Replacement verdict
Compatible functional replacement candidate
The 10CL080YF780C6G is a viable functional replacement for the 10CL080YF780I7G in commercial-grade applications, sharing identical logic density, package, and I/O configuration. However, the industrial temperature range of the I7G variant is not matched by the C6G, and the faster speed grade of the C6G may require timing revalidation. Designers must confirm that the narrower temperature range and altered timing characteristics are acceptable for the target application before substituting.

Key electrical and mechanical differences between the two devices
| Parameter | 10CL080YF780I7G | 10CL080YF780C6G | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Operating Temperature Range | -40°C to +100°C (Industrial) | 0°C to +85°C (Commercial) | Determines the environments in which the device can reliably operate; industrial-grade parts support harsher conditions than commercial-grade parts. |
| Speed Grade | 7 (faster) | 6 (slower) | Affects maximum achievable clock frequency and timing closure; a faster speed grade allows higher performance but may cost more. |
| Family / Series | Cyclone 10 LP | Cyclone 10 LP | Devices from the same family share architecture, IP compatibility, and tool support, which is essential for functional substitutability. |
| Logic Elements (LEs) | 80,000 | 80,000 | Defines the available programmable logic capacity; matching LE counts ensures equivalent design fit and resource availability. |
| Package | 780-pin FBGA | 780-pin FBGA | Package type and pin count must match for physical board compatibility and drop-in replacement. |
| Supply Voltage (Core) | 1.2 V | 1.2 V | Core voltage must be compatible with the board power design; a mismatch would require power rail changes. |
| Embedded Memory | 2,810 kbit | 2,810 kbit | On-chip memory capacity affects the ability to implement buffers, FIFOs, and data storage within the FPGA. |
| Embedded Multipliers (18x18) | 288 | 288 | Dedicated multiplier blocks are critical for DSP and arithmetic-intensive designs; matching counts preserves computational capability. |
| Maximum User I/O | 428 | 428 | Available I/O pins determine how many external interfaces and peripherals the FPGA can support. |

Frequently asked questions
What are the 10CL080YF780I7G and 10CL080YF780C6G devices?
Both are Intel (formerly Altera) Cyclone 10 LP field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) in the same 780-pin FineLine BGA (FBGA) package. The 10CL080YF780I7G is specified for the industrial temperature grade, while the 10CL080YF780C6G is specified for the commercial temperature grade. Both share the 10CL080 device density and YF780 package/ball-out.
What is the difference between the I7 and C6 speed and temperature grades?
The suffix "I7" denotes an industrial-grade device with a speed grade of 7, and "C6" denotes a commercial-grade device with a speed grade of 6. In Intel FPGA ordering codes, the number is the speed grade and the letter indicates the temperature range (C = commercial, I = industrial). The C6 device has a faster speed grade than the I7 device, while the I7 device supports a wider industrial temperature range.
Are the 10CL080YF780I7G and 10CL080YF780C6G pin-compatible?
Yes. Both devices use the same 10CL080 die and the same 780-pin FineLine BGA package with the YF780 ordering code, so they share the same pinout and package footprint. Board-level pin compatibility is therefore maintained between the two ordering codes.
Can the 10CL080YF780I7G and 10CL080YF780C6G be used interchangeably in a design?
They are not automatically interchangeable. Although they share the same die, package, and pinout, they differ in speed grade and temperature grade. A design must be re-timed and validated for the slower I7 speed grade if it was originally closed for C6, and the operating temperature range must be verified for the target application. Intel documentation should be consulted before substituting one for the other.
What is the operating temperature range for each device?
The 10CL080YF780C6G is a commercial-grade device intended for the commercial temperature range, and the 10CL080YF780I7G is an industrial-grade device intended for the industrial temperature range. The exact junction and ambient temperature limits are defined in the Intel Cyclone 10 LP device datasheet and must be verified there for the specific ordering code.
Do both devices support the same configuration and I/O standards?
Because both ordering codes are based on the same 10CL080 Cyclone 10 LP die and the same YF780 package, they support the same configuration schemes and the same set of I/O standards defined for that device and package in the Intel Cyclone 10 LP documentation. Configuration and I/O standard support are device- and package-dependent, not speed-grade-dependent.
Which device should be selected for a faster timing closure requirement?
The 10CL080YF780C6G, with speed grade 6, provides faster timing performance than the 10CL080YF780I7G, which is speed grade 7. If the design requires the highest available performance within the 10CL080 YF780 family, the C6 speed grade is the appropriate choice, provided the commercial temperature range is acceptable for the application.
Which device should be selected for industrial temperature environments?
The 10CL080YF780I7G should be selected for industrial temperature environments because its "I" suffix denotes the industrial temperature grade. The 10CL080YF780C6G is a commercial-grade device and is not specified for the industrial temperature range. The applicable temperature limits should be confirmed in the Intel Cyclone 10 LP datasheet.
