Logic density and I/O — sizing the fit
With 55856 logic elements and 3491 LABs/CLBs, this part lands in the mid-range of the Cyclone IV E family — enough for a soft-core processor plus peripheral logic, but not the largest die. The 324 I/O break out to a 484-BGA with a 23x23 mm footprint. That many I/O in that package means dense routing on the PCB; plan for at least a six-layer board to escape the BGA reliably.
Block RAM and memory budget
The 2396160 total RAM bits are split across M9K blocks. That is enough for a few packet buffers or a modest video line store.
Temperature grade and deployment envelope
Rated for 0°C to 85°C junction temperature. That is commercial grade — fine for office, lab, or factory-floor equipment with forced air.
