Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed maintain Active product status and full RoHS compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment. Selection between the 5CSEMA5F31C6N and its substitutes depends on speed grade requirements and series variant compatibility:

5CSEMA5F31C7N (800MHz): Cyclone® V SE variant with reduced speed grade. Suitable for applications where 800MHz performance meets timing constraints. Inventory availability is 2448 units.

5CSEMA5F31C8N (600MHz): Cyclone® V SE variant with lowest speed grade. Applicable to designs with relaxed timing requirements. Inventory availability is 3336 units.

5CSXFC5D6F31C8N (600MHz): Cyclone® V SX series variant at 600MHz. Differs from SE series in FPGA fabric configuration. ECCN classification differs (3A991D vs. 3A001A7B). Inventory availability is 2444 units.

All parts share identical package geometry, I/O count, RAM capacity, peripheral set, and connectivity options. Substitution is valid when application timing specifications accommodate the lower speed grade or when series variant differences are acceptable to system design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5CSEMA5F31C7N or 5CSEMA5F31C8N replace 5CSEMA5F31C6N in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided the application timing requirements are met at the lower speed grade. The 800MHz (5CSEMA5F31C7N) and 600MHz (5CSEMA5F31C8N) variants are functionally compatible with the 925MHz part. System-level timing analysis is required to confirm suitability.

Q: What is the difference between Cyclone® V SE and Cyclone® V SX series?

A: Both series share identical ARM processor cores, I/O counts, and package specifications. The primary difference is FPGA fabric configuration. The 5CSXFC5D6F31C8N (SX series) has a different ECCN classification (3A991D) compared to SE series parts (3A001A7B), which may affect export compliance requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts in the same 896-FBGA package?

A: Yes. All listed parts use the 896-FBGA (31x31) package with identical pinout and mechanical dimensions. Direct PCB-level substitution is possible without layout modifications.

Q: What inventory levels are available for each substitute?

A: 5CSEMA5F31C6N: 1114 units; 5CSEMA5F31C7N: 2448 units; 5CSEMA5F31C8N: 3336 units; 5CSXFC5D6F31C8N: 2444 units.

Q: Do all parts meet the same environmental and compliance standards?

A: Yes. All parts are RoHS Compliant, MSL 3 (168 Hours), and Active in product status. Operating temperature range is 0°C ~ 85°C (TJ) across all variants.

Q: Can 5CSXFC5D6F31C8N be used as a direct substitute for 5CSEMA5F31C6N?

A: Electrical and mechanical compatibility is confirmed. However, the different ECCN classification and series variant require design review to confirm FPGA fabric compatibility and export compliance applicability.
