EP1C3T100C8

The EP1C3T100C8 is a commercial-grade Cyclone® field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Intel. It provides a moderate-density, SRAM-based programmable fabric tailored for data-path and control applications that require on-chip memory and flexible I/O in a compact surface-mount package.

Built on the Cyclone family architecture, this device combines 2,910 logic elements with 59,904 bits of embedded RAM, a single PLL for clocking, and support for multiple I/O standards—making it suitable for cost-sensitive commercial designs that need configurable logic, on-chip memory and adaptable interfacing.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  2,910 logic elements provide programmable logic resources for custom datapath, control and glue-logic implementations.
• Embedded Memory  59,904 bits of on-chip RAM enable local data buffering, small FIFOs and state storage without external memory.
• Clocking  Includes 1 PLL to support clock multiplication and phase adjustment for single-clock or multi-clock domains.
• I/O and Standards Support  65 user I/O pins (package-dependent) with family-level support for common I/O standards, enabling flexible interfacing to external devices and peripherals.
• Power and Supply  Core supply range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V consistent with the Cyclone family’s 1.5-V process characteristics.
• Package and Mounting  Surface-mount 100-TQFP package (14×14 mm) for compact, board-level integration.
• Temperature and Grade  Commercial grade with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Environmental Compliance  RoHS compliant for use in designs requiring lead-free, restricted-substance conformance.

Typical Applications

• Data-Path Processing  Moderate-throughput signal and data-path tasks that benefit from on-chip RAM and programmable logic for buffering, alignment and custom arithmetic.
• Memory Interface Control  Controller and interface logic for onboard memories or peripherals, leveraging embedded RAM and PLL-based clocking.
• Custom Control and Glue Logic  Replacing discrete logic or ASIC prototypes with reprogrammable logic for board-level control, protocol conversion and system orchestration.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Integration: Combines 2,910 logic elements with 59,904 bits of embedded RAM to reduce the need for external logic and small external memory components.
• Compact Board Footprint: 100-TQFP (14×14) surface-mount package enables dense PCB placement while preserving a substantial number of I/Os for peripheral connections.
• Stable Core Supply Range: Narrow core voltage window (1.425 V–1.575 V) aligned with the Cyclone family process for predictable power behavior.
• Commercial Availability: Commercial-grade operating range (0 °C–85 °C) suitable for a wide range of business and consumer electronics applications.
• Standards and Ecosystem: Part of the Cyclone device family and documented in the Cyclone device handbook, facilitating device-level migration and design planning within the family.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance helps meet environmental and regulatory requirements for lead-free production.
