EP4CGX15BF14C6N

The EP4CGX15BF14C6N is a Cyclone® IV GX field programmable gate array (FPGA) designed for commercial embedded and I/O-centric applications. It delivers a mid-density logic fabric with on-chip RAM and a compact BGA footprint for space-efficient board designs.

Intended for commercial-temperature designs, this device balances logic capacity, embedded memory, and I/O resources to support digital signal processing, interface bridging, and general-purpose programmable logic roles in cost-sensitive systems.

Key Features

• Core FPGA Architecture  Cyclone® IV GX family device with 14,400 logic elements to implement programmable logic, control, and custom accelerators.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 0.553 Mbits of on-chip RAM for buffering, FIFOs, and small data-storage requirements.
• Programmable I/O  72 user I/O pins to support multiple peripheral interfaces and board-level connectivity.
• Power Supply  Operating supply range of 1.16 V to 1.24 V to match system power-rail design requirements.
• Package & Mounting  169-ball FBGA (14 × 14) in a 169-LBGA package; surface-mount construction for compact PCB layouts.
• Operating Conditions & Grade  Commercial temperature range from 0 °C to 85 °C and specified as Commercial grade.
• Environmental Compliance  RoHS-compliant product design.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Control  Implement control logic, protocol handling, and glue-logic for commercial embedded systems where mid-density FPGA resources are required.
• Interface Bridging  Translate or aggregate multiple peripheral interfaces using the device’s 72 I/O pins and programmable logic.
• Prototyping & Evaluation  Use as a development platform for testing custom logic, algorithms, and system-level integration before production.
• Consumer and Commercial Electronics  Integrate custom user interfaces, I/O management, and signal routing within compact product designs operating in the commercial temperature range.

Unique Advantages

• Mid-density logic capacity: 14,400 logic elements provide a balance between resource availability and cost for a wide set of programmable tasks.
• On-chip RAM for local buffering: Approximately 0.553 Mbits of embedded memory reduces external memory needs for many control and buffering functions.
• Sufficient I/O for complex interfacing: 72 I/O pins support multiple peripheral connections without immediate need for external I/O expanders.
• Compact BGA package: 169-LBGA (14×14) in a surface-mount form factor enables high-density PCB implementations and minimized board footprint.
• Tightly controlled core voltage: Narrow supply range (1.16–1.24 V) simplifies power-rail design and margin planning for the FPGA core.
• RoHS compliance: Aligns with environmental requirements for commercial electronics production.
