Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'N' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm lead-free compliance and RoHS status. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact speed grade and package variant required for your design. Cross-reference the DigiKey part number 544-2965-ND or equivalent distributor listings to validate current product availability and lifecycle status before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a balance of moderate logic density and high memory bandwidth is required within a compact BGA footprint. Compare against other Cyclone V E variants based on specific I/O count requirements and power consumption constraints. Verify that the 672-pin package fits within the mechanical and PCB layout constraints of the target system architecture.

Part Context

This device belongs to the Cyclone V E family, which targets cost-sensitive and power-efficient applications compared to higher-end Stratix or Arria series devices. It serves as a mid-range solution for embedded systems, offering a scalable platform for prototyping and production designs that require reliable programmable logic without the complexity of larger FPGA families.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements are limited due to unique pin counts and logic densities. Consider the 5CEFA7F31C7N for similar logic resources but different I/O configurations. Evaluate newer Agilex or Cyclone 10 LP families for long-term supply assurance, though pin compatibility will likely require schematic redesigns.
