Replacement verdict
Not a drop-in replacement
The 5CEBA4F17C8N and 5CEBA2U15I7 are not functionally interchangeable. They differ in logic density, package footprint, speed grade, and operating temperature range, so a direct board-level substitution is not feasible without redesign.

Frequently asked questions
What are the key differences between the 5CEBA4F17C8N and the 5CEBA2U15I7?
The 5CEBA4F17C8N is a Cyclone V E FPGA with 49,000 logic elements, a 484-pin FBGA package, and a commercial temperature grade (0°C to 85°C junction). The 5CEBA2U15I7 is a Cyclone V E FPGA with 25,000 logic elements, a 324-pin UBGA package, and an industrial temperature grade (-40°C to 100°C junction). They differ in logic density, package, pin count, and temperature range.
Are the 5CEBA4F17C8N and 5CEBA2U15I7 pin-compatible?
No. The 5CEBA4F17C8N uses a 484-pin FBGA package, while the 5CEBA2U15I7 uses a 324-pin UBGA package. The different package sizes, ball counts, and ball maps prevent direct pin-to-pin compatibility.
Can the 5CEBA4F17C8N and 5CEBA2U15I7 operate at the same core voltage?
Yes. Both devices are Cyclone V E FPGAs and operate with a core voltage of 1.1 V, as specified in the Intel Cyclone V device datasheet. However, I/O voltages depend on the configured I/O standards and bank assignments.
Which device has a wider operating temperature range?
The 5CEBA2U15I7 has a wider operating temperature range. Its industrial grade supports a junction temperature of -40°C to 100°C, while the 5CEBA4F17C8N commercial grade supports 0°C to 85°C junction temperature.
Do both devices support the same transceiver speeds?
No. The 5CEBA4F17C8N and 5CEBA2U15I7 are both Cyclone V E devices, which do not include high-speed transceivers. Transceiver support is available in Cyclone V GX, GT, and ST variants, not in the E variant represented by these two part numbers.
How do the logic element counts compare between the two devices?
The 5CEBA4F17C8N contains 49,000 logic elements, while the 5CEBA2U15I7 contains 25,000 logic elements. The 5CEBA4F17C8N therefore offers approximately twice the logic capacity of the 5CEBA2U15I7.
Are these two FPGAs interchangeable in an existing design?
No. Because they differ in logic density, package type, pin count, and temperature grade, they are not drop-in replacements. Any substitution requires a full design review, including pinout, PCB layout, thermal, and timing validation against the respective Intel Cyclone V datasheets.
