Frequently asked questions

What are the key differences between the 5CSEBA2U19C8N and 5CSEBA4U19C7N?

The 5CSEBA2U19C8N and 5CSEBA4U19C7N are both Intel (formerly Altera) Cyclone V SE SoC FPGA devices in the UBGA-484 package. The primary differences are logic density and speed grade: the 5CSEBA2U19C8N offers approximately 25K logic elements (LEs) with a speed grade of 8, while the 5CSEBA4U19C7N offers approximately 40K LEs with a faster speed grade of 7. The 5CSEBA4U19C7N also provides more adaptive logic modules (ALMs), embedded memory, and DSP blocks than the 5CSEBA2U19C8N.

Are the 5CSEBA2U19C8N and 5CSEBA4U19C7N pin-compatible?

Yes. Both devices are offered in the same UBGA-484 package (19 mm x 19 mm, 0.8 mm pitch) and share the same pinout for the Cyclone V SE U19 device family. This allows a single PCB design to accommodate either device, provided the design accounts for the different logic resource requirements and speed grade timing.

Can the 5CSEBA2U19C8N be used as a drop-in replacement for the 5CSEBA4U19C7N?

Not directly. Although they are pin-compatible, the 5CSEBA4U19C7N has a faster speed grade (7 vs. 8) and higher logic density. A design compiled for the 5CSEBA4U19C7N may not meet timing or fit within the smaller 5CSEBA2U19C8N. The FPGA configuration bitstream is also device-specific. Replacement requires recompilation and timing validation for the target device.

What is the difference in speed grade between the 5CSEBA2U19C8N and 5CSEBA4U19C7N?

The 5CSEBA2U19C8N has a speed grade of 8, while the 5CSEBA4U19C7N has a speed grade of 7. In Intel Cyclone V nomenclature, a lower speed grade number indicates faster performance. Therefore, the 5CSEBA4U19C7N offers faster maximum operating frequencies and tighter timing margins than the 5CSEBA2U19C8N.

Do both devices include an ARM Cortex-A9 hard processor system (HPS)?

Yes. Both the 5CSEBA2U19C8N and 5CSEBA4U19C7N are Cyclone V SE SoC FPGAs and include a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 hard processor system (HPS) operating at up to 925 MHz, along with integrated peripherals such as Ethernet MAC, USB, and memory controllers. The HPS subsystem is common across the Cyclone V SE family.

What are the logic element counts for the 5CSEBA2U19C8N and 5CSEBA4U19C7N?

According to Intel Cyclone V device specifications, the 5CSEBA2U19C8N contains approximately 25,000 logic elements (LEs), while the 5CSEBA4U19C7N contains approximately 40,000 LEs. The higher LE count in the 5CSEBA4U19C7N allows for more complex FPGA logic implementations.

Are the operating temperature ranges the same for both devices?

Yes. Both the 5CSEBA2U19C8N and 5CSEBA4U19C7N are specified for commercial temperature range operation, typically 0°C to 85°C junction temperature (TJ), as indicated by the "C" in the part number suffix. Industrial and automotive temperature variants exist in the Cyclone V family but are denoted by different suffix codes.

Which device should be selected for a design requiring higher DSP performance?

The 5CSEBA4U19C7N is the better choice for higher DSP performance. It provides more variable-precision DSP blocks and embedded memory than the 5CSEBA2U19C8N, and its faster speed grade (7 vs. 8) enables higher DSP clock rates. The exact number of DSP blocks and memory bits should be confirmed in the Intel Cyclone V device handbook for the specific density variant.
