Key Features

• Core Logic 12,060 logic elements provide mid-range programmable logic capacity for custom datapath and control functions.
• Embedded Memory Approximately 0.24 Mbits (239,616 bits) of on-chip RAM to support buffering, FIFOs, and small embedded storage.
• I/O Density and Standards 173 user I/O pins enable broad interfacing; Cyclone devices support LVTTL, LVCMOS, SSTL-2/SSTL-3 and LVDS I/O standards as described in the Cyclone family datasheet.
• Clocking Resources Family-level support for up to two PLLs provides clock multiplication and phase-shifting capabilities for system timing.
• Package & Mounting 240-BFQFP (240-PQFP, 32×32) surface-mount package for compact PCB integration and conventional assembly flows.
• Power Supply Core voltage specified at 1.425 V to 1.575 V for the device core domain.
• Temperature & Grade Commercial grade operation from 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Environmental Compliance RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High-speed data-path processing — Use the device’s logic and on-chip RAM to implement custom data handling, filtering, and packet processing functions.
• Memory interface controllers — Family-level support for DDR SDRAM and FCRAM interfaces makes the FPGA suitable for controller and buffering functions in memory subsystems.
• High-speed serial and parallel I/O — LVDS-capable I/O and broad I/O count enable board-level high-speed links and sensor interfaces.
• PCI and peripheral bridging — Cyclone family support for PCI standards enables integration as peripheral controllers or interface bridges.
• Custom IP integration — Support for multiple IP cores and megafunctions facilitates rapid integration of standard functions with custom logic.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced logic and memory density: 12,060 logic elements paired with approximately 0.24 Mbits of embedded RAM deliver a practical mix for many mid-range FPGA tasks.
• Flexible I/O options: 173 I/O pins and family-level support for multiple I/O standards enable diverse board-level interfaces without external translators.
• Integrated clocking: Up to two PLLs at the device-family level simplify clock-domain management and timing adjustments on-chip.
• Compact, surface-mount packaging: 240-BFQFP footprint supports conventional PCB assembly while providing substantial I/O count.
• Commercial-grade reliability and compliance: Specified for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and RoHS compliance for mainstream application deployment.
