Logic fabric and on-chip memory budget
The EP4CE6F17C7N: 6272 logic elements in a Cyclone IV E fabric — this is the LUT-and-register ceiling for the RTL. The 276480 total RAM bits are distributed across M9K blocks; each block is 9 Kbit true dual-port, so the usable memory count is 30 blocks (30 × 9216 = 276480). 179 user I/O on a 256-ball FBGA — the I/O ring is fully populated on this package. The 17×17 mm body with 1.0 mm ball pitch means a 4-layer PCB with microvias can fan out all I/O; a 2-layer board will route only the outer two ball rows cleanly.
Core supply tolerance is 1.15V to 1.25V — the 100 mV window demands a ±2% regulator at 1.2V nominal. Commercial temperature grade: 0°C to 85°C junction. This part is suited for indoor equipment, test gear, and telecom central-office environments. For outdoor or engine-bay deployment, the industrial-grade sibling EP4CE6F17I7N extends the range to -40°C to 100°C.
