Replacement verdict
Not a drop-in replacement
The 5CEBA7F23C7N and 5CEBA2U15I7N are not drop-in replacements for each other. They differ in logic density, package footprint, speed grade, and operating temperature range, so a direct substitution is not feasible without a full redesign and revalidation.

Key electrical and mechanical differences between the two devices
| Parameter | 5CEBA7F23C7N | 5CEBA2U15I7N | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Family | Cyclone V E FPGA | Cyclone V E FPGA | Both belong to the same Cyclone V E family, so they share architecture and toolchain support, but differ in logic density and package. |
| Logic Elements (LEs) | 149,500 | 25,000 | Logic density determines how much custom logic can be implemented; the two parts differ by roughly 6x, so they are not functionally interchangeable for complex designs. |
| Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs) | 56,480 | 9,430 | ALM count is the fundamental resource for implementing logic; a large mismatch means one device cannot substitute for the other in resource-heavy designs. |
| Embedded Memory | 7,880 kbit | 1,430 kbit | On-chip memory affects buffering, FIFO depth, and data storage capability; the larger device offers substantially more embedded RAM. |
| 18x18 Multipliers | 312 | 72 | DSP multiplier count determines signal-processing throughput; the difference limits which algorithms can be implemented on each device. |
| Package | FBGA-484 | UBGA-324 | Package type and ball count affect PCB footprint, routing, and available I/O; different packages are not drop-in compatible. |
| Operating Temperature Range | 0°C to 85°C (Commercial) | -40°C to 100°C (Industrial) | Temperature grade determines suitability for harsh or industrial environments; the industrial part supports wider temperature operation. |
| Speed Grade | 7 | 7 | Speed grade affects maximum operating frequency and timing closure; identical speed grades simplify timing comparison between the two devices. |
| Supply Voltage | 1.1 V core | 1.1 V core | Core voltage must match the board power design; identical core voltage simplifies power supply reuse across designs. |

Frequently asked questions
What are the key differences between the 5CEBA7F23C7N and the 5CEBA2U15I7N?
The 5CEBA7F23C7N is a Cyclone V E FPGA with 150K logic elements in a 484-pin FBGA package, while the 5CEBA2U15I7N is a Cyclone V E FPGA with 25K logic elements in a 324-pin UBGA package. They differ in logic density, package, pin count, and speed grade.
Are the 5CEBA7F23C7N and 5CEBA2U15I7N pin-compatible?
No. The 5CEBA7F23C7N uses a 484-pin FBGA package, and the 5CEBA2U15I7N uses a 324-pin UBGA package. Different package types and pin counts prevent direct pin-to-pin compatibility.
Can the 5CEBA7F23C7N be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the 5CEBA2U15I7N?
No. The two devices differ in logic element count, package footprint, pin count, and speed grade. A direct drop-in replacement is not possible without redesigning the PCB and revalidating the design.
What are the logic element counts of the 5CEBA7F23C7N and 5CEBA2U15I7N?
The 5CEBA7F23C7N contains 150,000 logic elements. The 5CEBA2U15I7N contains 25,000 logic elements.
What speed grades do the 5CEBA7F23C7N and 5CEBA2U15I7N use?
The 5CEBA7F23C7N is specified with speed grade C7 (commercial temperature range). The 5CEBA2U15I7N is specified with speed grade I7 (industrial temperature range).
What are the operating temperature ranges for the 5CEBA7F23C7N and 5CEBA2U15I7N?
The 5CEBA7F23C7N operates over the commercial temperature range of 0°C to 85°C junction temperature. The 5CEBA2U15I7N operates over the industrial temperature range of -40°C to 100°C junction temperature.
Do the 5CEBA7F23C7N and 5CEBA2U15I7N belong to the same FPGA family?
