What this FPGA brings to the board
The Intel EP4CE55F23C8 is a Cyclone® IV E FPGA delivering 55,856 logic elements and 2,396,160 bits of embedded block RAM in a 484-ball BGA package. With 324 user I/O, it targets mid-density glue logic, motor-control interface aggregation, and sensor-fusion pre-processing where a soft-core processor or custom datapath replaces a separate MCU.
Package and I/O – board integration
The 484-BGA (23x23 mm) with 324 I/O demands a four-layer PCB minimum for fanout – six layers if you route the full I/O count. Surface-mount only; no socketed prototyping – plan for a production reflow profile.
Intel lists the EP4CE55F23C8 as Active.
