Logic fabric and memory — count the LUTs honestly
The EP4CE55F29C6: With 55,856 logic elements arranged into 3,491 LABs/CLBs, this Cyclone IV E device sits in the upper-mid range of the family — enough fabric for a soft-core processor, a video scaler, or a multi-channel serial bridge without pushing past 85% utilization. The 2,396,160 total RAM bits (roughly 2.3 Mbit) are distributed as M9K blocks, each 9 Kbit wide, giving 260 blocks for dual-port or FIFO use. At 374 user I/O in a 780-ball BGA, the pinout is dense enough to route a wide parallel bus alongside LVDS pairs.
Package and board-fit — 780-BGA footprint
The 780-FBGA (29×29 mm) body with 1.0 mm ball pitch is a standard four- or six-layer PCB target — no microvia or HDI required for fan-out. The supplier device package is 780-FBGA (29x29).
The junction range is the same as the operating range; no separate storage limit is listed, but standard JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity applies to the BGA package.
