5CEFA7M15C6N

The 5CEFA7M15C6N is an Intel Cyclone V E series FPGA delivered in a 484-LFBGA (484-MBGA, 15×15) package. It combines a high logic capacity with substantial on-chip memory and a broad I/O count, making it suitable for cost- and power-sensitive designs that require programmable logic and interface flexibility.

As a member of the Cyclone V family, this device benefits from the series-level architecture built on TSMC's 28 nm low-power process technology and family features such as enhanced adaptive logic modules and embedded memory building blocks. Its combination of 149,500 logic elements, approximately 7.88 Mbits of embedded memory, and 240 I/Os targets applications that need integration, bandwidth, and low-voltage operation.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  149,500 logic elements provide a large, flexible FPGA fabric for complex digital logic, control, and glue-logic functions.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 7.88 Mbits of on-chip RAM to support buffering, local storage, and memory-intensive logic without relying solely on external memory.
• I/O and Package  240 general-purpose I/Os in a compact 484-LFBGA (484-MBGA, 15×15) surface-mount package for space-constrained board layouts.
• Power and Voltage  Core voltage supply range specified at 1.07 V to 1.13 V to support low-voltage operation in power-sensitive systems.
• Process and Architecture (series-level)  Cyclone V family architecture built on TSMC 28 nm low-power (28LP) process technology and featuring enhanced adaptive logic modules and embedded memory block structures.
• Operating Conditions  Commercial-grade operation with an ambient temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS compliance.
• Mounting  Surface-mount device in a ball-grid array package suitable for modern PCB assembly.

Typical Applications

• Wireless and Wireline Infrastructure  Implements protocol offload, packet processing, and interface bridging where programmable logic and moderate on-chip memory accelerate data paths.
• Embedded SoC and Control  Supports custom logic for embedded systems, offloading deterministic tasks and interfacing with processors or peripherals.
• Consumer and Networking Devices  Enables feature-rich designs that require flexible I/O, local buffering, and programmable acceleration in a compact package.
• Prototyping and OEM FPGA Designs  Offers a high-logic-count FPGA for validating system architectures and integrating multiple functions into a single programmable device.

Unique Advantages

• High logic density: 149,500 logic elements allow complex designs and multiple concurrent functions on a single device.
