Replacement verdict
Compatible functional replacement candidate
The 10CL040YF484I7G and 10CL080YF484C6G are both Intel Cyclone 10 LP FPGAs in the same 484-pin FBGA package, sharing identical I/O count, supply voltage, and logic architecture. The 10CL080YF484C6G offers higher logic density and a faster speed grade, making it a viable functional upgrade candidate for the 10CL040YF484I7G in most designs, provided timing closure and power budget are revalidated.

Key electrical and mechanical differences between the two devices
| Parameter | 10CL040YF484I7G | 10CL080YF484C6G | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Logic Elements (LEs) | 40,000 | 80,000 | Logic capacity determines how much digital logic can be implemented; a device with half the LEs cannot host a design that requires the larger density. |
| Total RAM Bits | 1,161,216 | 2,810,880 | Embedded memory is needed for buffering, FIFOs, and data storage; insufficient RAM forces external memory or prevents the design from fitting. |
| Embedded Multiplier (18x18) Blocks | 126 | 244 | DSP blocks accelerate multiplication and filtering; fewer multipliers limit signal-processing throughput and may require logic-based alternatives. |
| Maximum User I/O Pins | 277 | 277 | I/O count determines how many external signals can be interfaced; matching counts supports similar board-level connectivity. |
| Package | 484-pin FBGA | 484-pin FBGA | Package and pinout must match for physical board compatibility and drop-in replacement. |
| Operating Temperature Range | -40°C to 100°C (Industrial) | 0°C to 85°C (Commercial) | Temperature grade affects reliability in harsh environments; an industrial part can replace a commercial one in wider-temperature applications, but not vice versa. |
| Speed Grade | 7 (Slowest) | 6 (Faster) | Speed grade determines maximum operating frequency; a slower grade may not meet timing closure for a design targeting the faster grade. |
| Core Supply Voltage | 1.2 V | 1.2 V | Core voltage must match the board power design; identical values allow the same power rail to be reused. |
| Configuration Memory Type | SRAM-based (volatile) | SRAM-based (volatile) | Volatile configuration requires an external configuration device on every power-up; both parts share the same boot requirements. |

Frequently asked questions
What are the key differences between the 10CL040YF484I7G and the 10CL080YF484C6G?
The primary differences are logic density, speed grade, and temperature grade. The 10CL040YF484I7G is a Cyclone 10 LP device with 40,000 logic elements, an I7 speed grade (fastest), and industrial temperature range. The 10CL080YF484C6G has 80,000 logic elements, a C6 speed grade (faster than standard but slower than I7), and commercial temperature range. Both share the same 484-pin FBGA package.
Are the 10CL040YF484I7G and 10CL080YF484C6G pin-compatible?
Yes. Both devices are offered in the same 484-pin FineLine BGA (FBGA) package with identical pinouts as defined by Intel (Altera) Cyclone 10 LP documentation. However, designers must verify that all power, ground, and I/O assignments meet the specific requirements of each density and speed grade before substituting one for the other.
Can the 10CL040YF484I7G be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the 10CL080YF484C6G?
No, not as a direct drop-in replacement. Although the package is the same, the 10CL080YF484C6G offers twice the logic density and a different speed/temperature grade. A design targeting the 10CL080YF484C6G may exceed the logic capacity of the 10CL040YF484I7G, and timing closure may differ due to speed grade changes. A full design re-evaluation is required.
What are the operating temperature ranges for these two devices?
The 10CL040YF484I7G is rated for industrial temperature range (typically -40°C to +100°C junction temperature). The 10CL080YF484C6G is rated for commercial temperature range (typically 0°C to +85°C junction temperature). The industrial-grade device is suitable for harsher environments, while the commercial-grade device is intended for controlled environments.
Which device has a faster speed grade, the 10CL040YF484I7G or the 10CL080YF484C6G?
The 10CL040YF484I7G has a faster speed grade. In Intel Cyclone 10 LP nomenclature, the I7 speed grade is the fastest available, while C6 is a mid-range speed grade. Therefore, the 10CL040YF484I7G offers shorter propagation delays and higher maximum operating frequencies compared to the 10CL080YF484C6G.
Do both devices support the same configuration schemes?
Yes. Both the 10CL040YF484I7G and 10CL080YF484C6G are Cyclone 10 LP FPGAs and support the same configuration schemes, including active serial (AS), passive serial (PS), JTAG, and active parallel (AP) modes. Configuration details are documented in the Intel Cyclone 10 LP Device Handbook.
What is the logic element count for each device?
The 10CL040YF484I7G contains 40,000 logic elements (LEs). The 10CL080YF484C6G contains 80,000 logic elements (LEs). This difference directly affects the available logic capacity for user designs and may influence resource utilization and fitting results.
Are these devices RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes. Both the 10CL040YF484I7G and 10CL080YF484C6G are offered in RoHS-compliant, lead-free packages as specified in Intel's product material declarations. Designers should confirm the specific ordering code and package marking to ensure compliance with their application requirements.
