Soc System On Chip Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I7' corresponds to the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C) as defined in the official datasheet. Confirm the package type is 672-UBGA (23x23 mm). Ensure compatibility with the Cyclone V SE series design tools. Check for any recent Product Change Notifications regarding assembly sites or labeling changes.

Soc System On Chip Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of moderate logic capacity (25K LE) and dual-core processing is required. Compare against the 5CSEBA2 variant if higher speed grades are needed, or the 5CSEMA4 variant if increased logic resources are necessary. Verify that the 145 available I/Os meet the interface requirements of the target application.

Soc System On Chip Part Context

This component belongs to the Intel (formerly Altera) Cyclone V SoC FPGA family, specifically the System Edition (SE) line. The SE series is designed for applications needing both programmable logic and embedded processing capabilities. It sits between the standard E-series and the higher-performance SX/GX/SX families in terms of resource density and feature set.

Soc System On Chip Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes within the same package and pinout include other devices from the Cyclone V SE family with similar logic counts, such as the 5CSEMA2U23C8N (commercial grade) or 5CSEMA2U23I7NQS (qualified version). Cross-family replacements like the Cyclone V E-series require significant schematic redesign due to the absence of the embedded processor core.
