Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C6N' against official datasheets to confirm speed grade and commercial temperature rating. Ensure compatibility with Quartus Prime software versions supporting Cyclone V E devices. Check for recent Product Change Notifications regarding labeling or assembly site changes before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Compare logic density and I/O count against requirements to ensure the 49,000 LE capacity is sufficient. Verify that the 484-ball FBGA package fits the PCB footprint constraints. Confirm that the 0°C to 85°C operating range meets environmental specifications. Evaluate power consumption estimates based on target design complexity.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cyclone V E series, which targets cost-optimized designs requiring moderate performance. It sits below the higher-density SE and SX series but offers integrated ARM processors unlike the basic CE series. The 'U19' indicates the specific package size and pin count configuration.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other variants within the Cyclone V E family such as 5CEFA4U19C7N or 5CEFA4U19I7N, depending on required speed grades and temperature ranges. Cross-series migration to Cyclone V SE may be necessary if higher logic density is needed.
