Intel EP4CE22E22C8N - Cyclone® IV E Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC 79 608256 22320
1. Overview
The Intel EP4CE22E22C8N is a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) belonging to the Cyclone IV E series, designed for cost-sensitive, high-performance applications. Manufactured by Intel (formerly Altera), this device integrates 22,320 logic elements (LEs), 594 Kbits of embedded memory, and 66 embedded 18×18 multipliers, making it suitable for diverse industries, including communications, embedded systems, video processing, and industrial automation. With 154 programmable I/O pins supporting LVTTL, LVCMOS, and PCI standards, it offers flexible connectivity for system integration. Its low-power architecture (operating at 1.2 V core voltage) and 4 PLLs for clock management ensure energy efficiency while maintaining high performance.
