EP4CGX15BF14I7N

The EP4CGX15BF14I7N is a member of Intel’s (formerly Altera) Cyclone IV GX FPGA family. It features 15,408 logic elements (LEs), 504 Kbits of embedded memory, and 56 18x18 multipliers for DSP applications. The "GX" variant includes 3.125 Gbps transceivers, making it suitable for high-speed serial communication.
Built on a 60nm process, it offers a balance of power efficiency and performance. The FBGA-144 package (14x14mm) ensures compact integration, while its industrial-grade (-40°C to 100°C) rating supports harsh environments.
Key applications include embedded systems, motor control, video processing, and low-cost serial connectivity. It supports Nios II soft-core processors and interfaces like PCIe, Ethernet, and DDR2/3 memory.
For development, Intel’s Quartus II/Prime software is used. The FPGA is cost-effective, making it ideal for mid-range designs requiring transceivers without high-end features.
*Summary:*
- 15K LEs, 504 Kbits RAM, 56 multipliers
- 3.125 Gbps transceivers (4 channels)
- Industrial-grade, FBGA-144
- Low-cost serial comms & embedded processing
