EP4CE6F23C8N in Intel Cyclone & MAX 10 Family
The EP4CE6F23C8N is part of the Intel (formerly Altera) Cyclone IV E series, an FPGA family engineered for low-cost, low-power applications where high logic density and multiple transceivers are not the primary drivers. Built on a 60nm process, these devices provide an optimal balance of energy efficiency and performance. They are frequently utilized in high-volume, cost-sensitive embedded designs that require programmable logic flexibility and robust I/O capabilities without the overhead of high-end SoC architectures.
Variants within the EP4CE6 family primarily differ in their package types, speed grades, and temperature ratings. While the EP4CE6F23C8N utilizes a 484-FBGA footprint, other variants may offer smaller form factors or different lead-free options. The speed grade (indicated by '8') determines the maximum operating frequency and timing margins, while temperature suffixes distinguish between commercial, industrial, and extended operating environments required for harsh industrial settings.
