Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I7N' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm commercial grade temperature rating and lead-free packaging status. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact pinout and speed grade required for your design. Cross-reference with the latest errata sheets for any known silicon revisions or functional limitations before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a balance of moderate logic density and high-speed serial connectivity is required. Compare total available logic elements and memory bits against application requirements. Evaluate the 484-pin package constraints against PCB layout space. Consider thermal management capabilities given the operating temperature range and power consumption characteristics typical of the Cyclone V GX family.

Part Context

This FPGA belongs to the Cyclone V GX series, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring high performance. It shares architectural similarities with other devices in the 5CGXFC4 family but differs in package type and I/O count. The GX variant specifically emphasizes serial communication capabilities alongside standard logic functionality.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same package and pinout include the 5CGXFC4C6F23C6N. Verify functional equivalence regarding logic capacity and memory size. Alternative packages may require schematic and layout modifications.
