5CEFA2M13I7N

Overview

The Altera 5CEFA2M13I7N is a Cyclone V E series Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) built on 28nm technology. It features 25,000 logic elements and 9,434 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs). The device includes 2,002,944 total bits of embedded memory and supports 223 user I/Os. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.07V to 1.13V and functions at temperatures from 0°C to 85°C TJ. The component is housed in a 383-ball MBGA package measuring 13x13 mm.

Feature Summary

• Integrates an ARM Cortex-A9 processor core for heterogeneous system-on-chip computing capabilities.
• Provides cost-optimized programmable logic resources suitable for entry-level embedded applications.
• Supports high-density interconnects with extensive user input/output availability.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring moderate logic density.
• Embedded processing modules utilizing the integrated ARM core.
• Consumer electronics interfaces and bridge circuits.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific speed grade suffix against project timing requirements, as the 'I7' designation indicates a particular performance tier within the Cyclone V E family. Confirm that the 383-TFBGA package dimensions align with the target PCB footprint and thermal management strategy. Ensure compatibility with Intel Quartus Prime software versions supporting this device architecture before initiating procurement processes.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance between low power consumption and moderate logic capacity is required. The Cyclone V E series is appropriate for designs needing an integrated processor without the higher cost of GX or GT variants. Compare total embedded memory needs against the 2 Mbit capacity to ensure sufficient buffering for data paths.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Cyclone V E sub-family, which focuses on economy and efficiency. It sits below the high-performance GX and GT series in terms of transceiver capabilities but offers significant logic density for its class. The '5CE' prefix identifies it specifically as a Cyclone V E device manufactured by Altera, now part of Intel.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional replacements within the same package and pinout are limited due to specific speed grade variations. Consider the 5CEFA2M13C8N if a different speed grade or commercial temperature range suffices. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility carefully when evaluating other 383-ball MBGA devices from the Cyclone V family.
