EP4CE15M9I7N

The EP4CE15M9I7N is an Intel Cyclone IV E field programmable gate array delivered in a compact 256-TFBGA package. It provides a mid-range programmable logic fabric with 15,408 logic elements, approximately 0.516 Mbits of embedded memory, and 165 user I/Os for flexible system integration.

Packaged for surface-mount assembly and rated for industrial operation, this device is suited to designs that require programmable logic, moderate on-chip RAM, and a wide operating temperature range while meeting RoHS compliance and operating from a 1.15 V to 1.25 V core supply.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  15,408 logic elements provide a programmable fabric for custom digital logic, control functions, and glue-logic integration.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 0.516 Mbits of on-chip RAM to support buffering, state machines, and small data structures without external memory.
• I/O Count  165 user I/Os enable broad connectivity for peripherals, sensors, and external interfaces in a single device.
• Supply Voltage  Core supply range of 1.15 V to 1.25 V for compatibility with Cyclone IV E power domains and designs targeting that voltage window.
• Package & Mounting  256-TFBGA device in a 256-MBGA (9×9) supplier device package, intended for surface-mount PCB assembly to minimize board footprint.
• Industrial Temperature Range  Rated for operation from −40 °C to 100 °C to meet demanding environmental conditions encountered in industrial applications.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant construction supports regulatory requirements for lead-free electronics manufacturing.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control  Implement custom control, sequencing, and deterministic logic for factory automation, motor drives, and machine controllers using on-chip logic and I/O.
• Embedded Systems  Integrate glue logic, protocol bridging, and peripheral management where moderate logic density and embedded memory reduce external component count.
• Communication Endpoints  Support interface conversion, parallel/serial bridging, and custom packet handling leveraging the device’s I/O count and programmable fabric.
• Prototyping and Custom ASIC Replacement  Use the FPGA to validate designs or replace fixed-function logic with a reprogrammable solution offering 15,408 logic elements.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory:  15,408 logic elements paired with approximately 0.516 Mbits of embedded RAM provide a mid-range platform for control and data-path tasks without external memory in many designs.
• Generous I/O Density:  165 user I/Os enable broad connectivity to sensors, peripherals, and external logic, reducing the need for additional interface chips.
• Industrial Reliability:  Operating range from −40 °C to 100 °C supports deployment in harsh and temperature-variable environments.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package:  256-TFBGA in a 256-MBGA (9×9) supplier package allows dense PCB layouts and space-efficient system designs.
• Regulatory-Friendly:  RoHS compliance simplifies adoption in lead-free manufacturing processes.
• Known Vendor Lineage:  Part of the Cyclone IV E family from Intel, with published device documentation for design reference and integration.
