Cyclone IV E vs Cyclone V

The Intel Cyclone IV E and Intel Cyclone V families side by side, from the 81 devices and 503 orderable parts in our catalogue.

Key differences

  • Cyclone IV E spans 6,272 to 114,480 logic elements; Cyclone V spans 25,000 to 301,000 logic elements. The largest Cyclone V has 2.6× the logic of the largest Cyclone IV E.
  • Block RAM: up to 3,888 Kb on Cyclone IV E, 13,917 Kb on Cyclone V.
  • Packages: 144 to 780 pins on Cyclone IV E, 256 to 1,152 pins on Cyclone V.
  • Neither is a drop-in replacement for the other: package, pinout and configuration differ, so a change of family needs engineering review.
