Replacement verdict
Compatible functional replacement candidate
The 5CEBA2F17C8N and 5CEBA2F23C8N are both Cyclone V F-series FPGAs sharing the same logic density, speed grade, and core architecture, making them functionally interchangeable in designs where the larger 23 mm package footprint is acceptable. The primary distinction is the package size and available user I/O count, so verification of board layout and I/O allocation is required before direct substitution.

Key electrical and mechanical differences between the two devices
| Parameter | 5CEBA2F17C8N | 5CEBA2F23C8N | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Package / Case | FBGA-256 | FBGA-484 | The physical footprint and ball count differ, so the two devices are not drop-in compatible on the same PCB. |
| Number of Logic Elements (LE) | 25,000 | 25,000 | Logic capacity determines the complexity of digital designs the device can implement. |
| Total RAM Bits | 1,080,000 | 1,080,000 | Embedded memory affects buffering, FIFO depth, and data storage capability within the FPGA. |
| Number of I/O | 128 | 224 | Available I/O pins limit how many external interfaces and peripherals can be connected. |
| Number of LABs / CLBs | 9,434 | 9,434 | Logic array blocks define the granularity of the programmable logic fabric. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 85°C (TJ) | 0°C to 85°C (TJ) | Temperature range determines suitability for commercial versus industrial environments. |
| Voltage - Supply | 1.07V to 1.13V | 1.07V to 1.13V | Core supply voltage must match the board power design for correct operation. |
| Mounting Type | Surface Mount | Surface Mount | Mounting style affects assembly process and board layout compatibility. |

Frequently asked questions
What are the 5CEBA2F17C8N and 5CEBA2F23C8N devices?
Both are Intel (formerly Altera) Cyclone V E series field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). The 5CEBA2F17C8N and 5CEBA2F23C8N share the same logic density and speed grade but differ in package and pin count: the 5CEBA2F17C8N uses a 256-pin FineLine BGA (FBGA) package, while the 5CEBA2F23C8N uses a 484-pin FBGA package.
What is the logic density of the 5CEBA2F17C8N and 5CEBA2F23C8N?
Both devices are Cyclone V E A2 variants, which provide 25,000 logic elements (LEs) and 9,880 adaptive logic modules (ALMs), according to Intel Cyclone V device specifications.
What is the difference in package and pin count between the 5CEBA2F17C8N and 5CEBA2F23C8N?
The 5CEBA2F17C8N is offered in a 256-pin FBGA package, while the 5CEBA2F23C8N is offered in a 484-pin FBGA package. The higher pin count of the 5CEBA2F23C8N provides more user I/O and transceiver pins than the 5CEBA2F17C8N.
Do the 5CEBA2F17C8N and 5CEBA2F23C8N have the same speed grade?
Yes. Both part numbers include the C8 speed grade suffix, indicating commercial temperature range and speed grade 8, as defined in Intel Cyclone V documentation.
Can the 5CEBA2F17C8N be used as a drop-in replacement for the 5CEBA2F23C8N?
No. Although both devices share the same logic density and speed grade, they have different package sizes, pin counts, and PCB land patterns. A direct drop-in replacement is not possible without redesigning the PCB and verifying pinout compatibility against Intel documentation.
What is the maximum number of user I/O pins available on each device?
According to Intel Cyclone V device pinout files, the 5CEBA2F17C8N (256-pin FBGA) supports up to 128 user I/O pins, while the 5CEBA2F23C8N (484-pin FBGA) supports up to 224 user I/O pins. Designers should confirm exact I/O counts using the latest Intel pinout files.
Are both devices RoHS compliant?
Yes. Both the 5CEBA2F17C8N and 5CEBA2F23C8N are offered in lead-free, RoHS-compliant packages, as stated in Intel product material declarations and distributor datasheets.
Which device should be selected for designs requiring more I/O and transceiver channels?
The 5CEBA2F23C8N is the appropriate choice when additional user I/O and transceiver channels are required, because its 484-pin FBGA package provides more pins than the 256-pin FBGA package of the 5CEBA2F17C8N. Selection should be validated against the specific I/O and transceiver requirements of the design.
