ALTEP4CE22F17I7N
Overview
The EP4CE22F17I7N is a member of the Intel (formerly Altera) Cyclone IV E FPGA family, optimized for low power consumption and high integration in industrial environments. It features 22,320 logic elements, 608,256 bits of total RAM, and 153 available I/O pins in a compact 256-LBGA package. This industrial-grade variant is rated for a wide junction temperature range of -40 to 100 degrees Celsius.
Why Choose This Part
This FPGA offers a balanced ratio of logic elements to RAM bits, allowing for complex state machines and significant data buffering. Its support for multiple differential I/O standards like LVDS and PPDS makes it highly versatile for high-bandwidth signaling. Additionally, the low core voltage of 1.15V to 1.25V helps minimize thermal dissipation in density-constrained designs.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Development is primarily performed using the Intel Quartus Prime Lite Edition software, which includes the necessary tools for synthesis and place-and-route. For hardware evaluation, the Terasic DE0-Nano is a popular development board that utilizes this specific Cyclone IV device. Engineers will need a USB-Blaster or compatible JTAG programmer to load configuration bitstreams into the FPGA or its external serial configuration device.
