Cyclone IV FPGA

\n\n

Cyclone IV FPGAs are Intel’s low-power, low-cost programmable-logic family, offered in E and GX variants. The E devices target general-purpose logic, while the GX devices add integrated 3.125 Gbps transceivers. They are widely used for cost-sensitive industrial, communications and embedded applications where a small, efficient FPGA fabric is sufficient.

Key Features

\n

  • Low 1.0 V to 1.2 V core power for energy-sensitive designs
  • Two variants: Cyclone IV E (logic) and GX (transceivers)
  • Up to 114,480 logic elements and 3,888 Kb of embedded memory
  • Up to 3.125 Gbps transceivers on GX devices
  • Available in FBGA, UBGA and EQFP packages
  • Commercial and industrial temperature grades

Packages, Temperature & Applications

\n

Cyclone IV parts are supplied in a wide range of packages, from small 144-pin EQFP to 780-pin FBGA, across 0\u00b0C to +85\u00b0C commercial and -40\u00b0C to +100\u00b0C industrial ranges. Typical applications include industrial automation, interface bridging, motor control, video processing and communications infrastructure.

Selection Notes

\n

Choose the E variant for general logic and the GX variant when you need integrated transceivers. Match the logic-element count and package to your design, and confirm the speed grade and temperature range. Non-BGA packages such as EQFP ease prototyping and inspection.

Design Considerations

\n

The Cyclone IV E is best for general logic and interfacing, while the GX adds transceivers for serial connectivity. Consider the EQFP packages when you need easier routing and inspection, and the FBGA packages when pin count and density are the priority. Verify the speed grade and temperature range against your operating environment before finalising the part number.

Why Choose This Series

\n

Cyclone IV remains a dependable, mature FPGA family with wide tool support and proven long-term availability, which makes it a low-risk choice for both new designs and sustaining existing products. Its low power and broad package range suit everything from simple interface glue to mid-density signal-processing logic, and the extensive installed base means reference material and IP are easy to find.
