Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C7N' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm the commercial temperature grade and lead-free status. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact pin count and package dimensions required by the PCB footprint. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest datasheet to validate current production status and any potential design changes.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of moderate logic density and cost-effectiveness is required for entry-level Gigabit Ethernet or video processing tasks. Compare the 30,100 LE capacity against higher-end Cyclone V variants if more complex algorithms are needed. Confirm that the 484-UBGA package size fits within the system's thermal and spatial constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Cyclone V GX family, which targets cost-sensitive applications requiring Gigabit connectivity. The 'BC' designation typically indicates a specific logic density tier within the GX series. It serves as a bridge between low-end LP devices and high-performance GT models in the Altera portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Cyclone V GX devices with similar logic counts, such as the 5CGXFC9A6U19C7N. Verify pin compatibility and electrical specifications before swapping. No direct cross-family replacements exist without significant redesign.
