Active418 in stock

Overview

The EP4CE30F23C7N is a member of the Altera (Intel) Cyclone IV E series, offering 28,848 logic elements and 608,256 bits of internal RAM. This FPGA is designed for low-power applications that require high logic density and a large number of I/O pins, featuring 328 available I/O ports in a 484-BGA package. It operates on a 1.2V core voltage and provides a cost-effective solution for general-purpose digital logic integration.

Why Choose This Part

This device provides a high ratio of I/O to logic cells, making it ideal for connectivity-heavy designs. Its low power consumption of 8.5mA at 48MHz and 1.2V core voltage helps simplify thermal management in compact enclosures.

Applications

Industrial Protocol Conversion
Bridging multiple industrial communication standards that require custom timing and high I/O counts.
Video Processing Pipelines
Implementing custom image scaling, filtering, or display driving logic using the internal RAM for buffering.
Motor Control Algorithms
Executing complex, parallel control loops for multi-axis motor systems with dedicated hardware logic.
Legacy System Emulation
Replacing obsolete ASICs or discrete logic in existing hardware designs to extend product lifecycles.
