EP4CE6F17C8N

The EP4CE6F17C8N is a Cyclone IV E Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC designed for programmable digital logic and interface integration. It provides 6,272 logic elements and on-chip memory to implement custom combinational and sequential logic, with a large I/O count and a compact BGA package for surface-mount PCB assembly.

Targeted at commercial-grade designs, this device delivers a balance of integration and board-level density for applications that require flexible I/O, moderate embedded memory, and predictable operating conditions.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  6,272 logic elements for implementing custom digital logic and state machines.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 0.276 Mbits of total on-chip RAM (276,480 bits) to support FIFOs, small buffers, and local data storage.
• I/O Density  179 user I/O pins to support multiple parallel interfaces, external memory connections, or multi-channel signaling.
• Package and Mounting  Available in a 256-ball BGA package (256-LBGA / supplier package: 256-FBGA, 17×17) with surface-mount mounting for compact PCB footprint.
• Supply Voltage  Core operating voltage range of 1.15 V to 1.25 V, enabling integration into regulated power rails typical of FPGA cores.
• Temperature and Grade  Commercial-grade device rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operating temperature.
• Compliance  RoHS-compliant to meet common environmental directives for electronic components.

Typical Applications

• Custom Digital Logic  Implement glue logic, finite-state machines, and protocol adapters using the device’s 6,272 logic elements and embedded memory.
• High-Density I/O Interfaces  Use the 179 user I/Os to consolidate multiple peripheral interfaces, parallel buses, or multi-lane sensor connections on a single FPGA.
• Embedded System Prototyping  Rapidly prototype and iterate digital designs where compact BGA packaging and surface-mount assembly are required.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory:  6,272 logic elements paired with approximately 0.276 Mbits of on-chip RAM provides a practical balance for mid-range logic functions and local buffering without external memory.
• High I/O Count in a Compact Package:  179 I/Os in a 256-ball BGA footprint enable high connectivity while conserving board area.
• Predictable Commercial Operation:  Commercial-grade temperature rating (0 °C to 85 °C) and a defined core voltage range simplify power and thermal planning for mainstream products.
• Surface-Mount Assembly:  256-LBGA / 256-FBGA (17×17) package supports standard surface-mount manufacturing processes for volume production.
• Regulatory Hygiene:  RoHS compliance supports regulatory requirements for reduced hazardous substances in electronic products.
