EP4CE15F17I7N

The EP4CE15F17I7N is an Intel Cyclone® IV E Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) supplied in a 256-LBGA package. It provides a medium-density programmable logic fabric with 15,408 logic elements and embedded on-chip RAM suitable for a range of industrial embedded designs.

Designed for flexible integration, this device offers a broad I/O count and a narrow core supply voltage range to support deterministic power delivery and scalable digital designs where board-level integration and temperature tolerance matter.

Key Features

• Programmable Logic 15,408 logic elements provide the core programmable fabric for custom digital functions and control logic.
• Embedded Memory Approximately 0.516 Mbits of on-chip RAM for buffering, state storage, and small lookup tables.
• I/O Capacity 165 user I/Os enable broad peripheral interfacing and flexible board-level connectivity options.
• Power and Core Voltage Core supply requirement of 1.15 V to 1.25 V supports tightly controlled power domains and predictable power-up sequencing.
• Package and Mounting Supplied in a 256-LBGA package (supplier device package: 256-FBGA, 17×17) with surface-mount mounting for standard PCB assembly processes.
• Industrial Temperature Range Rated for operation from −40 °C to 100 °C and specified as Industrial grade for deployment in temperature-challenging environments.
• Family Documentation Part of the Cyclone IV device family with detailed device handbook and datasheet support for electrical characteristics, operating conditions, and timing specifications.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control The industrial temperature rating and surface-mount 256-LBGA package suit control and automation subsystems that require reliable operation across wide temperature ranges.
• Embedded Logic and Glue Use the FPGA’s 15,408 logic elements and 165 I/Os for custom glue logic, protocol bridging, and peripheral aggregation on compact PCBs.
• Prototyping and Low-to-Medium Density Designs The device’s logic density and on-chip RAM make it appropriate for prototype implementations or production designs that need configurable logic without excessive capacity.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic Density: 15,408 logic elements deliver a practical balance between capacity and cost for moderate-complexity designs.
• Integrated Memory: Approximately 0.516 Mbits of embedded RAM reduce external memory dependence for small buffers and state machines.
• High I/O Count: 165 I/Os simplify board-level integration by accommodating multiple peripherals and interfaces directly.
• Industrial-Grade Operation: Rated from −40 °C to 100 °C, enabling deployment in temperature-demanding installations.
• Compact, Standard Package: 256-LBGA (256-FBGA, 17×17) supports modern surface-mount assembly and dense PCB layouts.
• Controlled Core Voltage Range: 1.15 V to 1.25 V core supply window helps ensure repeatable power characteristics and compatibility with regulated power domains.
