What this FPGA brings to the board
The Intel EP4CE22F17I7 is a Cyclone IV E FPGA in a 256-FBGA package, offering 22,320 logic elements and 153 user I/O. It carries 608,256 bits of embedded RAM, enough for moderate FIFO or line-buffer storage without external SRAM. The 1.15 V to 1.25 V core supply keeps dynamic power in check for thermally constrained enclosures.
Temperature grade and deployment
Rated for -40°C to 100°C junction temperature, this part suits industrial motor drives, outdoor telecom gear, and factory automation panels. The 256-FBGA (17x17 mm) footprint fits standard reflow profiles.
Sourcing and lifecycle
The EP4CE22F17I7 is listed as active — no last-time-buy notice or NRND flag. Intel continues to support the Cyclone IV E family for new designs. For dual-sourcing resilience, the 10CL025ZU256I8G (Cyclone 10 LP) offers similar logic density and the same 256-ball BGA footprint, though its core supply is 1.0 V, so the power rail needs adjustment.
