Product details

Logic fabric and resource budget for timing closure

The Intel EP4CE40F23C7N packs 39,600 logic elements (LEs) organized into 2,475 LABs/CLBs — enough fabric to absorb a moderate-size soft-core processor plus peripheral logic without hitting 90% utilization, which is where routing congestion starts stealing timing margin. The 1,161,216 total RAM bits (about 1.1 Mbit) provide on-chip block RAM for FIFOs, line buffers, or small look-up tables; for a video line buffer at 1280×1024 you need roughly 1.3 Mbit, so this part forces an external SRAM or SDRAM for that application. With 328 user I/O available in the 484-BGA package, the pinout can support a 32-bit DDR memory bus, a parallel LCD interface, and several serial links simultaneously — but the 0.8 mm ball pitch demands a four-layer PCB minimum to fan out the inner rows.

No pin-compatible second source from another manufacturer is documented for this exact package and logic count.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to the EP4CE40F23C7N in the Cyclone IV E family?

Within the Cyclone IV E family, the EP4CE55F23C7N offers 55,856 logic elements in the same 484-FBGA package and is pin-compatible, but it is a larger device with more fabric and a different resource budget. No exact pin-compatible alternative from another family or manufacturer is recorded.
