EP4CE15F17C8 in Intel Cyclone & MAX 10 Family
The EP4CE15F17C8 belongs to the Intel Cyclone IV E series, a family of field-programmable gate arrays designed for low-power, cost-sensitive applications. Manufactured by Intel (formerly Altera), these FPGAs utilize a 60nm process technology to balance power efficiency and performance. With 15,408 logic elements and integrated 6.336-bit embedded memory blocks, the family provides a scalable solution for engineers requiring more logic density than entry-level CPLDs while maintaining a small form factor and simplified power management requirements.
Variants in This Sub-Family
Variants within the EP4CE15 family differ primarily based on packaging, I/O count, and speed grade. The 'F17' designation indicates a FineLine BGA package with a specific ball count, while the 'C8' suffix denotes a commercial temperature range and the specific speed grade. Some variants may offer extended industrial temperature support or lead-free RoHS compliant packaging, allowing engineers to select the specific footprint and thermal performance required for their PCB constraints.
