At 15408 logic elements, this part sits in the middle of the Cyclone IV E density stack — enough for a soft-core processor plus peripheral logic, a modest video scaler, or a multi-axis motion controller. The 165 I/O break out to most of the 256 balls; you get flexibility for parallel buses and general-purpose expansion without the routing pain of a larger BGA. The 516096-bit RAM block count supports small FIFOs, coefficient tables, or line buffers for a VGA-resolution display. If your design needs more memory or I/O, the Cyclone IV E family scales up, but for this density tier the balance is practical.

Frequently asked questions
What is the cross reference for EP4CE15F17I7N?
There is no direct pin-for-pin second source from another manufacturer. Within the Cyclone IV E family, the EP4CE10U14I7N is a smaller-density sibling (10320 LEs, 179 I/O, 423936 RAM bits) in a different package (256-UBGA). For a functionally similar density with transceivers, the EP4CGX15BF14C8N (14400 LEs, 72 I/O, commercial temp) is a GX variant but not pin-compatible.
Where can I buy EP4CE15F17I7N?
