MAX 10 FPGA — 40K logic elements in a 256-ball BGA
The Intel 10M40DCF256I7G is a MAX® 10 family FPGA with 40000 logic elements and 1290240 total RAM bits, packaged in a 256-FBGA (17x17 mm). It provides 178 user I/O. This is the industrial-temperature version, rated -40°C to 100°C junction, so it belongs in a factory-floor controller, a comms cabinet, or an outdoor enclosure that stays above freezing — not under a car hood or next to a kiln. The 125°C variant (10M40DCF256A7G) exists for the hotter spots.
40K logic elements — what that buys you
Forty thousand logic elements is a mid-range density for the MAX 10 line. It fits a soft-core processor plus peripheral controllers.
