What this Cyclone IV E FPGA delivers
The Intel EP4CE40F23C9LN is a Cyclone IV E FPGA with 39,600 logic elements arranged in 2,475 LABs/CLBs, plus 1,161,216 bits of embedded RAM. The 328 user I/O route through a 484-ball BGA package (23×23 mm body). Core supply is a tight 0.97 V to 1.03 V rail; the device operates from 0°C to 85°C junction temperature. This is a current-production, active part — no end-of-life watch needed for a new BOM line.
I/O and package — board-level fit
The 484-FBGA footprint with 328 available I/O gives you a dense but routable BGA escape. The 23×23 mm body fits standard BGA land patterns; verify your PCB fab's minimum via and trace spacing for the inner rows. Surface-mount assembly with a tray-handling profile is the expected flow.
Supply rail and temperature grade
Core supply range is 0.97 V to 1.03 V. The commercial temperature range (0°C to 85°C junction) covers most indoor and telecom-rack environments.
