What this Cyclone IV E FPGA brings to the board
The Intel EP4CE10F17I7 is a Cyclone® IV E FPGA with 10320 logic elements and 423936 bits of embedded RAM, packed into a 256-FBGA (17x17) package. It gives you 179 user I/Os.
Active lifecycle and sourcing posture
The EP4CE10F17I7 carries an Active product status. The EP4CE10U14I7N is a functional peer in the same Cyclone IV E family.
Where it fits in a design
With 10320 logic elements and 423936 bits of RAM, this FPGA is sized for medium-complexity glue logic, sensor fusion, motor-control PWM generation, or display interface bridging. The 179 I/Os give enough headroom to connect multiple parallel ADCs, a memory bus, and a handful of serial peripherals without multiplexing. The industrial temperature range means it can live in an unventilated enclosure or near a heat source without derating concerns.
