ALTEP4CE6E22I7N
Overview
The EP4CE6E22I7N is an entry-level Cyclone IV E FPGA designed for low-cost, high-volume applications that require low power consumption and logic flexibility. It features 6,272 logic elements and 276,480 total RAM bits in a space-efficient 144-pin EQFP package with an exposed pad for improved thermal performance. This industrial-grade variant operates across a wide temperature range from -40C to 100C.
Why Choose This Part
This FPGA offers a balanced ratio of 6,272 logic elements to 270k bits of internal memory, making it ideal for memory-buffered data transfers. The 144-LQFP package is easy to assemble on 2-layer or 4-layer PCBs while providing 91 available I/O pins. Its low-power 1.2V core architecture minimizes thermal management requirements in compact enclosures.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Design entry is performed using Intel Quartus Prime Lite Edition software, which supports Verilog and VHDL synthesis. Hardware debugging is typically handled via the JTAG interface using a USB-Blaster II download cable. For rapid prototyping, look for dev boards featuring the Cyclone IV E and a 50 MHz oscillator.
