Replacement verdict
Not a drop-in replacement
The 5CEBA7F23C7N and 5CEBA4U15C6N are not drop-in replacements for one another. They differ in logic density, package type, pin count, and speed grade, which prevents direct substitution without a full board redesign and timing re-verification.

Key electrical and mechanical differences between the two devices
| Parameter | 5CEBA7F23C7N | 5CEBA4U15C6N | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Family / Series | Cyclone V E | Cyclone V E | Same device family ensures toolchain, IP, and pinout conventions are compatible, which is essential for functional substitutability. |
| Logic Elements (LE) | 150,000 | 49,000 | LE count determines the amount of programmable logic available; a large difference means the smaller device may not fit the same design. |
| Total RAM Bits | 6,860,000 | 3,080,000 | Embedded memory capacity affects buffering, FIFO depth, and data storage; insufficient RAM can prevent a design from fitting. |
| Number of I/Os | 240 | 176 | I/O count limits how many external signals can be interfaced; fewer I/Os may require design changes or additional components. |
| Package / Case | 484-FBGA | 324-UBGA | Package footprint and ball pitch must match the PCB layout; different packages are not drop-in compatible. |
| Operating Temperature Range | 0°C to 85°C (Commercial) | 0°C to 85°C (Commercial) | Temperature grade affects reliability and suitability for the target environment; mismatched grades can cause field failures. |
| Supply Voltage - Core | 1.07V to 1.13V | 1.07V to 1.13V | Core voltage must match the board power design; identical ranges allow reuse of the same power delivery network. |
| Speed Grade | 7 (Fastest) | 6 (Faster) | Speed grade determines maximum operating frequency and timing closure; a slower grade may not meet timing requirements. |
| Transceiver Count | 9 | 6 | High-speed serial transceivers enable protocols like PCIe and Ethernet; fewer transceivers limit high-speed interface options. |
| Embedded Multipliers (18x18) | 312 | 288 | DSP blocks are critical for arithmetic-intensive applications; fewer multipliers can reduce signal processing throughput. |

Frequently asked questions
What are the key differences between the 5CEBA7F23C7N and the 5CEBA4U15C6N?
The 5CEBA7F23C7N is a Cyclone V E FPGA with 150K logic elements in a 484-pin FBGA package, while the 5CEBA4U15C6N is a Cyclone V E FPGA with 49K logic elements in a 324-pin UBGA package. They differ in logic density, package type, pin count, and speed grade.
Are the 5CEBA7F23C7N and 5CEBA4U15C6N pin-to-pin compatible?
No. The 5CEBA7F23C7N uses a 484-pin FBGA package, and the 5CEBA4U15C6N uses a 324-pin UBGA package. Different package types, pin counts, and ball maps prevent direct pin-to-pin compatibility.
Can the 5CEBA4U15C6N be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the 5CEBA7F23C7N?
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 logic design.
What are the logic element counts for the 5CEBA7F23C7N and 5CEBA4U15C6N?
The 5CEBA7F23C7N contains 150,000 logic elements. The 5CEBA4U15C6N contains 49,000 logic elements.
What package types are used by the 5CEBA7F23C7N and 5CEBA4U15C6N?
The 5CEBA7F23C7N is supplied in a 484-pin FBGA package. The 5CEBA4U15C6N is supplied in a 324-pin UBGA package.
What speed grades are indicated by the 5CEBA7F23C7N and 5CEBA4U15C6N part numbers?
