Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code against Intel's official Product Selector Guide to confirm availability and lead times. Ensure compliance with export control classifications such as ECCN 3A991. Confirm RoHS status and packaging options directly with authorized distributors or Intel sales representatives prior to procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this variant for applications requiring high logic density without integrated transceivers or hard processor systems. Compare resource counts against Cyclone V GX and GT variants if high-speed serial interfaces are required. Verify package footprint compatibility during PCB layout to ensure seamless migration between different device densities within the family.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Cyclone V E family, optimized for general logic and DSP applications. It serves as a cost-effective solution for high-volume deployments where power consumption and system cost are primary design constraints. The architecture supports vertical migration across multiple device densities using compatible package footprints.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other Cyclone V E devices with matching pin counts and resource levels, such as 5CEFA9U19C7N or 5CEFA9U19I7N. Verify speed grades and operating temperature ranges to ensure functional equivalence in the target application environment.

FAQ

Does the 5CEFA9U19A7N support dynamic partial reconfiguration?

Dynamic partial reconfiguration is available for Cyclone V E devices that include the 'SC' suffix in their part number. Standard versions without this suffix do not support this feature.

What is the maximum transceiver speed for this device?

The Cyclone V E variant does not include integrated high-speed serial transceivers. It relies on general-purpose I/Os and hard memory controllers for data interface requirements.

Is the 5CEFA9U19A7N a System-on-Chip (SoC) device?

No, this is a standard FPGA device. SoC functionality with an integrated Arm Cortex-A9 processor is only available in the Cyclone V SE, SX, and ST variants.
