Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official manufacturer documentation to confirm package type, temperature grade, and lead time requirements. Ensure compliance with export control classifications such as ECCN 3A991 before procurement. Confirm that the selected variant matches the required pin count and electrical specifications for the target application.

Selection Notes

Select this component when the design requires moderate logic density combined with gigabit serial connectivity. Compare total embedded memory capacity against system buffer requirements. Evaluate the thermal performance within the specified commercial operating range and ensure the 484-pin footprint fits the board layout constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cyclone V GX family, which targets cost-sensitive applications requiring gigabit transceiver capabilities. It shares architectural similarities with other 5CGXC7 variants but differs in specific speed grades and package options. The series is designed to balance performance and power efficiency for mid-range programmable logic needs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include 5CGXFC7B6M15C7N and 5CGXFC7B7M15C8N. Verify pin compatibility and electrical characteristics before substitution. Cross-reference datasheets to ensure equivalent logic density and transceiver counts.
