Frequently asked questions

What are the key differences between the 5CEBA2U15I7N and 5CEBA2U19C7N?

The 5CEBA2U15I7N and 5CEBA2U19C7N are both Intel Cyclone V E FPGAs with 25K logic elements, but they differ in package, I/O count, and speed grade. The 5CEBA2U15I7N uses a 324-pin UBGA package with 176 user I/Os and an industrial temperature grade (I7). The 5CEBA2U19C7N uses a 484-pin UBGA package with 224 user I/Os and a commercial temperature grade (C7).

Are the 5CEBA2U15I7N and 5CEBA2U19C7N pin-to-pin compatible?

No. The 5CEBA2U15I7N is in a 324-pin UBGA package, while the 5CEBA2U19C7N is in a 484-pin UBGA package. The different package sizes and ball counts mean they are not pin-to-pin compatible and require different PCB footprints.

Can the 5CEBA2U15I7N and 5CEBA2U19C7N be used interchangeably in the same design?

No, they cannot be used interchangeably without design changes. The 5CEBA2U19C7N offers more user I/Os (224 vs. 176) and a larger package (484-pin vs. 324-pin), which requires a different PCB layout. Additionally, the 5CEBA2U15I7N is rated for industrial temperature range while the 5CEBA2U19C7N is rated for commercial temperature range.

What is the logic density of the 5CEBA2U15I7N and 5CEBA2U19C7N?

Both devices belong to the Cyclone V E family and feature 25,000 logic elements (LEs). They also share the same number of adaptive logic modules (ALMs) and embedded memory blocks as defined by the Cyclone V E A2 device variant.

What are the operating temperature ranges for the 5CEBA2U15I7N and 5CEBA2U19C7N?

The 5CEBA2U15I7N has an industrial temperature grade (I7), which supports a junction temperature range of -40°C to 100°C. The 5CEBA2U19C7N has a commercial temperature grade (C7), which supports a junction temperature range of 0°C to 85°C.

Do the 5CEBA2U15I7N and 5CEBA2U19C7N have the same speed grade?

No. The 5CEBA2U15I7N has a speed grade of 7 (I7), while the 5CEBA2U19C7N has a speed grade of 7 (C7). The numeric speed grade is the same, but the temperature prefix differs (I for industrial, C for commercial), which affects the guaranteed timing performance over the specified temperature range.

What are the user I/O counts for the 5CEBA2U15I7N and 5CEBA2U19C7N?

The 5CEBA2U15I7N provides 176 user I/Os in its 324-pin UBGA package. The 5CEBA2U19C7N provides 224 user I/Os in its 484-pin UBGA package. The higher I/O count of the 5CEBA2U19C7N is a direct result of its larger package.

Which device is more suitable for industrial applications, the 5CEBA2U15I7N or the 5CEBA2U19C7N?

The 5CEBA2U15I7N is more suitable for industrial applications because it is rated for the industrial temperature range (-40°C to 100°C junction). The 5CEBA2U19C7N is rated for the commercial temperature range (0°C to 85°C junction) and is intended for commercial-grade environments.
