EP4CE15F23C8L

The EP4CE15F23C8L is a Cyclone IV E family FPGA manufactured by Intel, packaged in a 484-ball FBGA (23 × 23) surface-mount package. It provides a programmable logic fabric with 15,408 logic elements, approximately 0.516 Mbits of embedded memory, and 343 general-purpose I/O pins for flexible system interfacing.

Designed for commercial-grade applications, this device targets designs that require moderate logic density, sizable on-chip RAM, and a high I/O count while operating within a 0.97–1.03 V core supply range and a 0 °C to 85 °C ambient temperature window.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  15,408 logic elements for implementing custom digital functions and glue logic within mid-density designs.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 0.516 Mbits of on-chip RAM to support buffering, FIFOs, and small on-chip data storage needs.
• I/O Count  343 I/O pins to support multiple interfaces and high pin-count connectivity for peripheral integration.
• Core Supply Range  Core voltage specified from 0.97 V to 1.03 V to match system power domains operating in the low-voltage range.
• Package & Mounting  484-FBGA (23 × 23) ball-grid array in a surface-mount package for compact board-level integration.
• Operating Conditions  Commercial grade operation from 0 °C to 85 °C for general-purpose embedded and consumer applications.
• Compliance  RoHS-compliant manufacturing status.
• Documentation  Device details and operating guidance are documented in the Cyclone IV Device Handbook (Volume 3).

Typical Applications

• Consumer and Embedded Systems  Programmable control, display drivers, and peripheral glue logic in commercial electronic products.
• Communications and Networking  Protocol bridging, packet buffering, and interface adaptation where moderate logic density and many I/Os are required.
• Prototyping and Development  Platform for proof-of-concept designs and development work that benefit from reprogrammable logic and embedded RAM.
• Industrial Automation (Commercial Grade)  Control and monitoring functions in commercial automation equipment that operate within the specified temperature range.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory  15,408 logic elements combined with approximately 0.516 Mbits of embedded RAM provide a practical balance for mid-density designs without external memory for small buffers.
• High I/O Availability  343 I/Os enable multiple parallel interfaces and connectivity options, reducing the need for external multiplexing components.
• Compact BGA Package  The 484-FBGA (23 × 23) surface-mount package allows dense board-level integration while conserving PCB area.
• Low-Voltage Core Operation  A narrow core voltage range (0.97–1.03 V) facilitates integration into low-voltage power domains and simplifies power-supply planning.
• Commercial Temperature Range  Specified operation from 0 °C to 85 °C suits a wide range of commercial products and environments.
• Vendor Documentation  Supported by Intel’s Cyclone IV Device Handbook, providing detailed device specifications and design guidance.
