Replacement verdict
Compatible functional replacement candidate
The 10M40DCF672C8G and 10M40DAF672I6G are both Intel MAX 10 field-programmable gate arrays sharing the same 40,000 logic element density, 672-pin FineLine BGA package, and core architecture, making them functionally interchangeable at the device level. The primary distinction lies in their speed grade and operating temperature range, which must be validated against the target application's timing and environmental requirements before committing to a drop-in substitution.

Frequently asked questions
What are the key differences between the 10M40DCF672C8G and the 10M40DAF672I6G?
The primary differences are the operating temperature grade and the speed grade. The 10M40DCF672C8G is specified for commercial temperature range (0°C to 85°C junction) with a speed grade of 8, while the 10M40DAF672I6G is specified for industrial temperature range (-40°C to 100°C junction) with a speed grade of 6. Both are Intel (Altera) MAX 10 FPGA devices in the same 672-pin FBGA package with 40,000 logic elements.
Are the 10M40DCF672C8G and 10M40DAF672I6G pin-compatible?
Yes. Both devices share the same 672-pin FineLine BGA (FBGA) package and the same MAX 10 10M40 device die, so the pinout and package footprint are identical. However, the speed and temperature grade differences must be validated for the target application.
Can the 10M40DCF672C8G be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the 10M40DAF672I6G?
Not unconditionally. The 10M40DAF672I6G is rated for industrial temperature range (-40°C to 100°C junction) and a faster speed grade (6), while the 10M40DCF672C8G is commercial temperature (0°C to 85°C junction) and speed grade 8. A drop-in replacement is only valid if the application operates within the commercial temperature range and the slower speed grade meets all timing requirements.
What is the logic capacity of the 10M40DCF672C8G and 10M40DAF672I6G?
Both devices are part of the Intel MAX 10 10M40 family and provide 40,000 logic elements (LEs). They also include integrated analog-to-digital converter (ADC) blocks, flash memory, and other MAX 10 family features as documented in the Intel MAX 10 FPGA device datasheet.
What temperature range does each device support?
The 10M40DCF672C8G supports the commercial temperature range, typically 0°C to 85°C junction temperature (TJ). The 10M40DAF672I6G supports the industrial temperature range, typically -40°C to 100°C junction temperature (TJ). These ratings are defined in the Intel MAX 10 FPGA device datasheet.
What does the speed grade difference between -8 and -6 mean for these devices?
In Intel FPGA nomenclature, a lower speed grade number indicates a faster device. The 10M40DAF672I6G has speed grade 6, which offers faster maximum operating frequencies and tighter timing specifications compared to the 10M40DCF672C8G with speed grade 8. The exact timing differences are specified in the Intel MAX 10 FPGA device datasheet.
Are these devices RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Both the 10M40DCF672C8G and 10M40DAF672I6G are offered in RoHS-compliant, lead-free FBGA packages as stated in Intel's product material declarations and distributor product pages. Specific compliance documentation should be verified with the manufacturer or authorized distributor.
Which device is more suitable for industrial applications?
The 10M40DAF672I6G is more suitable for industrial applications because it is rated for the industrial temperature range (-40°C to 100°C junction) and has a faster speed grade (6). The 10M40DCF672C8G is intended for commercial applications within 0°C to 85°C junction temperature.
