Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the official Intel/Altera datasheet to ensure correct temperature grade and packaging configuration. Confirm that the source document matches the exact part number 5CEFA7F31I7N, as minor variations in suffixes may indicate different performance grades or environmental ratings. Request the latest revision of the product specification to account for any errata or design changes.

Selection Notes

Select this model when the design requires approximately 150k logic elements and significant embedded memory within a compact footprint. Compare against other Cyclone V E variants if lower I/O counts or reduced memory are sufficient for the application. Ensure the PCB layout supports the 896-ball FBGA package density and thermal requirements for the specified operating temperature range.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Cyclone V E family, which targets economy and low-power segments of the FPGA market. It shares architectural similarities with other devices in the 5CEFA7 series but offers specific capacity and I/O configurations. The E series distinguishes itself by focusing on cost-effective solutions without compromising essential programmability and memory resources.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same package and pinout include other members of the 5CEFA7 series such as 5CEFA7F27I7N or 5CEFA7F23I7N, provided their logic and memory capacities meet the design constraints. Verify compatibility before swapping, as differences in ALM counts and memory sizes may impact functionality.
