Cyclone IV E FPGA — 6272 LEs in a 256-ball BGA
The EP4CE6F17C7 is an Intel Cyclone® IV E FPGA offering 6272 logic elements in a 256-ball Fine-pitch Ball Grid Array (FBGA) measuring 17x17 mm. With 179 user I/O and 276480 bits of embedded RAM, it targets cost-sensitive logic integration in the low-density FPGA space.
I/O count and package — what the 256-FBGA means for layout
179 I/O are available in the 256-FBGA package — the ball pitch is 1.0 mm, which routes comfortably on a 4-layer board without microvias. The 17x17 mm body fits into the same footprint as other Cyclone IV E 256-ball parts, so a board designed for the EP4CE6F17C7 can also accept the EP4CE6F17C8N or EP4CE6F17C6N without a layout change.
Supply voltage and temperature grade — commercial range
If the end equipment sees ambient below freezing, step up to the I-grade suffix.
