Soc System On Chip Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix C8N against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm the commercial temperature grade and package variant. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts regarding the 672-UBGA footprint and pinout definitions. Cross-reference the revision history in the datasheet for any label or assembly site changes that may affect part identification.

Soc System On Chip Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of moderate logic capacity and dual-core processing is required. Compare the 40K logic element count against more complex variants like the 5CSEBA5 series if higher performance is needed. Verify that the 600MHz processor speed meets the application's computational requirements compared to faster alternatives.

Soc System On Chip Part Context

This component belongs to the Cyclone V SE (System Edition) family, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring both FPGA flexibility and ARM processor integration. It shares the same processor core and package style as other members in the 5CSEBAxxU23C8N series, differing primarily in the amount of available logic elements and embedded memory resources.

Soc System On Chip Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes within the same package and feature set include the 5CSEBA2U23C8N (25K LE) and 5CSEBA5U23C8N (85K LE). These parts share the identical 672-UBGA footprint and processor configuration, allowing for potential pin-compatible upgrades or downgrades based on resource needs.
