Overview

The EP4CE115F29C8 is a high-density Cyclone IV E FPGA featuring 114,480 logic elements and 3.9 Mbits of embedded memory. It is designed for applications requiring significant logic resources and high I/O counts while maintaining a low-power, cost-optimized profile. This part provides a massive 528 user I/O pins in a 780-FBGA package to support complex system-on-chip designs.

Why Choose This Part

This FPGA offers 114,480 logic elements and 7,155 LABs, providing a substantial scaling path for designs that have outgrown smaller Cyclone IV devices. With 528 I/O pins and nearly 4 Mbits of RAM, it can handle complex parallel data processing and large memory buffers without external components.

Applications

Industrial Ethernet Switch
Utilizing the massive logic resources and 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet support for multi-port industrial networking.
Video Image Processing
Processing high-bandwidth video streams and driving large displays using the high I/O count and abundant RAM bits.
Protocol Bridging
Acting as a high-speed interface bridge between PCIe, CAN, and proprietary serial interfaces like SPI and UART.
Motor Control Systems
Implementing complex multi-axis motor control algorithms with low-latency hardware logic.
