supply voltage range of 1.07V to 1.13V and supports a junction temperature range of 0°C to 85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrates ARM Cortex-A9 hard processor system for heterogeneous computing capabilities within the Cyclone V E architecture.
• Features high-density embedded memory blocks suitable for complex data processing and buffering applications.
• Supports multiple low-voltage standards including LVCMOS, LVDS, and SSTL for versatile interface connectivity.

Applications

• High-throughput Reed-Solomon decoding in communication systems
• Industrial automation control units
• Medical imaging signal processing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C8' corresponds to the required speed grade and operating temperature range before ordering. Confirm that the 383-TFBGA package footprint matches the target PCB design. Ensure compatibility with Quartus Prime software versions supporting the Cyclone V E family. Check for any recent Product Change Notifications regarding labeling or material composition updates.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of moderate logic density and integrated ARM processing is required. Compare against the 5CEBA2 series if higher I/O counts are needed without the ARM core. Consider the 5CEFA4 series if significantly more embedded memory is necessary for the application. Evaluate power consumption requirements against the 1.07V-1.13V supply constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Intel (formerly Altera) Cyclone V E family, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring embedded processing. It sits between the standard Cyclone V and the higher-performance GX/GT series. The 'E' designation indicates the enhanced version optimized for power and cost efficiency while maintaining robust FPGA fabric performance.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the same package are limited. The 5CEFA2M13C8N shares similar logic resources but may differ in memory configuration. Verify electrical characteristics and speed grades carefully when substituting with other Cyclone V E variants.
