Overview

The Intel (Altera) EP4CE22F17C8 is a Cyclone IV E family Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). It offers 22320 logic elements and 608256 total RAM bits, making it suitable for applications requiring moderate logic capacity and configurable I/O. This device operates from a 1.15V to 1.25V supply voltage.

Why Choose This Part

This FPGA provides a higher logic capacity within the familiar Cyclone IV E family, offering 22320 logic elements. It supports 153 I/O pins in a 256-FBGA (17x17) package, making it suitable for designs with a moderate number of external connections. The consistent architecture allows engineers already familiar with Cyclone IV E devices to scale up their designs with minimal retooling.

Applications

Custom Digital Logic Design
Implementing application-specific digital circuits, state machines, and interfaces that cannot be efficiently realized with standard microcontrollers.
Signal Processing
Accelerating algorithms for signal filtering, data manipulation, and real-time processing tasks due to its parallel architecture.
Peripheral Expansion
Creating custom peripheral interfaces or extending the I/O capabilities of existing systems, such as adding specialized communication protocols.
Prototyping and Emulation
Rapidly prototyping ASIC designs or emulating complex digital systems before committing to a full custom silicon implementation.
