EP4CE22F17C8N - 22,320-Cell Cyclone IV E FPGA | Altera
Altera EP4CE22F17C8N is a Cyclone IV E field-programmable gate array with 22,320 logic elements, 153 I/O pins, and a maximum operating frequency of 472.5 MHz in a 256-pin fine-pitch ball grid array package. The device operates from a 1.15 V to 1.25 V core supply and provides 608,256 bits of embedded memory together with 1,395 memory blocks. Its combination of programmable logic, substantial I/O availability, and a 256-BGA package makes it suitable for embedded control, communications, industrial automation, and signal-processing systems requiring dense parallel interfaces.
A field-programmable gate array, or FPGA, is a semiconductor device whose digital logic and interconnections are configured after manufacture. FPGAs occupy the programmable-logic portion of the broader semiconductor hierarchy and combine LUT-based combinational logic, flip-flop resources, block RAM, and programmable I/O in one integrated circuit. Unlike a fixed-function application-specific integrated circuit, an FPGA can support multiple protocols and control functions through configuration software while accelerating hardware-level parallel processing.
The EP4CE22F17C8N provides 22,320 logic elements for datapath and control implementation, along with 153 I/O pins for external connectivity. Its 608,256 bits of embedded memory and 1,395 memory blocks support buffering, packet storage, lookup structures, and other moderate on-chip data-storage requirements. The stated maximum frequency of 472.5 MHz establishes the headline performance figure for this ordering variant, although practical timing closure depends on the selected Quartus Prime design, device speed grade, I/O standard, and board-level constraints.
Cyclone IV E devices use a programmable-logic architecture that can implement parallel datapaths, control logic, interfaces, and state machines in one device. The F17 package designation identifies the 256-pin package configuration used by this ordering code. Its 1.15 V to 1.25 V operating-voltage range places the part in the low-voltage core-supply class used by the Cyclone IV E generation, while its 153 I/O pins permit extensive communication among processors, memory devices, sensors, converters, and industrial equipment.
Typical applications include industrial automation controllers, motor-control and power-conversion systems, communication equipment, test and measurement platforms, embedded vision preprocessors, and general-purpose embedded control. The 153 I/O count is especially useful when a design must connect multiple buses, status signals, high-speed serial transceiver lanes, external memory interfaces, or discrete control signals. A single FPGA can consolidate functions that otherwise require several programmable logic devices, provided the design remains within the device's logic, memory, timing, and I/O budgets.
Design planning should begin with the Quartus Prime compilation results for the exact speed grade and package. Assign pin locations from the device pinout, confirm every external I/O voltage against the selected bank supply, and review timing reports before releasing the PCB. Power sequencing, decoupling, clock jitter, and signal-integrity margins require board-level review, especially when the design connects high-speed interfaces to external memories or transceivers.
This product page consolidates the verified device identity, package, logic, memory, I/O, voltage, and frequency attributes with practical application guidance, replacement analysis, and engineering design notes. It is intended to help engineers evaluate the EP4CE22F17C8N for a specific Cyclone IV E design before completing pin assignment, timing closure, compliance review, and production sourcing.
