EP4CGX22BF14C8

The EP4CGX22BF14C8 is a Cyclone® IV GX field programmable gate array (FPGA) IC from Intel. It provides a programmable fabric with 21,280 logic elements and approximately 0.77 Mbits of embedded memory, intended for commercial-grade digital designs.

This surface-mount FPGA in a 169-LBGA (169-FBGA, 14×14) package offers 72 user I/O pins, a low-voltage core supply range of 1.16 V to 1.24 V, and an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C, making it suitable for a variety of commercial embedded applications requiring programmable logic and on-chip memory.

Key Features

• Programmable Core — 21,280 logic elements provide the capacity to implement complex custom digital logic and control functions.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 0.77 Mbits of on-chip RAM to support data buffering, FIFOs, and small lookup tables without external memory.
• I/O — 72 user I/O pins available for interfacing with peripherals, sensors, and board-level signals.
• Package & Mounting — 169-LBGA (supplier package: 169-FBGA, 14×14) package designed for surface-mount assembly to support compact PCB layouts.
• Power — Core supply voltage range of 1.16 V to 1.24 V for the device core domain.
• Operating Range — Commercial temperature grade with an operating temperature range from 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant for restriction of hazardous substances.

Typical Applications

• Commercial Embedded Systems — Implement custom control logic, protocol bridging, and board-level processing in commercial electronic products within the specified temperature range.
• Digital Prototyping — Use the programmable fabric and on-chip memory for hardware validation and iterative design of digital functions.
• Interface and Glue Logic — Provide flexible I/O mapping and logic to integrate disparate peripherals and subsystems on a single board.

Unique Advantages

• Substantial Logic Capacity: 21,280 logic elements allow implementation of significant custom logic without immediate need for larger devices.
• Integrated On-Chip Memory: Approximately 0.77 Mbits of embedded RAM reduces dependence on external memory for many buffering and temporary storage needs.
• Compact Package: 169-LBGA (14×14) surface-mount package supports high-density board designs while providing 72 I/O pins.
• Commercial Temperature Rating: Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation to meet commercial product requirements.
• Low-Voltage Core: Narrow core voltage range (1.16 V to 1.24 V) enables predictable power-domain design for the device core.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets RoHS requirements for reduced hazardous substance content in assemblies.
