EP4CE15E22C7N

The EP4CE15E22C7N is a Cyclone IV E FPGA from Intel, offered in a 144-LQFP exposed-pad surface-mount package. It provides a mid-density programmable logic fabric suited to commercial designs that require configurable logic, embedded memory, and flexible I/O.

With 15,408 logic elements, approximately 0.5 Mbits of on-chip RAM, and 81 user I/Os, this device targets applications that benefit from integratable programmable logic at a commercial temperature range and a narrow core supply window.

Key Features

• Core Logic  Provides 15,408 logic elements suitable for mid-density programmable logic integration and custom digital functions.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 0.5 Mbits (516,096 total RAM bits) of on-chip RAM for buffering, small FIFOs, and state storage without external memory.
• I/O Count  81 user I/O pins to support parallel interfaces, control signals, and mixed I/O requirements within a compact package.
• Power  Operates from a core voltage supply range of 1.15 V to 1.25 V, enabling predictable power-supply requirements for system design.
• Package & Mounting  144-LQFP exposed-pad (supplier package: 144-EQFP, 20 × 20 mm) in a surface-mount form factor for PCB assembly and thermal path via the exposed pad.
• Temperature & Grade  Commercial grade with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Environmental Compliance  RoHS-compliant for conformity with lead-free assembly and environmental requirements.
• Documentation & Characterization  Device handbook and datasheet content cover operating conditions, DC characteristics, power consumption, switching characteristics, I/O specifications and ESD performance to support design validation.

Typical Applications

• Mid-density logic integration  Implement custom glue logic, protocol bridging, and control functions where ~15k logic elements meet system requirements.
• On-chip buffering and state machines  Use the device’s approximately 0.5 Mbits of embedded RAM for small data buffers, FIFOs, and finite-state machines without external memory.
• Compact I/O-driven designs  Designs requiring up to 81 user I/Os in a compact 144-LQFP package for space-constrained PCBs and surface-mount assembly.

Unique Advantages

• Right-sized programmable fabric: 15,408 logic elements provide a balance of capacity and cost for mid-range FPGA applications.
• On-chip memory reduces BOM: Approximately 0.5 Mbits of embedded RAM minimizes reliance on external memory components for small buffering and state storage.
• Compact, assembly-friendly package: 144-LQFP exposed-pad package with surface-mount mounting simplifies integration on densely populated PCBs and supports PCB thermal design.
• Predictable power domain: Narrow core supply range (1.15 V–1.25 V) simplifies power-supply design and system-level power sequencing.
• Commercial-grade operating range: Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation, suitable for a wide range of commercial product deployments.
• Standards-based documentation: Comprehensive datasheet and device handbook sections for operating conditions, DC and switching characteristics, and I/O specifications support engineering verification.
