What this Cyclone IV E FPGA delivers for your logic design
The Intel EP4CE40F19A7N is a Cyclone IV E FPGA with 39600 logic elements and 2475 LABs/CLBs in a 324-FBGA package. It provides 193 user I/O and 1161216 bits of embedded RAM.
193 I/O and 324-FBGA — what the footprint means for your board
The 324-ball FBGA (19x19 mm) is a mid-density BGA. 193 I/O allows interfacing a parallel ADC bus, a DDR memory controller, and serial peripherals without multiplexing.
Industrial temperature grade — where it fits and where it doesn't
Rated for -40°C to 125°C junction temperature, this is the wide-temperature variant of the Cyclone IV E family. The commercial-grade sibling EP4CE40F29C8 is limited to 0°C to 85°C. If your design sees cold starts in a substation or heat soak near a motor drive, the A7N suffix is the one that stays within spec. For a benchtop or indoor appliance, the commercial part saves a few dollars per unit.
