EP4CGX15BF14C8

The EP4CGX15BF14C8 is a Cyclone® IV GX field programmable gate array (FPGA) designed for commercial embedded applications that require programmable logic and on-chip memory. This surface-mount device combines a moderate logic element count with substantial embedded RAM and flexible I/O in a compact 169-ball BGA package.

Key Features

• Core logic — 14,400 logic elements providing configurable fabric for custom logic, protocol handling, and control functions.
• Configurable logic blocks (CLBs) — 900 CLBs for structured logic partitioning and design mapping.
• On-chip memory — Approximately 0.553 Mbits of embedded memory (552,960 total RAM bits) to support buffering, state storage, and local data processing.
• I/O capacity — 72 user I/O pins to interface with peripherals, sensors, and external logic.
• Power — Voltage supply range of 1.16 V to 1.24 V for core power planning and integration.
• Package and mounting — Surface mount device in a 169-LBGA package; supplier device package listed as 169-FBGA (14×14) for footprint reference.
• Operating range — Commercial-grade temperature range from 0 °C to 85 °C for standard commercial deployments.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant, supporting regulatory requirements for lead-free assembly.

Typical Applications

• Commercial embedded systems — Implement custom control logic, peripheral interfacing, and user-defined functions within commercial operating environments.
• Interface bridging and protocol handling — Use the FPGA’s logic elements and 72 I/Os to implement protocol translators, glue logic, and timing adaptation between subsystems.
• Local buffering and state machines — Leverage approximately 0.553 Mbits of on-chip RAM to implement FIFOs, small buffers, and state-machine memory for deterministic processing.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced logic density: 14,400 logic elements offer a mid-range resource set suited to many custom logic and control designs without oversizing.
• Integrated memory: Approximately 0.553 Mbits of embedded RAM reduces the need for external memory for buffering and local storage, simplifying BOM and board layout.
• Flexible I/O: 72 I/Os provide ample connectivity for sensors, peripherals, and external devices while keeping package pin count manageable.
• Compact, surface-mount packaging: 169-LBGA / 169-FBGA (14×14) package enables higher-density board designs and reliable soldered mounting.
• Commercial readiness: Commercial grade operation (0 °C to 85 °C) and RoHS compliance support mainstream product development and regulatory requirements.
