Replacement verdict
Compatible functional replacement candidate
The 5CEBA4F23C8N and 5CEBA4F17C7N are both Cyclone V FPGA devices from Intel (Altera) sharing the same logic density and core architecture, making them functionally related candidates. However, they differ in package type, speed grade, and operating temperature range, so a direct drop-in replacement is not guaranteed without validating board-level and thermal requirements.

Frequently asked questions
What are the key differences between the 5CEBA4F23C8N and the 5CEBA4F17C7N?
The 5CEBA4F23C8N and 5CEBA4F17C7N are both Intel (formerly Altera) Cyclone V E FPGA devices in the FBGA-484 package, but they differ in logic density, speed grade, and operating temperature range. The 5CEBA4F23C8N offers 49,000 logic elements (LEs) with a speed grade of 8 and an industrial temperature range, while the 5CEBA4F17C7N offers 40,000 LEs with a faster speed grade of 7 and a commercial temperature range.
Are the 5CEBA4F23C8N and 5CEBA4F17C7N pin-to-pin compatible?
Yes, both devices are offered in the same FBGA-484 package with identical pinouts as defined by Intel for the Cyclone V E family. However, designers must verify that the reduced logic density of the 5CEBA4F17C7N does not affect I/O assignment or resource availability in their specific design before substituting one for the other.
What is the logic element count for each device?
The 5CEBA4F23C8N contains 49,000 logic elements (LEs), while the 5CEBA4F17C7N contains 40,000 logic elements (LEs). This difference in logic density directly affects the available adaptive logic modules (ALMs), registers, and embedded memory resources.
What speed grade does each FPGA use?
The 5CEBA4F23C8N uses speed grade 8, and the 5CEBA4F17C7N uses speed grade 7. In Intel's Cyclone V naming convention, a lower speed grade number indicates a faster device, so the 5CEBA4F17C7N offers higher maximum operating frequency performance than the 5CEBA4F23C8N.
What are the operating temperature ranges for these two devices?
The 5CEBA4F23C8N is specified for the industrial temperature range (typically -40°C to +100°C junction temperature), while the 5CEBA4F17C7N is specified for the commercial temperature range (typically 0°C to +85°C junction temperature). The industrial-rated device is required for applications exposed to extended temperature conditions.
Can the 5CEBA4F17C7N directly replace the 5CEBA4F23C8N in an existing design?
Direct replacement is not guaranteed. Although both devices share the FBGA-484 package, the 5CEBA4F17C7N has fewer logic elements (40,000 vs. 49,000) and a different speed grade (7 vs. 8). The design must be recompiled and timing-closed for the target device, and the commercial temperature range of the 5CEBA4F17C7N must be acceptable for the application environment.
Do both devices belong to the same Intel FPGA family?
Yes, both the 5CEBA4F23C8N and 5CEBA4F17C7N are members of the Intel Cyclone V E FPGA family. They share the same architecture, IP support, and development toolchain (Intel Quartus Prime), which simplifies migration between the two when design resources permit.
Which device is better suited for higher-performance applications?
The 5CEBA4F17C7N is better suited for higher-performance applications because its speed grade 7 supports faster timing closure and higher maximum clock frequencies compared to the speed grade 8 of the 5CEBA4F23C8N. However, the 5CEBA4F23C8N provides more logic resources and an industrial temperature range, making it preferable for larger or environmentally demanding designs.
