Code compiled for EP3C10M164I7N used on EP3C10M164C8N

We are building a device that used the EP3C10M164I7N, but cannot get them. The EP3C10M164C8N is available, with the only noted differences in part number being I to C - Temp range, and 7 - 8 speed gr...

The two devices are physically the same die and can use the exact same .jic programming file.

They are just tested and placed into different speed/temperature bins by Intel/Altera based on manufacturing yield testing.

That being said, you could possibly see differences in behavior if you are operating at the limits of speed and/or temperature.

You don't say what your product environmental specifications are nor what your device clock rate is.

Eg, you initially used an I temp device. Is your product expected to run at -40'C to 100'C die temp?

If so, the using the C temp device may be an issue. Only you can answer that question.
