It delivers 6272 logic elements and 179 user I/O, backed by 276480 bits of embedded RAM. This is the entry-density tier of the Cyclone IV E family — sized for cost-sensitive bridging, display control, motor-interface logic, and sensor aggregation where you need reconfigurable logic but not a high-gate-count fabric. The 0.97 V to 1.03 V core supply and 0°C to 85°C commercial temperature range target indoor, thermally managed environments like industrial control panels, test equipment, and communications line cards.
6272 logic elements (LEs) set the gate-count ceiling. For a design that needs a few hundred flip-flops and some combinatorial glue, this is comfortable; for a full soft-core processor with peripherals, you will run out of fabric quickly. The 276480 total RAM bits are distributed across the M9K blocks; enough for small FIFOs or line buffers, not enough for a full frame store.
