What this Cyclone IV E FPGA delivers
The Intel EP4CE22E22C6N is a Cyclone® IV E FPGA with 22320 logic elements and 79 user I/O in a 144-EQFP package.
Logic density and I/O — matching the part to the design
With 22320 logic elements, this FPGA sits between the entry-level EP4CE6 (6272 LEs) and the larger EP4CE40 (39600 LEs) in the Cyclone IV E lineup. The 79 I/O count in a 144-pin package means roughly 55 pins are power or ground — typical for a low-core-voltage FPGA. If your design needs more than 79 user I/O, step up to the EP4CE40F29C8 with 532 I/O, but that comes in a 484-pin BGA. For a design that fits in 79 I/O, the 144-EQFP is a simpler, cheaper board assembly than a fine-pitch BGA.
Active lifecycle — no LTB clock ticking
The EP4CE22E22C6N carries an active lifecycle status. Intel is still manufacturing it, no last-time-buy notice has been issued, and it remains a valid choice for both new designs and ongoing production.
Package and mounting — what the 144-EQFP means on the board
The 144-EQFP (20x20 mm) has an exposed pad that must be soldered to a thermal land on the PCB and connected to the ground plane with vias.
