Replacement verdict
Compatible functional replacement candidate
The 10CL080YF484C6G is a viable functional replacement for the 10CL080YF484I7G in commercial-grade applications, with identical logic density, package, and supply voltage. However, the industrial temperature range of the I7G variant is not matched by the C6G, and the faster speed grade of the C6G may require timing revalidation. Designers must confirm that the narrower temperature range and faster switching characteristics are acceptable for the target application.

Key electrical and mechanical differences between the two devices
| Parameter | 10CL080YF484I7G | 10CL080YF484C6G | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Operating Temperature Range | -40°C to 100°C (Industrial) | 0°C to 85°C (Commercial) | Determines the environments in which the device can reliably operate; industrial-grade parts support wider temperature extremes than commercial-grade parts. |
| Speed Grade | 7 (faster) | 6 (slower) | Speed grade affects maximum operating frequency and timing closure; a faster grade can meet tighter timing requirements but may cost more. |
| Temperature Grade Suffix | I (Industrial) | C (Commercial) | Indicates the qualification level of the device; industrial parts are tested and guaranteed over a wider temperature range than commercial parts. |
| Family | Cyclone 10 LP | Cyclone 10 LP | Both parts belong to the same FPGA family, ensuring architectural compatibility and similar tool support. |
| Logic Elements (LEs) | 80,000 | 80,000 | Logic capacity determines the complexity of designs the FPGA can implement; identical LE counts mean equivalent logic resources. |
| Package | 484-pin FBGA | 484-pin FBGA | Package type and pin count must match for physical board compatibility and footprint interchangeability. |
| Supply Voltage | 1.2 V core | 1.2 V core | Core voltage must be compatible with the board power design; identical values allow the same power supply to be used. |
| Manufacturer | Intel (Altera) | Intel (Altera) | Same manufacturer ensures consistent documentation, toolchain support, and quality standards. |

Frequently asked questions
What are the 10CL080YF484I7G and 10CL080YF484C6G devices?
Both are Intel (formerly Altera) Cyclone 10 LP field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) in the same 484-pin FineLine BGA (FBGA) package. The 10CL080YF484I7G is specified for the industrial temperature grade, while the 10CL080YF484C6G is specified for the commercial temperature grade. Both share the 10CL080 device density and YF484 package code.
What is the difference between the I7 and C6 speed and temperature grades?
The suffix "I7" indicates an industrial-grade device with a speed grade of 7, and "C6" indicates a commercial-grade device with a speed grade of 6. In Intel FPGA ordering codes, the letter denotes the temperature range (I = industrial, C = commercial) and the number denotes the speed grade. The C6 speed grade is faster than the I7 speed grade, while the I7 device supports a wider ambient temperature range than the C6 device.
Are the 10CL080YF484I7G and 10CL080YF484C6G pin-compatible?
Yes. Both devices use the same 484-pin FineLine BGA (FBGA) package with the YF484 package code and the same 10CL080 die. Because the package and device density are identical, the pinout and PCB land pattern are the same, allowing either device to be placed on the same board footprint.
Can the 10CL080YF484I7G and 10CL080YF484C6G be used interchangeably in a design?
They are not fully interchangeable without design validation. The C6 commercial-grade device has a faster speed grade than the I7 industrial-grade device, and the I7 device supports a wider temperature range. A design that meets timing with the I7 device may have different timing margins with the C6 device, and a design intended for commercial temperature operation may not meet industrial temperature requirements if populated with the C6 device. Timing analysis and thermal validation must be performed for the specific target device.
What is the operating temperature range for each device?
The 10CL080YF484I7G is an industrial-grade device and is specified for the industrial temperature range defined in the Intel Cyclone 10 LP device datasheet. The 10CL080YF484C6G is a commercial-grade device and is specified for the commercial temperature range defined in the same datasheet. Exact junction and ambient temperature limits should be confirmed in the current Intel Cyclone 10 LP datasheet.
Do both devices support the same configuration and I/O standards?
Yes. Because both are Cyclone 10 LP 10CL080 devices in the same YF484 package, they support the same configuration schemes and the same set of I/O standards defined for the Cyclone 10 LP family. Configuration method, I/O bank structure, and supported I/O standards are determined by the device family and package, not by the temperature or speed grade suffix.
Which device should be selected for an industrial-temperature application?
The 10CL080YF484I7G should be selected for applications requiring the industrial temperature range, because the "I" suffix denotes industrial-grade qualification. The 10CL080YF484C6G is a commercial-grade device and is not specified for industrial temperature operation. Final selection should be confirmed against the current Intel Cyclone 10 LP ordering information and datasheet.
Which device should be selected when higher speed grade is required?
The 10CL080YF484C6G should be selected when a faster speed grade is required, because the "6" suffix denotes a faster speed grade than the "7" suffix on the 10CL080YF484I7G. However, the C6 device is commercial-grade, so the temperature range must also be considered. If both industrial temperature range and the faster speed grade are required, an alternative ordering code with both attributes should be evaluated.
