5CEFA7F31C7N

Overview

The Altera 5CEFA7F31C7N is a Cyclone V E Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designed for low-power, high-performance, and logic-intensive applications. It features 150,000 Logic Elements and 56,480 Adaptive Logic Modules within an 896-ball FBGA package measuring 31x31 mm. The device supports up to 480 I/Os and includes 7.7 Mbits of embedded memory. Operating at a maximum frequency of 925 MHz, it functions on a 1.1 V supply voltage with a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides a hardware platform for developing and prototyping low-power, high-performance designs using the Cyclone V E FPGA architecture.
• Integrates extensive peripherals and memory interfaces to facilitate complex Cyclone V E FPGA design implementation.

Applications

• Low-power system development
• High-performance logic-intensive design prototyping
• Embedded system evaluation

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm the specific suffix 'N' indicates lead-free compliance and check for any recent Product Change Notifications regarding labeling or packaging updates. Ensure compatibility with required programming tools such as Terasic P0302 or Intel PL-BYTEBLASTER2N adapters for proper configuration.

Selection Notes

Select this model when requiring approximately 150K logic elements with moderate embedded memory in a cost-optimized E-series package. It suits designs needing 480 I/Os without high-speed SerDes transceivers found in GX/GT variants. Consider the 896-FBGA footprint constraints and 1.1V core voltage requirements during PCB layout and power delivery network design.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Cyclone V E family, which targets economy and efficiency in programmable logic. It shares architectural similarities with other E-series devices like the 5CEFA9F31C8N but offers lower logic density. Development boards such as DK-DEV-5CEA7N utilize this chip as the central processing unit for reference designs.

Replacement Considerations

The 5CEFA9F31C8N serves as a higher-density alternative within the same package and series. For pin-compatible upgrades or downgrades, verify logic element counts and memory sizes against specific design requirements before substitution.
