EP4CE15F23C8
Overview
The EP4CE15F23C8 is a member of the Intel (formerly Altera) Cyclone IV E family, designed for cost-sensitive, power-efficient digital logic applications. This FPGA provides 15,408 logic elements and 516,096 bits of total embedded RAM in a 484-pin FBGA package. It is optimized for lower-density designs that require high I/O counts, offering 343 user I/O pins for extensive connectivity.
Why Choose This Part
The EP4CE15F23C8 balances a relatively low logic density with an exceptionally high I/O-to-logic ratio, making it ideal for connectivity-heavy designs. Its low-power architecture operates on a core voltage of 1.15V to 1.25V, helping reduce thermal management requirements in dense enclosures.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Development is performed using the Intel Quartus Prime Design Software (Lite or Standard edition), which supports HDL entry via Verilog or VHDL. For hardware evaluation, engineers often use Cyclone IV E development kits or custom carrier boards with a JTAG header for programming and debugging via an Intel FPGA Download Cable (USB-Blaster).
