EP4CE6U14I7N

The EP4CE6U14I7N is a Cyclone® IV E FPGA in a 256-LFBGA package designed for configurable digital logic implementations. It provides 6,272 logic elements, approximately 0.28 Mbits of embedded memory, and 179 general-purpose I/O pins in a surface-mount 256-UBGA (14×14) footprint.

This device targets designs that require a mid-range FPGA fabric with industrial-grade temperature capability and focused I/O density. Detailed electrical and performance information—including operating conditions, DC characteristics, switching characteristics, and power consumption—is documented in the Cyclone IV Device Handbook (Volume 3).

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 6,272 logic elements suitable for medium-complexity custom logic, control functions, and glue-logic implementations.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 0.28 Mbits (276,480 bits) of on-chip RAM to support FIFOs, small buffers, and state storage without external memory.
• I/O Density — 179 I/O pins provide flexible connectivity for peripherals, sensors, and interface logic in a compact package.
• Package and Mounting — 256-LFBGA package (supplier device package: 256-UBGA, 14×14) optimized for surface-mount assembly and compact board layouts.
• Power Supply — Core voltage supply range of 1.15 V to 1.25 V to support the device’s specified operating conditions.
• Industrial Temperature Grade — Rated for operation from −40 °C to 100 °C for deployment in industrial environments.
• Compliance — RoHS-compliant construction for regulatory and manufacturing alignment.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control — Utilizes the industrial temperature rating and 179 I/Os for sensor interfacing, control logic, and machine automation tasks.
• Custom Logic and Prototyping — 6,272 logic elements and embedded RAM enable implementation of bespoke state machines, protocol glue-logic, and proof-of-concept designs.
• I/O-Intensive Interface Modules — Dense I/O in a 256-LFBGA package supports board-level aggregation of signals for peripheral bridging and interface concentration.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Resource Set: Combines mid-range logic capacity with on-chip RAM to address common embedded logic needs without overprovisioning.
• Compact High-I/O Package: 179 I/Os in a 256-UBGA (14×14) footprint reduce board area while preserving connectivity options.
• Industrial Temperature Support: Specification down to −40 °C and up to 100 °C supports deployment in harsher operating environments.
• Narrow Core Voltage Window: 1.15 V to 1.25 V supply range provides clear power design targets for efficient power-rail implementation.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS-compliant manufacture supports environmental and process requirements for production.
