EP4CE6F17C7N

The EP4CE6F17C7N is a Cyclone IV E field programmable gate array (FPGA) offering 6,272 logic elements and approximately 276,480 bits of on-chip RAM. It delivers a mid-range programmable logic solution in a compact 256-LBGA package for commercial-temperature embedded designs.

With 179 I/O pins, a surface-mount 256-FBGA (17×17 mm) supplier package, and a 1.15–1.25 V core supply range, this device is suited to applications that require reprogrammable digital logic, moderate embedded memory, and a dense I/O footprint within a commercial operating range (0 °C to 85 °C). The device is RoHS compliant and documented in the Cyclone IV device handbook and datasheet.

Key Features

• Core / Logic  6,272 logic elements for implementing custom digital functions and combinational/sequential logic.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 0.276 Mbits of on-chip RAM (276,480 total bits) for buffering, state storage, and small tables.
• I/O Density  179 I/O pins to support multiple interfaces and signal consolidation on a single device.
• Power Supply  Core voltage requirement of 1.15 V to 1.25 V for low-voltage system integration.
• Package & Mounting  256-LBGA package; supplier device package listed as 256-FBGA (17×17 mm). Surface-mount mounting type.
• Operating Range & Grade  Commercial grade operation from 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Compliance & Documentation  RoHS compliant; device is part of the Cyclone IV family with supporting device handbook and datasheet documentation.

Typical Applications

• Prototyping and Development  Reconfigurable logic for proof-of-concept designs and FPGA-based hardware validation using 6,272 logic elements and flexible I/O.
• Interface Bridge and Protocol Conversion  Consolidate multiple peripheral interfaces through the device's 179 I/O pins and on-chip logic resources.
• Custom Control and Glue Logic  Implement board-level control, state machines, and specialized glue logic without adding multiple discrete components.
• Embedded System Integration  On-chip RAM and programmable logic enable compact integration of control and buffering functions in commercial-temperature products.

Unique Advantages

• Mid-range programmable density: 6,272 logic elements provide ample resources for moderate-complexity designs while keeping board-level complexity low.
• On-chip RAM: Approximately 0.276 Mbits of embedded memory reduces dependence on external RAM for small buffers and lookup tables.
• High I/O count: 179 I/O pins simplify interface consolidation and reduce the need for additional interface chips.
• Compact BGA footprint: 256-LBGA / 256-FBGA (17×17 mm) packaging supports space-constrained assemblies and surface-mount manufacturing.
• Low-voltage core: 1.15–1.25 V supply range aligns with modern low-voltage system domains.
• Commercial-grade and compliant: 0 °C to 85 °C operating range and RoHS compliance suit a wide range of commercial electronic products.
