What is it?
The EP4CE15F23 FPGA Core Board is a breakout board based on the Altera EP4CE15F23 FPGA chip. It is pin-compatible with the original QMTECH EP4CE15 version, making it a drop-in replacement for retro computer projects and FPGA experiments that previously relied on the QMTECH board.
Why did you make it?
In early 2024, QMTECH discontinued their EP4CE15 FPGA core board, leaving many ongoing projects without a compatible hardware source. With QMTECH's permission, this board was redesigned from scratch as a 4-layer PCB to extend the life of those projects and keep the community moving forward.
What makes it special?
- QMTECH pin-compatible — drop-in replacement for existing EP4CE15-based designs and carrier boards
- Equal-length trace routing — all signal lines from the FPGA chip to the pin headers are length-matched for signal integrity
- 4-layer PCB design — improved power delivery and reduced noise compared to 2-layer alternatives
- Altera EP4CE15F23 — 15K logic elements, suitable for retro CPU cores, soft processors, and digital logic projects
- Community-driven — designed to keep existing open-source retro projects alive and accessible
