EP4CE15F23C8N

The EP4CE15F23C8N is a Cyclone IV E family FPGA from Intel designed for commercial embedded logic applications. It delivers programmable logic capacity, on-chip memory, and high I/O density in a compact 484-BGA surface-mount package.

Key attributes include 15,408 logic elements, approximately 0.52 Mbits of embedded RAM, and 343 user I/O pins, making this device suitable for commercial designs that require moderate logic density and substantial board-level I/O integration.

Key Features

• Core Logic  15,408 logic elements provide the programmable fabric for custom digital functions and control logic.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 0.52 Mbits (516,096 bits) of on-chip RAM for buffering, FIFOs, and small data structures.
• I/O Density  343 available I/O pins to support broad connectivity to peripherals, sensors, and external devices.
• Package & Mounting  484-BGA package (supplier device package: 484-FBGA (23×23)) in a surface-mount form factor for compact board-level integration.
• Power Supply  Core voltage supply range of 1.15 V to 1.25 V to match typical Cyclone IV E power domains.
• Operating Range & Grade  Commercial-grade device with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Compliance  RoHS-compliant to support environmentally conscious manufacturing and assembly processes.
• Family Documentation  Part of the Cyclone IV device family with supporting device handbook documentation from Altera/Intel for design guidance.

Typical Applications

• Commercial embedded systems  Use the FPGA’s 15,408 logic elements and 343 I/O pins for custom control, glue logic, and peripheral interfacing in commercial products.
• Board-level integration  The 484-FBGA (23×23) surface-mount package simplifies high-density PCB layouts where a compact BGA footprint is required.
• Memory buffering and data handling  Approximately 0.52 Mbits of embedded RAM supports buffering and small data structures directly on-chip.
• Commercial temperature deployments  Designed for systems operating within the 0 °C to 85 °C commercial temperature range.

Unique Advantages

• Significant logic capacity: 15,408 logic elements enable implementation of complex finite-state machines, interface controllers, and moderate-density custom logic.
• High I/O count: 343 I/O pins provide flexible connectivity options for dense peripheral and bus interfaces without immediate need for external expanders.
• On-chip RAM for efficiency: Approximately 0.52 Mbits of embedded memory reduces reliance on external RAM for small buffering and control data, saving board space and BOM cost.
• Compact BGA package: The 484-FBGA (23×23) package balances pin count and PCB area for space-constrained commercial designs.
• RoHS-compliant and commercial grade: RoHS-compliance and a 0 °C to 85 °C operating range align the device with standard commercial manufacturing and deployment practices.
• Documented family support: Inclusion in the Cyclone IV device handbook series provides established documentation to assist development and validation.
