EP1C12F324C8

The EP1C12F324C8 is a Cyclone® series field programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 324-ball BGA package designed for commercial applications. It delivers a balance of programmable logic, embedded memory, and flexible I/O capability suitable for data-path and interface-focused designs.

Built on the Cyclone device architecture, this device targets designers who need mid-range logic density with integrated memory, clocking resources, and multiple I/O standards to support system-level interfacing and peripheral connectivity.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  Approximately 12,060 logic elements provide the programmable fabric to implement mid-range logic, control, and datapath functions.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 0.24 Mbits of on-chip RAM (239,616 total RAM bits) for FIFOs, buffering, and local data storage.
• I/O Count and Standards  249 user I/Os with family-level support for LVTTL, LVCMOS, SSTL-2, SSTL-3 and LVDS I/O standards, enabling interface flexibility for diverse peripherals and memory.
• Clocking  Family documentation indicates up to two PLLs for clock multiplication and phase shifting to support multiple clock domains and timing management.
• Voltage and Thermal  Core supply range 1.425 V to 1.575 V; commercial operating temperature range 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Package & Mounting  324-FBGA (19 × 19 mm) surface-mount package (324-BGA case) for compact board integration.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant; commercial-grade device classification.

Typical Applications

• Data-path and Bridge Logic  Implement mid-density datapath processing, protocol bridging, and glue logic where integrated memory and flexible I/O simplify board design.
• Memory Interface Control  Supports external memory interfacing scenarios referenced by the Cyclone family, including DDR SDRAM and other synchronous memory types for buffering and system memory control.
• High-speed Serial and Parallel I/O  Use LVDS-capable I/O and standard parallel interfaces to connect high-speed sensors, serializers/deserializers, or peripheral buses.
• Clock Domain Management  On-chip PLLs enable multi-clock designs requiring clock multiplication, phase shifting, or clock distribution across logic blocks.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory  Combines roughly 12k logic elements with ~0.24 Mbits of embedded RAM to support control-intensive and data-buffering functions in a single device.
• Flexible I/O Support  High I/O count and support for multiple I/O standards let you interface to a wide range of peripherals and memory technologies without external translators.
• Integrated Clocking  On-chip PLL resources help manage multiple clock domains and simplify timing closure for system designs.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package  324-FBGA (19 × 19 mm) package allows dense board designs while keeping a high I/O count accessible.
• Commercial-Grade Operating Range  Specification for 0 °C to 85 °C operation aligns with general-purpose commercial applications.
• RoHS Compliant  Meets RoHS requirements for use in regulated assemblies.
