What this FPGA is and where it fits
The Intel EP4CE40F23C8 is a Cyclone® IV E FPGA with 39600 logic elements and 2475 LABs/CLBs. It carries 1161216 RAM bits and 328 user I/O in a 484-BGA package (23x23 mm).
39600 logic elements — what that means for the BOM
At 39600 logic elements, this part sits in the mid-range of the Cyclone IV E family. The 328 I/O in a 484-BGA gives enough headroom for a parallel bus, DDR memory interface, and a handful of peripheral pins.
Active lifecycle — no LTB pressure
Intel lists the EP4CE40F23C8 as Active. No last-time-buy notice or end-of-life announcement is published. For production planning, this means you can qualify it into a new BOM without worrying about a forced redesign in the next couple of years.
Sourcing and availability
This part is sourced through independent distribution channels. Pricing and availability are confirmed at quote time against an RFQ. For a BOM line that needs to stay filled, the active lifecycle and the existence of a pin-compatible Cyclone 10 LP alternate mean you have supply options beyond a single source.
