Pricing is confirmed at quote time against an RFQ. As a distributor sourcing through multiple channels, we provide a competitive quote based on current market conditions and quantity. No single price figure is published here because the market moves.
There is no direct pin-compatible replacement from another manufacturer. Within the Cyclone IV E family, the EP4CE40F29C8 offers a smaller logic array (39600 LEs) and different I/O count (532) in the same 780-BGA package, but the logic and RAM density differ. Verify your fitment against the EP4CE55 before substituting.
Lead time varies with current factory backlog and distributor stock. We confirm lead time at quote against your requested quantity. Typical lead times for active Cyclone IV E parts range from a few weeks to several months depending on volume.
No. The absolute maximum junction temperature is 85°C (TJ). Operating above that rating exceeds the manufacturer's specification and risks reliability failures. For extended temperature applications, look at the Cyclone IV GX or Cyclone V families with industrial or automotive temperature grades.
Both share the same Cyclone IV E core, 55856 logic elements, 374 I/O, and 780-BGA package. The suffix difference (C9LN vs C8N) typically indicates speed grade and/or lead finish. The C9LN is the standard speed grade with lead-free (RoHS) finish; the C8N is a faster speed grade with lead-free finish. The C8N offers tighter timing margins if your design is near the Fmax limit.
