EP1C12F324C7

The EP1C12F324C7 is an Intel Cyclone® SRAM-based FPGA offering a balanced combination of programmable logic, on-chip memory, and a high I/O count in a compact ball-grid array. Designed for data-path and system-integration applications, this commercial-grade device targets designs that require moderate logic capacity, embedded memory, and flexible I/O connectivity.

Built on the Cyclone family architecture, the device provides determinable logic capacity, dedicated clocking resources, and support for common I/O standards to simplify interfacing with external memories and ASSP/ASIC components.

Key Features

• Programmable Logic Capacity 12,060 logic elements (LEs) deliver the device’s core programmable functionality for glue logic, control, and data-path functions.
• On‑chip Memory Approximately 0.24 Mbits of embedded memory (239,616 total RAM bits) for FIFOs, buffers, and small on-chip data storage.
• I/O and Interface Flexibility 249 user I/O pins support a variety of interface needs; Cyclone family devices support common standards including LVTTL, LVCMOS, SSTL-2, SSTL-3 and LVDS.
• Clocking Resources Dedicated PLL resources (2 PLLs for the EP1C12 device) enable clock multiplication and phase adjustment for synchronous designs.
• Package and Mounting 324-ball BGA in a 324-FBGA (19 × 19) footprint, surface-mount package suitable for compact PCBs and automated assembly.
• Power and Temperature Core voltage supply range 1.425 V to 1.575 V and commercial operating temperature from 0 °C to 85 °C to match typical industrial and embedded product environments.
• Compliance RoHS compliant material and assembly.

Typical Applications

• Memory Interface and Controller Implement DDR/SDR interface logic and memory controllers using the device’s on-chip RAM and clocking resources for buffering and timing adjustments.
• System Glue Logic Bridge and interface ASSP/ASIC components, multiplexing and protocol adaptation tasks using the available logic and abundant I/O.
• Data-Path Processing Handle moderate-throughput data-path functions—such as packet framing, buffering, and routing—leveraging embedded RAM and programmable logic.
• Embedded Control and Peripheral Management Centralize control logic, timers, and peripheral interfaces for embedded products that require flexible I/O and reprogrammability.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory: 12,060 logic elements combined with approximately 0.24 Mbits of on-chip RAM allow compact implementation of control and data buffering without external memories for many use cases.
• High I/O Count in a Compact Package: 249 user I/Os in a 324-FBGA (19 × 19) package enable dense connectivity while conserving board space.
• Flexible Clocking: Two on-device PLLs support clock multiplication and phase shifting to meet diverse synchronous timing requirements.
• Commercial Temperature Range: Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation, suitable for mainstream embedded and consumer applications.
• Standards Support: Cyclone family support for LVTTL, LVCMOS, SSTL-2/3 and LVDS I/O standards helps simplify interfacing with modern memory and communication components.
• RoHS Compliance: Material and assembly compliance supports environmentally conscious product design.
