What this Cyclone IV E FPGA brings to the board
The Intel EP4CE15F17C8N is a Cyclone® IV E FPGA packing 15,408 logic elements and 165 user I/O in a 256-ball FBGA package. It sits in the middle of the Cyclone IV E density range — enough logic for a moderate communications bridge, sensor fusion engine, or motor-control interface, but without the cost and power of the larger GX transceiver series. The 516,096 bits of embedded RAM handle small FIFOs or look-up tables without chewing up logic cells.
165 I/O in a 256-FBGA — routing and signal integrity
165 I/O are available from the 256-ball FBGA package. The 17×17 mm body fits compact layouts.
