Cyclone IV EP4CE75F29I7N

I'm looking to see if there is a drop-in equivalent for this FPGA. For example, can the EP4CE115F29I7N be used as a circuit level equivalent? What type of configuration changes when programming mig...

Hi,


Thank you for contacting Intel community.


Kindly clarify what is mean by circuit level equivalent?

Sure thing.

First off, is there a chip with the same pin-out as the EP4CE75F29I7N? For example, can I substitute the EP4CE115F29I7N on the PCB without having to reconfigure the rest of the PCB to account for different pin locations, etc.

Secondly, will I have to completely rewrite the HDL to account for the new chip? Or is it simpler than that; for example, just telling the compiler to use the EP4CE115F29I7N instead?

Thank you in advance!


Best,
Randy
