EP4CE40F23C8L

The EP4CE40F23C8L is a Cyclone IV E family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Intel, supplied in a 484-ball BGA package. It provides a mid-range integration point with 39,600 logic elements, on-chip memory, and a high I/O count for commercial embedded designs.

Designed for applications that require substantial programmable logic, embedded memory, and dense I/O, this device delivers a balance of capacity and integration while operating from a core supply of 0.97 V to 1.03 V within a 0 °C to 85 °C commercial temperature range.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 39,600 logic elements for implementing combinational and sequential logic, state machines, and custom datapaths.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 1.16 Mbits of on-chip RAM to support buffering, FIFOs, and small data storage without external memory.
• I/O Resources — 328 user I/O pins to support parallel interfaces, external buses, and mixed-signal front ends in I/O-intensive designs.
• Package & Mounting — Available in a 484-BGA package; supplier device package listed as 484-FBGA (23 × 23) and intended for surface-mount assembly.
• Power Supply — Core voltage supply range specified at 0.970 V to 1.03 V for predictable power domain planning.
• Operating Range — Commercial-grade device rated for operation from 0 °C to 85 °C to match typical commercial embedded environments.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS-compliant for global electronic assembly requirements.

Typical Applications

• Commercial embedded systems — Implement control logic, protocol handling, and custom hardware acceleration within commercial products.
• Communication interfaces — Provide glue logic, parallel/serial interface aggregation, and buffering for I/O-dense communication equipment.
• Prototyping and evaluation — Serve as a programmable platform for proof-of-concept designs and hardware validation that require substantial logic and on-chip memory.
• Custom digital processing — Host bespoke datapath implementations, finite-state controllers, and peripheral bridging where integrated memory and I/O matter.

Unique Advantages

• Significant logic capacity: 39,600 logic elements enable complex digital functions and multiple concurrent logic blocks in a single device.
• On-chip RAM reduces external BOM: Approximately 1.16 Mbits of embedded memory lowers reliance on external memory for buffering and small data storage.
• High I/O count for flexible interfacing: 328 I/Os support diverse peripheral connections and bus interfaces without external expanders.
• Compact BGA packaging: 484-BGA (484-FBGA, 23 × 23) provides a dense footprint for space-constrained commercial PCBs while supporting surface-mount assembly.
• Commercial temperature suitability: Rated 0 °C to 85 °C to match typical commercial application thermal environments.
• RoHS compliance: Meets RoHS environmental requirements for modern electronic manufacturing.
