Replacement verdict
Compatible functional replacement candidate
The 5CSEBA2U19I7N is a viable functional replacement candidate for the 5CSEBA4U23C8SN in applications where reduced logic density and a smaller package footprint are acceptable. Both devices share the same Cyclone V SE architecture, dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 HPS, and FPGA fabric family, ensuring software and IP compatibility. However, the 5CSEBA4U23C8SN offers higher logic capacity and a larger package, while the 5CSEBA2U19I7N provides a wider industrial temperature range. Designers must validate logic utilization, I/O count, and thermal requirements before substituting.

Key electrical and mechanical differences between the two devices
| Parameter | 5CSEBA4U23C8SN | 5CSEBA2U19I7N | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Logic Elements (LE) | 40,000 | 25,000 | Determines the amount of programmable logic available for implementing custom digital functions; a lower LE count may not fit a design built for the larger device. |
| Adaptive Logic Modules (ALM) | 15,000 | 9,430 | ALMs are the fundamental building blocks of the FPGA fabric; fewer ALMs directly limits the complexity of logic that can be implemented. |
| Embedded Memory (M10K) | 1,350 Kb | 1,080 Kb | On-chip memory capacity affects buffering, FIFO depth, and data storage; a smaller memory may require external memory or design changes. |
| 18x18 Multipliers | 112 | 66 | Hard multipliers accelerate DSP operations; fewer multipliers can bottleneck arithmetic-intensive designs such as filters or image processing. |
| Package | UBGA-672 | UBGA-484 | Package footprint and ball count must match the PCB layout; a different package is not drop-in compatible and requires a board redesign. |
| Operating Temperature Range | 0°C to 85°C (Commercial) | -40°C to 100°C (Industrial) | Temperature grade determines suitability for the target environment; industrial parts are required for harsh or outdoor applications. |
| Speed Grade | 8 | 7 | Speed grade affects maximum operating frequency and timing closure; a slower grade may not meet the original design's timing requirements. |
| Hard Processor System (HPS) | Dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 | Dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 | Both integrate the same HPS, so software and processor-side functionality remain compatible across the two devices. |
| Total I/O Pins | Up to 224 | Up to 128 | Available I/O limits peripheral and interface connections; fewer pins may prevent supporting all interfaces of the original design. |

Frequently asked questions
What are the key differences between the 5CSEBA4U23C8SN and the 5CSEBA2U19I7N?
The 5CSEBA4U23C8SN is a Cyclone V SE FPGA with a larger logic density (approximately 40K logic elements) in a 672-pin UBGA package, while the 5CSEBA2U19I7N offers lower logic density (approximately 25K logic elements) in a smaller 484-pin UBGA package. They also differ in speed grade and temperature range: the 5CSEBA4U23C8SN is rated for commercial temperature (0°C to 85°C) with speed grade 8, whereas the 5CSEBA2U19I7N is rated for industrial temperature (-40°C to 100°C) with speed grade 7.
Are the 5CSEBA4U23C8SN and 5CSEBA2U19I7N pin-to-pin compatible?
No. The 5CSEBA4U23C8SN uses a 672-pin UBGA package, while the 5CSEBA2U19I7N uses a 484-pin UBGA package. The different pin counts and package sizes mean they are not pin-to-pin compatible and cannot be interchanged on the same PCB footprint without redesign.
Can the 5CSEBA4U23C8SN and 5CSEBA2U19I7N be used interchangeably in the same design?
No, they cannot be used interchangeably without significant design changes. The differences in package footprint, logic density, speed grade, and temperature range mean that a design targeting one device would require re-layout, re-timing analysis, and re-verification to use the other. The 5CSEBA2U19I7N's industrial temperature rating and lower logic count suit different application requirements than the 5CSEBA4U23C8SN's commercial rating and higher logic count.
What are the logic element counts for the 5CSEBA4U23C8SN and 5CSEBA2U19I7N?
The 5CSEBA4U23C8SN contains approximately 40,000 logic elements (LEs), while the 5CSEBA2U19I7N contains approximately 25,000 logic elements. This difference affects available resources for custom logic implementation and may influence device selection based on design complexity.
What temperature ranges do the 5CSEBA4U23C8SN and 5CSEBA2U19I7N support?
The 5CSEBA4U23C8SN is specified for commercial temperature operation, typically 0°C to 85°C junction temperature. The 5CSEBA2U19I7N is specified for industrial temperature operation, typically -40°C to 100°C junction temperature. The industrial-rated device is suitable for harsher environments, while the commercial-rated device targets standard office or consumer environments.
What speed grades are available for the 5CSEBA4U23C8SN and 5CSEBA2U19I7N?
The 5CSEBA4U23C8SN is offered in speed grade 8, which is a standard speed grade for Cyclone V devices. The 5CSEBA2U19I7N is offered in speed grade 7, which is a faster speed grade. The speed grade affects timing performance, with lower numbers indicating faster performance in Altera/Intel FPGA nomenclature.
Do both devices belong to the same FPGA family?
Yes, both the 5CSEBA4U23C8SN and 5CSEBA2U19I7N are members of the Intel (formerly Altera) Cyclone V SE FPGA family. They share the same architecture, IP support, and development tools, but differ in logic density, package, speed grade, and temperature rating.
Which device is more suitable for industrial applications?
The 5CSEBA2U19I7N is more suitable for industrial applications due to its industrial temperature rating (-40°C to 100°C). The 5CSEBA4U23C8SN, with its commercial temperature rating (0°C to 85°C), is better suited for commercial and consumer applications where extreme temperatures are not a concern.
