What this FPGA is and where it fits
The EP4CE30F23C8 is an Intel Cyclone® IV E FPGA with 28848 logic elements and 328 I/O in a 484-ball BGA package. It sits in the middle of the Cyclone IV E density range — enough fabric for a modest video bridge, motor-control logic, or sensor-fusion pipeline, but not the high-end device for a full SERDES-based backplane. The 608256 bits of embedded RAM cover moderate FIFO depths and line buffers; designs that need multiple large frame stores will reach for the external memory controller instead.
Core ratings and what they mean for the BOM
The core supply range is 1.15 V to 1.25 V. The operating temperature range is 0°C to 85°C. The device has 28848 logic elements and 328 I/O in a 484-BGA package.
