EP4CE6E22C8N Alternatives and Equivalents
Intel (Altera) Cyclone IV · Intel · verified against manufacturer datasheet parameters
EP4CE6E22C8N — a Intel (Altera) Cyclone IV part from Intel — is one of the most-searched part numbers in its category. This page compares its verified pin-compatible variants and closest family alternates, using manufacturer datasheet parameters, and shows what is actually available from stock.
The table below distinguishes true drop-in replacements (same package and pinout) from family alternates that need design review. Specs marked "—" vary by suffix or were not published in the source data — confirm on the datasheet before committing.
This cross-reference is part of our guide to obsolete electronic components — These cross-references cover discontinued, EOL and allocation-constrained parts — the full risk framework is in our pillar guide.

Is the EP4CE6E22C8N discontinued?
EP4CE6E22C8N is part of the Cyclone IV E family — a mature Intel (Altera) FPGA line that has transitioned to limited/last-time-buy status for many ordering codes. Franchise availability is spotty; the open market carries significant stock for the installed base.
Pin-to-pin compatible alternatives
"Drop-in" means same package and pinout; other rows are family alternates that need design review.

EP4CE6E22C8N vs EP4CE6F17C6: what actually differs
Within the compared parameter set these codes match on the published specs; the differences live in suffix details — packing, temperature grade or flash/density options. Send both codes if you want us to confirm the delta on your specific requirement.
Migration checklist: re-validate before you swap
- Cyclone IV densities/packages are pin-compatible only within the same package and density class — verify against Intel's pinout files
- Speed grade changes (C8/C7/C6) affect timing closure
- Bitstreams are device-specific — density change means recompilation
- Check configuration device (EPCS) capacity for the alternate density
- Quartus version compatibility: archive the toolchain your design was built with
Where to source EP4CE6E22C8N and its alternates
We stock EP4CE6E22C8N and its family variants in Hong Kong with date codes stated on every quote. Each lot passes marking verification; X-ray and electrical testing through accredited partner labs are available on request, with the report delivered before final payment.
Pricing follows the live spot market, so quotes carry a stated validity window — typically 24 to 48 hours on volatile lines. Send your quantity and required date code and the desk replies within 2 working hours.
EP4CE6E22C8N can also ship consolidated with the rest of your BOM — one shipment, one invoice, one inspection standard. For recurring demand we reserve stock and schedule multi-lot releases, which smooths both price exposure and availability risk across your build calendar.

FAQ
Is EP4CE6E22C8N discontinued?
Many Cyclone IV ordering codes are in last-time-buy or limited status. Open-market stock now serves the installed base — verified and inspected.
Which alternates are pin-compatible?
Same package (e.g. E22 = EQFP144) and same density with different speed/temperature grades.
Does a density change require recompilation?
Yes — bitstreams are device-specific.
How are Cyclone parts verified?
Marking verification, X-ray on request, lab test available before payment.
Do you stock industrial (-I) grades?
Yes — suffix matched exactly.
What is the dispatch time?
1–3 working days from Hong Kong on stocked codes.
Can I see photos or test reports before ordering?
Yes — label and top-marking photos of the actual lot are standard, and X-ray or lab reports can be arranged before payment on first orders. Tell the desk what your incoming inspection requires.
Do you support scheduled production deliveries?
Yes. For recurring demand we reserve stock of EP4CE6E22C8N or its alternates and release shipments against your build schedule — one agreement instead of repeated spot buys.
