What this Cyclone IV E FPGA delivers
The Intel EP4CE40F23I8L is a Cyclone® IV E FPGA with 39,600 logic elements and 328 user I/O, packed in a 484-ball FBGA (23x23 mm). It carries 1,161,216 bits of embedded RAM and 2,475 logic array blocks. Core supply runs from 0.97 V to 1.03 V. This is the industrial-temperature variant, rated for -40°C to 100°C junction — suitable for factory automation, motor drives, outdoor telecom, and other thermally demanding enclosures where a commercial-grade part would derate or fail.
Lifecycle and sourcing
The EP4CE40F23I8L carries an EOL-hot lifecycle stage, indicating that Intel has issued end-of-life notification. Production is winding down; last-time-buy windows may be closed or closing. The Cyclone 10 LP (10CL040YU484I7G) is a functional peer with similar density, I/O, and package, but it is not a pin-compatible or officially designated successor. For BOM continuity, the part is sourced to order through independent distribution against an RFQ.
