Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between EPM1270M256C5N and EPM1270M256C4N?
The C5N and C4N suffixes denote different speed grades. The C5N has a 6.2 ns tpd; the C4N is faster. Both share the same 980-macrocell density and 256-TFBGA package.
What package does EPM1270M256C5N use?
256-ball TFBGA (Thin Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array), 11x11 mm body.
What is the replacement for EPM1270M256C5N?
No direct replacement is listed. The part is still active, so a replacement is not needed. For a smaller logic consolidation job, the EPM240F100C5N (192 macrocells, 80 I/O) is a functional alternative but not a pin-compatible drop-in.
