Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'A7N' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm the exact speed grade and commercial temperature rating. Ensure compatibility with the required 484-UBGA footprint during PCB layout. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current manufacturer datasheets prior to final procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this model when design requirements exceed the capacity of smaller Cyclone V devices but do not necessitate the higher cost or complexity of Arria or Stratix families. Evaluate the 150,000 LE count against actual logic utilization to ensure optimal resource allocation. Consider the 480 I/O limit relative to system interface needs before committing to this package size.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Cyclone V E (Economy) family, which targets low-power and cost-optimized FPGA applications. Unlike the GX or GT variants, the E series typically omits high-speed transceivers, focusing instead on logic density and embedded memory efficiency. It serves as a scalable solution within the broader Cyclone portfolio for mass-market electronic designs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional replacements within the same package and pinout are limited due to specific speed and temperature grading variations. Review the Cyclone V E product selection guide for alternative part numbers offering identical 484-UBGA footprints and comparable logic densities if supply constraints exist.
