EP4CE10F17C9L

The EP4CE10F17C9L is a Cyclone® IV E field programmable gate array (FPGA) device from Intel (Altera) that provides a mid-range integration point for programmable logic and I/O. It combines approximately 10,320 logic elements with roughly 0.424 Mbits of embedded memory and 179 user I/Os to support a wide range of digital designs.

Packaged in a 256-ball L-BGA (supplier package: 256-FBGA, 17×17) and rated for commercial operation from 0 °C to 85 °C, the device targets designs where balanced logic capacity, on-chip memory, and generous I/O count are required.

Key Features

• Core Logic  Approximately 10,320 logic elements suitable for mid-range programmable logic tasks and custom digital implementations.
• Logic Array Blocks  645 logic array blocks (LABs) provide structured grouping of logic resources to simplify partitioning and implementation.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 0.424 Mbits of on-chip RAM to support buffering, state storage, and local data processing without external memory.
• I/O Capacity  179 user I/Os to accommodate extensive peripheral interfacing, bus bridging, and sensor or actuator connections.
• Package & Mounting  256-LBGA package (supplier package: 256-FBGA, 17×17) in a surface-mount format for high-density board designs.
• Power Supply  Core voltage support in the range 0.970 V to 1.030 V as specified for device operation.
• Temperature Grade  Commercial operating range from 0 °C to 85 °C for standard embedded and consumer-oriented applications.
• Regulatory Status  RoHS compliant, supporting assembly and manufacturing requirements for compliant systems.
• Documentation Basis  Device falls within the Cyclone IV Device family; refer to the Cyclone IV Device Handbook for detailed electrical, timing, and implementation specifications.

Typical Applications

• Mid-range embedded systems  Use the EP4CE10F17C9L for compact logic integration and local processing where ~10k logic elements and on-chip RAM support custom control and data handling.
• Interface bridging and protocol conversion  179 I/Os enable implementation of multi-protocol interfaces, signal translation, and bus interfacing on a single device.
• Prototyping and rapid development  The Cyclone IV E architecture and accessible resource balance make the device suitable for proof-of-concept designs and iterative hardware development.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced resource mix: The combination of ~10,320 logic elements and ~0.424 Mbits of embedded memory offers a practical balance for designs that require both logic density and on-chip storage.
• High I/O count: With 179 user I/Os, the device simplifies board-level routing for systems with multiple peripherals or parallel interfaces.
• Compact, surface-mount package: The 256-LBGA (256-FBGA, 17×17) package supports dense PCB designs and standard surface-mount assembly processes.
• Commercial temperature suitability: Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation, the device fits a wide range of consumer and embedded applications without industrial-grade qualification requirements.
• Standards-compliant supply chain: RoHS compliance supports regulatory and manufacturing needs for environmentally controlled assemblies.
