75k-LE FPGA in a 780-ball BGA — what it means for your board
The Intel EP4CE75F29C8N is a Cyclone IV E FPGA packing 75408 logic elements and 426 user I/O in a 780-ball FBGA footprint. It sits in the middle of the Cyclone IV E density range — enough fabric for a modest soft-core processor, video scaler, or multi-axis motor control loop, but without the power and cost of the high-end Cyclone IV GX transceiver parts. The 2810880 bits of embedded RAM handle line buffers or small packet FIFOs, reducing external SRAM count on the BOM.
Active lifecycle — no LTB pressure for production runs
The EP4CE75F29C8N carries an active lifecycle status. That means Intel continues to manufacture it, no last-time-buy window is open, and you can qualify it into new designs without worrying about a near-term EOL notice. For BOM planning, this part is a safe anchor for a multi-year production program.
