Variable Parameter (Allows Substitution):

• Speed: 800MHz (main part) vs. 600MHz (substitute part)

The 5CSEBA2U23C8N qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it maintains identical architecture, logic element count, I/O configuration, and package specifications while operating at a reduced clock speed of 600MHz. This speed reduction does not affect peripheral functionality, connectivity options, or physical form factor, making it suitable for applications where maximum performance is not required.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 5CSEMA2U23C7N and 5CSEBA2U23C8N are Active products with identical RoHS compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for current and future applications. Selection between these parts should be based on application performance requirements:

The 5CSEMA2U23C7N operates at 800MHz and is appropriate for applications requiring maximum ARM processor throughput or time-critical signal processing within the FPGA fabric.

The 5CSEBA2U23C8N operates at 600MHz and is suitable for applications where the reduced clock speed does not impact system performance, offering potential advantages in inventory availability (47,800 pcs vs. 1,302 pcs) and lead time optimization. The 25% speed reduction does not affect peripheral functionality, I/O count, or connectivity capabilities.

Both parts share identical thermal operating ranges (0°C ~ 85°C), package dimensions (672-UBGA 23x23), and moisture sensitivity ratings (MSL 3), ensuring equivalent thermal management and handling requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5CSEBA2U23C8N directly replace the 5CSEMA2U23C7N in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement is possible if the application does not require the full 800MHz processing speed. The 600MHz variant maintains identical I/O configuration, peripheral set, connectivity options, and physical package dimensions. System-level timing analysis is required to confirm that 600MHz operation meets application performance specifications.

Q: Are there differences in power consumption between these parts?

A: Power consumption data is not provided in the available parameters. Consult Intel datasheets for thermal and power specifications specific to each speed grade.

Q: Do both parts support the same connectivity protocols?

A: Yes. Both the 5CSEMA2U23C7N and 5CSEBA2U23C8N support identical connectivity: CANbus, EBI/EMI, Ethernet, I2C, MMC/SD/SDIO, SPI, UART/USART, and USB OTG.

Q: Are the package and pin configurations identical?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 672-UBGA (23x23) package with identical I/O pin assignments: 181 MCU I/O pins and 145 FPGA I/O pins.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The sole difference is the ARM Cortex-A9 processor clock speed: 800MHz for the 5CSEMA2U23C7N and 600MHz for the 5CSEBA2U23C8N. All other specifications, including FPGA logic elements, RAM, peripherals, and connectivity, are identical.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 5CSEMA2U23C7N and 5CSEBA2U23C8N are RoHS Compliant with REACH Unaffected status.
