ALTEP4CE10E22C8N
Overview
The EP4CE10E22C8N is a member of the Altera Cyclone IV E FPGA family, optimized for low power consumption and high logic density in a cost-effective 144-pin EQFP package. It features 10,320 logic elements and 423,936 bits of total RAM, making it suitable for high-volume, cost-sensitive digital signal processing and interface bridging applications. The device operates at a core voltage of 1.2V and provides 91 user I/O pins for flexible system connectivity.
Why Choose This Part
The Cyclone IV E architecture balances power efficiency with high logic capacity, supporting clock speeds up to 402 MHz for demanding tasks. The 144-EQFP package features an exposed pad for enhanced thermal performance while remaining accessible for standard SMT assembly processes. Integrated features like Schmitt trigger inputs and on-chip termination (OCT) simplify PCB signal integrity management and reduce external component count.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Development is performed using Intel Quartus Prime software, which supports design entry via VHDL, Verilog, or schematic capture. Hardware debugging and programming are typically handled through the JTAG interface using a USB-Blaster download cable. For prototyping, engineers often use Cyclone IV development kits to verify logic before committing to a custom PCB layout.
