EP4CE15F17I8LN

The EP4CE15F17I8LN is an Intel Cyclone® IV E Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC designed for programmable-logic implementations that require a balance of logic density, on-chip memory and I/O connectivity. It provides 15,408 logic elements and approximately 0.516 Mbits of embedded RAM in a compact 256-LBGA package.

With a 165-pin I/O count, industrial operating temperature range and low-voltage core supply window, this device targets designs that need flexible hardware customization, integrated memory resources and a compact surface-mount package.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  15,408 logic elements provide the programmable fabric required for custom logic, finite-state machines and hardware acceleration.
• On-Chip Memory  Approximately 0.516 Mbits of embedded RAM supports buffering, lookup tables and small data storage without external memory.
• I/O Density  165 general-purpose I/O pins enable broad interfacing options with peripherals, sensors and external devices.
• Package & Mounting  256-LBGA package (supplier device package: 256-FBGA, 17×17) in a surface-mount format for compact board designs.
• Power  Core supply operating range of 0.970 V to 1.03 V allows integration into low-voltage power domains.
• Temperature & Grade  Industrial grade with an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 100 °C for reliable operation in demanding thermal environments.
• Standards & Compliance  RoHS compliant, supporting regulatory requirements for lead-free assembly.
• Documentation  Supported by Cyclone IV device handbook material and datasheet-level specifications for electrical, timing and packaging details.

Typical Applications

• Custom Logic Acceleration  Implement hardware-accelerated datapaths and control logic using the device's 15,408 logic elements and on-chip RAM.
• Interface Bridging  Use the 165 I/O pins to bridge multiple interfaces or translate between protocols within a compact board footprint.
• Embedded Control  Integrate control and sequencing functions for embedded systems that require deterministic, reprogrammable logic.
• Prototyping & Evaluation  Rapidly iterate hardware designs and validate algorithms in silicon using the programmable fabric and embedded memory resources.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory:  15,408 logic elements combined with approximately 0.516 Mbits of RAM enable mid-density designs without immediate need for large external memory.
• High I/O Count in a Compact Package:  165 I/O pins in a 256-LBGA/256-FBGA (17×17) package reduce board area while maintaining interface flexibility.
• Industrial Temperature Range:  Rated from −40 °C to 100 °C for deployment in thermally challenging environments.
