Overview

The EP4CE22E22I8LN is a low-power Altera Cyclone IV E FPGA featuring 22,320 logic elements and 594 Kbits of embedded memory. It is designed to minimize power consumption while providing high-performance processing capabilities for cost-sensitive applications. This specific variant operates in the industrial temperature range and utilizes a low-voltage core for improved thermal efficiency.

Why Choose This Part

The Cyclone IV E architecture offers an excellent balance between low power and high logic density, making it suitable for battery-powered or fanless designs. It provides flexible I/O support for multiple standards and includes integrated PLLs for complex clock management tasks.

Applications

Industrial Protocol Conversion
Bridging between different industrial communication standards such as EtherCAT, Profinet, or legacy serial protocols.
Video Image Processing
Implementing real-time hardware acceleration for scaling, color space conversion, and filtering in small-scale displays.
Motor Control Algorithms
Executing high-speed parallel processing tasks for multi-axis motor control and sensor fusion in robotics.

Getting Started

Design and development are managed through the Intel Quartus Prime Lite Edition software, which supports VHDL and Verilog entry. For hardware evaluation, engineers typically use Cyclone IV development kits such as the Terasic DE0-Nano or similar EP4CE22-based core boards.
