Replacement verdict
Not a drop-in replacement
The 5CEBA4F23C8N and 5CEBA2F17A7N are not drop-in replacements for one another. Although both are Intel (Altera) Cyclone V FPGAs sharing the same core architecture and fabric technology, they differ fundamentally in logic density, package footprint, and speed grade. The 5CEBA4F23C8N offers higher logic capacity in a larger FBGA package, while the 5CEBA2F17A7N provides a smaller, lower-density alternative. These differences in density, package, and speed grade prevent direct substitution without a full redesign of the PCB and timing closure.

Frequently asked questions
What are the key differences between the 5CEBA4F23C8N and the 5CEBA2F17A7N?
The 5CEBA4F23C8N is a Cyclone V E FPGA with 49,000 logic elements, 2,910 Kbits of embedded memory, and 224 18x18 multipliers in a 484-pin FBGA package. The 5CEBA2F17A7N is a Cyclone V E FPGA with 25,000 logic elements, 1,400 Kbits of embedded memory, and 150 18x18 multipliers in a 256-pin FBGA package. The 5CEBA4F23C8N offers higher logic density, more memory, and more multipliers, while the 5CEBA2F17A7N provides a smaller package and lower resource count.
Are the 5CEBA4F23C8N and 5CEBA2F17A7N pin-to-pin compatible?
No. The 5CEBA4F23C8N uses a 484-pin FBGA package, while the 5CEBA2F17A7N uses a 256-pin FBGA package. The different pin counts and ball maps prevent direct pin-to-pin compatibility.
Can the 5CEBA2F17A7N be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the 5CEBA4F23C8N?
No. The two devices differ in logic elements, embedded memory, multiplier count, package size, and pinout. A direct drop-in replacement is not possible without redesigning the PCB and recompiling the FPGA design to fit the smaller device.
What are the operating temperature ranges for the 5CEBA4F23C8N and 5CEBA2F17A7N?
Both the 5CEBA4F23C8N and 5CEBA2F17A7N are specified for commercial temperature operation with a junction temperature range of 0°C to 85°C, as indicated by the C8 and A7 speed grade and temperature suffixes in their part numbers.
Which device has more embedded memory and multipliers?
The 5CEBA4F23C8N has 2,910 Kbits of embedded memory and 224 18x18 multipliers. The 5CEBA2F17A7N has 1,400 Kbits of embedded memory and 150 18x18 multipliers. The 5CEBA4F23C8N provides approximately twice the embedded memory and about 49% more multipliers.
Do both devices belong to the same FPGA family and use the same configuration method?
Yes. Both the 5CEBA4F23C8N and 5CEBA2F17A7N are members of the Intel (formerly Altera) Cyclone V E FPGA family. They support the same configuration schemes, including active serial, passive serial, and JTAG configuration, using external configuration devices or a host controller.
What are the typical applications for each device?
The 5CEBA4F23C8N is suited for applications requiring higher logic density and memory, such as industrial motor control, image processing, and communication bridging. The 5CEBA2F17A7N is better for cost-sensitive and space-constrained designs with lower resource requirements, such as simple protocol conversion, sensor interfacing, and basic control logic.
