Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How to apply samples, datasheets and bulk price quotation?
A: Submit your requirements via our quick inquiry form, including quantity and expected lead time. Our sales team will send quotation and supporting documents quickly.
Q2: What do the individual suffix codes in “EP4CE10F17C8N” designate?
A: “EP4CE” identifies the Cyclone IV E low-power family, “10” indicates ~10K logic elements, “F17” specifies the 256-ball FBGA package (17 × 17 grid), “C8” represents commercial temperature range (0°C to +85°C) with speed grade 8, and “N” confirms lead-free RoHS-compliant construction.
Q3: What software tools are used to design and program the EP4CE10F17C8N?
A: The EP4CE10F17C8N is fully supported by Intel Quartus Prime (Lite Edition, Standard Edition, or Pro Edition). Designers can synthesize hardware using Verilog HDL or VHDL code and generate bitstream configuration files.
Q4: How does the EP4CE10F17C8N load its bitstream configuration file upon startup?
A: As an SRAM-based volatile FPGA, it automatically loads its configuration data upon power-up from an external non-volatile Serial Flash memory IC (such as EPCS16, EPCS64, or EPCQ series) via Active Serial (AS) mode, or from an external controller via JTAG or Passive Serial (PS) mode.
Q5: What power supply rails are required on the PCB to operate the device?
A: The device requires a core supply rail (VCCINT) of 1.2V, a phase-locked loop supply (VCCA) of 2.5V, and VCCIO rails (1.2V to 3.3V) configurable per bank according to system interface requirements.
Q6: Does EP4CE10F17C8N integrate high-speed serial transceivers?
A: It has no built-in high-speed serial transceivers. This chip cannot support PCIe and SATA interfaces, and is suitable for parallel signals and low-speed differential communication.
Q7: What are typical application scenarios of EP4CE10F17C8N?
A: It is widely used in industrial automation, display controllers, multi-channel communication interfaces, digital signal processing hardware and consumer embedded electronic equipment.
