EP4CE40F23C7N in Intel Cyclone & MAX 10 Family
The EP4CE40F23C7N belongs to the Intel (formerly Altera) Cyclone IV E series, a family designed for power-sensitive and cost-conscious digital logic applications. These FPGAs bridge the gap between simple CPLDs and high-performance Stratix devices, offering balanced logic density and I/O counts. Fabricated on a low-power 60nm process, they are widely utilized for system-level integration in industrial automation, communications bridging, and video processing where thermal management is a critical design constraint.
Variants in This Sub-Family
Variants within the EP4CE40 sub-family primarily differ based on the speed grade, temperature range, and package type. The '7' in the suffix denotes a standard speed grade, while '8' represents a slower, more power-efficient option. Designers can choose between commercial (C), industrial (I), and extended industrial (A) temperature ratings to meet specific environmental requirements of the end-product hardware.
