Replacement verdict
Compatible functional replacement candidate
The 5CEBA2F17C7N is a functionally compatible replacement candidate for the 5CEBA4F17C7N, sharing the same package, speed grade, and temperature grade, but offering lower logic density and reduced on-chip memory. Designers must verify that the reduced LE count, M9K memory blocks, and embedded multiplier resources of the 5CEBA2F17C7N are sufficient for the target application before substituting.

Key electrical and mechanical differences between the two devices
| Parameter | 5CEBA4F17C7N | 5CEBA2F17C7N | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Logic Elements (LE) | 49000 | 25000 | Determines the amount of programmable logic available; a design that fits in the larger device may not fit in the smaller one. |
| Total RAM Bits | 3036160 | 1382400 | Embedded memory capacity affects buffering, FIFOs, and data storage; insufficient RAM can prevent a design from being ported. |
| Number of 18x18 Multipliers | 132 | 66 | DSP resources limit arithmetic-intensive functions such as filters and transforms; fewer multipliers may reduce performance or require logic-based alternatives. |
| Maximum User I/O | 128 | 128 | I/O count determines how many external signals can be interfaced; matching counts supports pin-compatible board designs. |
| Package | FBGA-256 | FBGA-256 | Package and pinout must match for physical drop-in replacement on an existing PCB. |
| Supply Voltage | 1.1 V core | 1.1 V core | Core voltage must be compatible with the board power design; identical requirements simplify substitution. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 85°C | 0°C to 85°C | Temperature grade affects reliability and suitability for commercial versus industrial environments. |
| Speed Grade | 7 | 7 | Speed grade influences maximum operating frequency and timing closure; matching grades preserves performance characteristics. |

Frequently asked questions
What are the 5CEBA4F17C7N and 5CEBA2F17C7N devices?
The 5CEBA4F17C7N and 5CEBA2F17C7N are Intel (formerly Altera) Cyclone V FPGAs in the 484-pin FBGA package with a C7 speed grade and commercial temperature range. The 5CEBA4F17C7N belongs to the Cyclone V E A4 variant, while the 5CEBA2F17C7N belongs to the Cyclone V E A2 variant.
What is the main difference between the 5CEBA4F17C7N and 5CEBA2F17C7N?
The primary difference is logic density. The 5CEBA4F17C7N offers a larger FPGA fabric than the 5CEBA2F17C7N, including more logic elements, adaptive logic modules, embedded memory, and DSP resources, while both share the same 484-pin FBGA package, C7 speed grade, and commercial temperature range.
Are the 5CEBA4F17C7N and 5CEBA2F17C7N pin-compatible?
Both devices are offered in the same 484-pin FBGA package with the same pin count and ball map family, so they are pin-compatible at the package level. However, designers must verify power, configuration, and I/O assignments against the respective device pin-out files because internal resource differences can affect which pins are available for specific functions.
Can the 5CEBA2F17C7N be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the 5CEBA4F17C7N?
No. Although the package and pin count are the same, the 5CEBA2F17C7N has fewer logic elements, memory blocks, and DSP blocks than the 5CEBA4F17C7N. A design that fully utilizes the 5CEBA4F17C7N resources may not fit in the 5CEBA2F17C7N, so resource utilization and timing must be revalidated before substitution.
Do the 5CEBA4F17C7N and 5CEBA2F17C7N use the same configuration scheme?
Yes. Both devices are Cyclone V FPGAs and support the same configuration schemes, including active serial, passive serial, fast passive parallel, and JTAG configuration. Configuration bitstreams are device-specific, so the correct programming file must be generated for each part number.
What is the speed grade and temperature range of the 5CEBA4F17C7N and 5CEBA2F17C7N?
Both the 5CEBA4F17C7N and 5CEBA2F17C7N use the C7 speed grade and the commercial temperature range, which is typically 0°C to 85°C junction temperature for Cyclone V devices. The suffix N indicates lead-free packaging.
Which device should be selected for a new Cyclone V design, 5CEBA4F17C7N or 5CEBA2F17C7N?
Selection depends on logic, memory, and DSP requirements. Choose the 5CEBA4F17C7N when higher logic density and more embedded resources are needed. Choose the 5CEBA2F17C7N when the design fits within its smaller resource budget and lower density is sufficient, which can reduce cost and power.
Are the 5CEBA4F17C7N and 5CEBA2F17C7N supported by the same Intel development tools?
Yes. Both devices are supported by Intel Quartus Prime software with the Cyclone V device family enabled. Designers must select the correct device part number in the project settings so that fitting, timing analysis, and programming file generation target the intended density variant.
