What this Cyclone IV E FPGA brings to the board
The Intel EP4CE6F17I8LN is a Cyclone® IV E FPGA with 6272 logic elements and 276480 RAM bits in a 256-FBGA package. It provides 179 user I/O on a 17x17 mm footprint.
Active lifecycle — no LTB clock ticking
The EP4CE6F17I8LN is listed as Active. No last-time-buy notice, no NRND flag. That means you can qualify it into a new design today without worrying about a surprise EOL next quarter. For production BOMs, the active status also means the factory channel is open — we source through independent distribution and quote against an RFQ with current pricing confirmed at quote time.
Where the I/O count and logic cells land you
With 6272 logic elements and 179 I/O, this part fits between the smallest Cyclone IV E and the EP4CE10U14I7N which has 10320 logic elements and 423936 RAM bits.
