What this Cyclone IV E FPGA delivers
The Intel EP4CE55F23I7N is a Cyclone IV E FPGA packing 55,856 logic elements and 324 user I/O in a 484-ball BGA. It carries 2,396,160 bits of embedded block RAM — enough for moderate FIFO buffers or small frame stores without tacking on external SRAM. The 1.15 V to 1.25 V core supply keeps dynamic power in check for mid-density designs.
Industrial temperature grade — what it means on the board
Rated for -40°C to 100°C junction temperature, this part fits outdoor telecom cabinets, motor-drive enclosures, and engine-bay electronics without needing a commercial-grade workaround. The 484-FBGA (23x23 mm) footprint demands careful thermal via planning under the die — the package itself doesn't spread heat the way a QFP does.
