Key electrical and mechanical differences between the two devices
| Parameter | 5CEBA2U15I7N | 5CEBA7F27C8N | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Family / Series | Cyclone V E | Cyclone V E | Same device family ensures toolchain, IP, and pinout compatibility for migration. |
| Logic Elements (LE) | 25,000 | 150,000 | Logic capacity determines whether a design fits; a 6x difference prevents direct substitution for larger designs. |
| Total RAM (M9K + MLAB) | 1,530 Kbit | 6,860 Kbit | On-chip memory affects buffering, FIFO depth, and whether external memory can be avoided. |
| 18x18 Multipliers | 36 | 312 | DSP resources limit arithmetic throughput for filtering, FFT, and control algorithms. |
| Package | UBGA-324 | FBGA-672 | Different packages require different PCB footprints and cannot be drop-in replaced. |
| User I/O Count | 176 | 336 | I/O count determines how many peripherals and interfaces can be connected. |
| Temperature Grade | Industrial (-40°C to 100°C Tj) | Commercial (0°C to 85°C Tj) | Temperature grade affects reliability in harsh environments and allowable operating conditions. |
| Speed Grade | 7 (faster) | 8 (slower) | Speed grade impacts maximum clock frequency and timing closure for critical paths. |
| Core Voltage | 1.1 V | 1.1 V | Same core voltage simplifies power supply design if migrating between devices. |
| Transceiver Support | No | No | Neither device has high-speed transceivers, so both are limited to LVDS and general I/O for high-speed links. |

Frequently asked questions
What are the key differences between the 5CEBA2U15I7N and the 5CEBA7F27C8N?
The 5CEBA2U15I7N is a Cyclone V E FPGA with 25K logic elements in a 324-pin UBGA package, while the 5CEBA7F27C8N is a Cyclone V E FPGA with 150K logic elements in a 672-pin FBGA package. They differ in logic density, package type, pin count, and speed grade.
Are the 5CEBA2U15I7N and 5CEBA7F27C8N pin-compatible?
No. The 5CEBA2U15I7N uses a 324-pin UBGA package, and the 5CEBA7F27C8N uses a 672-pin FBGA package. The different package types, pin counts, and ball maps make them physically and electrically incompatible for direct PCB replacement.
Can the 5CEBA2U15I7N be used as a direct substitute for the 5CEBA7F27C8N?
No. The 5CEBA2U15I7N has significantly fewer logic elements (25K vs 150K), less embedded memory, fewer DSP blocks, and a different package. A direct substitution is not possible without redesigning the FPGA logic, pin assignment, and PCB layout.
What are the operating temperature ranges for these two FPGAs?
The 5CEBA2U15I7N has an industrial temperature grade, typically specified for -40°C to 100°C junction temperature (TJ). The 5CEBA7F27C8N has a commercial temperature grade, typically specified for 0°C to 85°C junction temperature (TJ). Always verify the exact grade from the manufacturer datasheet.
Do both devices belong to the same FPGA family?
Yes. Both the 5CEBA2U15I7N and the 5CEBA7F27C8N are members of the Intel (formerly Altera) Cyclone V E FPGA family. They share the same architecture, IP support, and development tools, but differ in density, package, and speed grade.
What are the speed grade differences between the 5CEBA2U15I7N and the 5CEBA7F27C8N?
The 5CEBA2U15I7N has a speed grade of 7 (industrial), while the 5CEBA7F27C8N has a speed grade of 8 (commercial). A lower speed grade number generally indicates faster performance, but the actual achievable frequency depends on design, voltage, and temperature conditions.
Which device offers more embedded memory and DSP resources?
The 5CEBA7F27C8N offers significantly more embedded memory and DSP blocks than the 5CEBA2U15I7N due to its higher logic density (150K vs 25K logic elements). For exact M10K memory block counts and DSP block counts, refer to the Cyclone V device handbook.
Are the configuration and power supply requirements the same for both FPGAs?
Both devices use the same Cyclone V configuration schemes (e.g., active serial, passive serial, JTAG) and similar core voltage requirements. However, the 5CEBA7F27C8N may require more power due to its larger logic density. Always verify the power estimation and pin-out from the respective device pin-out files.
