What this Cyclone IV E FPGA brings to the board
The Intel EP4CE15F23I8LN is a Cyclone® IV E FPGA packing 15408 logic elements and 343 usable I/O in a 484-ball BGA. That logic count sits in the middle of the Cyclone IV E family — enough for a modest motor-drive control core, a multi-axis encoder interface, or a glue-logic consolidation on a medium-sized industrial PCB. The 516096 bits of embedded RAM handle small FIFOs or coefficient tables without chewing up logic fabric.
Industrial temperature range — what it means on the bench
Rated from -40°C to 100°C (junction). The 23x23 mm BGA footprint requires a thermal via pattern under the center pad.
Active lifecycle — no LTB clock ticking
The EP4CE15F23I8LN carries an Active status from Intel. That means no end-of-life notice on the horizon, no last-time-buy scramble, and full manufacturer support for new designs. For a BOM freeze, this part is a safe anchor — you're not sourcing against a discontinuation calendar.
Sourcing reality for this FPGA
We source the EP4CE15F23I8LN through independent distribution channels. Availability and pricing are confirmed at quote time against an RFQ.
