• Communication interface adapters supporting Gigabit Ethernet or similar protocols.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C8N' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm commercial temperature grade and lead-free status. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts regarding the 484-ball UBGA footprint. Confirm export control classification (ECCN 3A991D) requirements for your region before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when design requirements exceed the capacity of standard Cyclone V devices but do not necessitate Stratix architecture. Compare total embedded memory and transceiver counts against alternative part numbers in the 5CGXC4 family. Validate that the 484-pin package fits within the mechanical constraints of the target enclosure.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Cyclone V GX family, optimized for cost-effective gigabit connectivity. It shares architectural similarities with other 5CGXC4 variants but offers specific I/O and memory configurations. The device integrates hard processor system capabilities in some variants, though this specific part focuses on logic and transceiver performance.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 5CGXFC4 variants with compatible pinouts, such as 5CGXFC4C6F23C6N or 5CGXFC4C7M13C8N, provided logic and memory requirements are met. Verify electrical specifications and package dimensions before substitution.
