ALTEP4CE40F23C7N
Overview
The EP4CE40F23C7N is a member of Altera's Cyclone IV E series, offering a balanced architecture for high-volume, cost-sensitive applications. This FPGA features 39,600 logic elements and over 1.1 Mbits of embedded RAM, providing significant processing power for mid-range digital signal processing and logic integration. It operates on a core voltage of 1.15V to 1.25V and includes 328 available I/O pins in a 484-FBGA package.
Why Choose This Part
The Cyclone IV E architecture is optimized for the lowest power consumption in its class, reducing thermal management requirements. With 2,475 Logic Array Blocks (LABs) and a max clock frequency of 402 MHz, it provides a flexible platform for hardware acceleration. The high I/O count of 328 pins enables extensive system connectivity in a relatively compact 23x23mm footprint.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Development for this device is performed using Intel Quartus Prime Design Software, which supports HDL synthesis, timing analysis, and simulation. Engineers typically use the USB-Blaster II download cable for JTAG programming and debugging. Evaluation can be streamlined using Cyclone IV E development kits which provide breakout headers for the 484-BGA pins and integrated power circuitry.
