EP1C12F324C6N

The EP1C12F324C6N is an Intel Cyclone® family FPGA offering reconfigurable logic optimized for cost-sensitive, data-path oriented designs. It provides approximately 12,060 logic elements and roughly 0.24 Mbits of embedded RAM, enabling mid-range system integration and on-chip buffering.

Built on the Cyclone architecture, this device targets commercial applications requiring flexible I/O, clocking resources, and low-voltage core operation. Key assets include a high I/O count, integrated PLLs for clock management, and a compact 324-ball BGA package.

Key Features

• Core Capacity  Approximately 12,060 logic elements for implementing medium-complexity control, glue-logic, and data-path functions.
• Embedded Memory  Total on-chip memory of 239,616 bits (approximately 0.24 Mbits) for FIFOs, small buffers, and state storage.
• I/O Density  Up to 249 available I/O pins to support dense external interfaces and board-level connectivity.
• Clocking Resources  Two PLLs (as provided in the Cyclone family) to support clock multiplication, phase shifting, and flexible timing architectures.
• Voltage and Power  Core supply range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V to match low-voltage system rails.
• Operating Range  Commercial operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Package and Mounting  324-ball fine-pitch BGA (324-FBGA, 19 × 19) in a surface-mount package for compact board integration.
• Standards Support (Family)  Cyclone family features include support for common I/O standards and high-speed LVDS interfaces, as well as support for common memory interfaces (as documented for the Cyclone series).
• Compliance and Grade  Commercial-grade device with RoHS compliance.

Typical Applications

• High-speed data-path logic  Mid-density logic and embedded RAM are well-suited for data aggregation, packet buffering, and on-board packet processing tasks.
• Memory interface controllers  Use as the programmable interface between system logic and external memory subsystems, leveraging the Cyclone family’s memory interface support.
• I/O bridging and protocol adaptation  High I/O count enables protocol conversion, bus bridging, and glue-logic roles between disparate system peripherals.
• Consumer and commercial electronics  Compact BGA package and commercial-grade temperature range make it suitable for consumer and general commercial embedded applications requiring reconfigurable logic.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced logic and memory resources  Combines roughly 12,060 logic elements with approximately 0.24 Mbits of on-chip RAM to implement mixed control and buffering functions without large external FPGA footprints.
• High I/O flexibility  Up to 249 I/O pins provide the routing headroom necessary for multi-interface designs and board-level consolidation.
• Integrated clock management  Two PLLs give designers the ability to generate and phase-shift clocks on-chip, simplifying timing architectures.
• Compact surface-mount package  The 324-FBGA (19 × 19) package supports space-constrained PCB layouts while maintaining power and signal integrity considerations for mid-density devices.
• Commercial-grade reliability with RoHS compliance  Designed for commercial applications and manufactured to meet RoHS environmental requirements.
• Vendor ecosystem  Part of the Cyclone family from Intel, offering documented architecture and toolchain support referenced in the Cyclone device handbook.
