What this FPGA brings to the board
The Intel EP4CE30F29C7 is a Cyclone IV E FPGA in a 780-ball FBGA package. It delivers 28848 logic elements and 532 user I/O, making it a fit for medium-density glue logic, display bridging, or motor-control interface consolidation where you need to absorb a wide parallel bus without a separate CPLD. The 608256 bits of embedded block RAM handle small FIFOs and line buffers. Supply is 1.15 V to 1.25 V core; all I/O banks are separate voltage rails per the Cyclone IV E architecture.
I/O and package — routing reality
532 I/O on a 780-ball BGA. The 29x29 mm body fits a standard BGA footprint. The commercial temperature range (0°C to 85°C junction) covers most indoor equipment.
Lifecycle and sourcing posture
This part carries an Active lifecycle status — no LTB notice, no NRND flag. That means it is still a safe BOM line for new production builds and field spares. The Cyclone IV E family has been in the market long enough that the supply chain is mature; allocation windows are rare outside a general FPGA shortage. For current pricing and availability, this unit is sourced to order through independent distribution — confirmed at quote time against an RFQ.
