Replacement verdict
Compatible functional replacement candidate
The 5CEBA4F23C7N and 5CEBA2U15C7N are both Intel Cyclone V FPGAs sharing the same logic family, speed grade, and temperature grade, making them functionally related candidates. However, they differ in logic density, package type, and available I/O, so a direct drop-in replacement is not possible without design and pinout validation. The 5CEBA4F23C7N offers higher logic capacity in a larger FBGA package, while the 5CEBA2U15C7N provides a more compact UBGA option with reduced resources. Engineers should confirm resource requirements, package footprint, and I/O count before substituting.

Key electrical and mechanical differences between the two devices
| Parameter | 5CEBA4F23C7N | 5CEBA2U15C7N | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Logic Elements (LE) | 49000 | 25000 | Logic element count determines the amount of programmable logic available for implementing custom digital functions; a lower count may not fit a design that requires more resources. |
| Total RAM Bits | 3036160 | 1382400 | Embedded memory capacity affects the ability to buffer data, implement FIFOs, and store lookup tables; insufficient RAM can prevent a design from fitting. |
| Number of I/O | 224 | 176 | I/O count determines how many external signals the device can interface with; fewer pins may require redesign or external multiplexing. |
| Package / Case | 484-FBGA | 324-UBGA | Package type and footprint must match the PCB layout; different packages are not drop-in compatible and require board redesign. |
| Operating Temperature Range | 0°C to 85°C (TJ) | 0°C to 85°C (TJ) | Temperature grade must meet the application's environmental requirements; industrial or automotive grades are needed for harsher conditions. |
| Supply Voltage | 1.07V to 1.13V | 1.07V to 1.13V | Core voltage must match the power supply design; incorrect voltage can damage the device or cause unreliable operation. |
| Number of LABs/CLBs | 1848 | 943 | Logic array blocks determine the granularity of logic implementation; fewer blocks limit the complexity of designs that can be placed and routed. |
| Speed Grade | 7 | 7 | Speed grade affects maximum operating frequency and timing closure; a slower grade may not meet performance targets. |

Frequently asked questions
What are the 5CEBA4F23C7N and 5CEBA2U15C7N devices?
Both are Intel (formerly Altera) Cyclone V E FPGA devices. The 5CEBA4F23C7N is a Cyclone V E FPGA with 49,000 logic elements in a 484-pin FBGA package, while the 5CEBA2U15C7N is a Cyclone V E FPGA with 25,000 logic elements in a 324-pin UBGA package. Both are specified with a C7 speed grade and are lead-free (N suffix).
What is the difference in logic density between the 5CEBA4F23C7N and 5CEBA2U15C7N?
The 5CEBA4F23C7N provides 49,000 logic elements (LEs), whereas the 5CEBA2U15C7N provides 25,000 LEs. This means the 5CEBA4F23C7N offers approximately twice the logic capacity of the 5CEBA2U15C7N.
Are the 5CEBA4F23C7N and 5CEBA2U15C7N pin-compatible?
No. The 5CEBA4F23C7N uses a 484-pin FBGA package, while the 5CEBA2U15C7N uses a 324-pin UBGA package. The different package sizes, pin counts, and ball maps make them physically and electrically incompatible for direct PCB replacement.
Do the 5CEBA4F23C7N and 5CEBA2U15C7N have the same speed grade?
Yes. Both devices are specified with the C7 speed grade, indicating they share the same maximum operating frequency and timing characteristics for the Cyclone V E family under identical conditions.
Can the 5CEBA2U15C7N be used as a direct substitute for the 5CEBA4F23C7N?
No. The 5CEBA2U15C7N has fewer logic elements (25,000 vs. 49,000), a different package (324-pin UBGA vs. 484-pin FBGA), and a different pinout. A direct substitution is not possible without redesigning the PCB and verifying that the reduced logic capacity meets the application requirements.
What are the typical applications for the 5CEBA4F23C7N and 5CEBA2U15C7N?
Both devices are used in industrial, automotive, and communication applications requiring flexible logic integration. The 5CEBA4F23C7N is suited for higher-complexity designs needing more logic and I/O, while the 5CEBA2U15C7N is used in cost- and space-constrained designs with lower logic requirements.
Are the 5CEBA4F23C7N and 5CEBA2U15C7N RoHS compliant?
Yes. Both devices carry the N suffix, which indicates lead-free (Pb-free) construction and RoHS compliance according to Intel's Cyclone V device ordering information.
What configuration options are available for the 5CEBA4F23C7N and 5CEBA2U15C7N?
Both devices support active serial (AS), passive serial (PS), fast passive parallel (FPP), and JTAG configuration schemes, consistent with the Cyclone V E family. Configuration data can be stored in external flash memory or provided by a host controller.
