EP4CE6F17C8N in Intel Cyclone & MAX 10 Family
The EP4CE6F17C8N belongs to the Intel (formerly Altera) Cyclone IV E series, a market-leading family of low-power, cost-optimized FPGAs. Designed on a 60nm process, these devices balance power efficiency with high logic density. They are primarily utilized in cost-sensitive applications where engineers require flexible I/O expansion, signal processing capabilities, and a reliable hardware platform for bridging protocols or managing complex timing requirements in industrial and consumer electronics.
Variants in This Sub-Family
Variants within this sub-family primarily differ based on logic element density, available embedded memory, and packaging options. The 'C8' suffix specifically denotes a commercial temperature grade with a specific speed grade; other variants may offer industrial-grade temperature ranges ('I') or faster timing closure capabilities ('C6', 'C7'). Package sizes vary to accommodate different I/O counts, ranging from compact EQFPs to high-density FBGA footprints.
