EP4CE6F17C8

The EP4CE6F17C8 is an Intel Cyclone® IV family field‑programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 256‑pin BGA package. It provides 6,272 logic elements and on‑chip embedded memory to implement custom digital logic, protocol glue, and I/O aggregation for commercial electronic products.

Targeted at commercial embedded and communications applications, this device balances moderate logic capacity, on‑chip RAM, and a 179‑pin I/O count with a compact 17×17 256‑FBGA footprint for surface‑mount designs. The published device handbook and datasheet cover operating conditions, DC characteristics, power consumption and switching specifications for design validation.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity 6,272 logic elements suitable for mid‑range custom logic integration and control functions.
• Embedded Memory 276,480 bits of on‑chip RAM (approximately 0.276 Mbits) to support buffering, FIFOs, and small data structures without external memory.
• I/O and Package 179 available I/O pins and a 256‑LBGA (supplier package: 256‑FBGA, 17×17 mm) surface‑mount package for dense board layouts and flexible I/O routing.
• Supply and Operating Range Core voltage supply range of 1.15 V to 1.25 V and commercial operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C, enabling designs for typical commercial environments.
• Commercial Grade & Compliance Commercial temperature grade and RoHS‑compliant construction for standard commercial product development and regulatory alignment.
• Documentation and Characterization Device handbook and datasheet include detailed operating conditions, absolute maximum ratings, DC characteristics, supply current and switching characteristics for design and verification.

Typical Applications

• Commercial Embedded Systems — Implement custom control logic, peripheral interfaces, and protocol translation in consumer and business equipment.
• Communications Equipment — Aggregate and condition signals, implement medium‑speed protocol bridging and I/O housekeeping for network devices.
• Instrumentation & Test — Provide programmable logic for data capture, preprocessing and instrument control where moderate logic density and on‑chip RAM are sufficient.
• Prototype and OEM Designs — Rapidly iterate hardware functions and integrate custom features in proof‑of‑concept and production‑intent boards using a compact BGA package.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory: 6,272 logic elements paired with 276,480 bits of embedded RAM let you implement substantial control and buffering without immediate need for external memory.
