EP4CE22E22I7 Cyclone IV E FPGA, Embedded system FPGA Overview
The EP4CE22E22I7 is a mid-range FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) from Intel (formerly Altera) under the Cyclone® IV E series, designed for cost-sensitive, low-power embedded applications. This device features 22,320 logic elements (LEs) and 594 Kbits of embedded memory, making it suitable for industrial control, consumer electronics, and communication systems. It operates at a core voltage of 1.2V and supports up to 200 MHz system performance, ensuring efficient power consumption while maintaining processing capability. The FPGA includes 153 user I/O pins with support for LVDS, LVCMOS, and PCI Express interfaces, providing flexibility for various digital signal processing (DSP) and interfacing needs.
One of the key strengths of the EP4CE22E22I7 is its low static and dynamic power consumption, making it ideal for battery-powered and energy-efficient applications. It integrates 135 embedded 18x18 multipliers, enabling high-speed arithmetic operations for motor control, image processing, and networking tasks. The device also supports external memory interfaces, including DDR, DDR2, and LPDDR, allowing seamless integration with external RAM for data-intensive applications. Additionally, it features on-chip PLLs (Phase-Locked Loops) for clock management, reducing the need for external clock generators.
The EP4CE22E22I7 is housed in a 144-pin EQFP package, offering a compact footprint for space-constrained designs. It is reprogrammable in-system, allowing for design updates without hardware changes, which is crucial for prototyping and field upgrades. The FPGA is supported by Intel’s Quartus® II design software, which provides a comprehensive development environment for synthesis, simulation, and debugging. Its industrial temperature range (-40°C to +100°C) ensures reliable operation in harsh environments, making it a preferred choice for automotive, medical, and industrial automation systems.
