EP1C3T144C7N

The EP1C3T144C7N is a Cyclone® family FPGA from Intel, featuring 2,910 logic elements in a surface-mount 144-LQFP package. Designed for cost-sensitive data-path and interfacing applications, this device combines on-chip RAM, dedicated clock resources, and a compact pin count for flexible embedded system integration.

With approximately 59,904 bits of embedded memory and 104 user I/O pins, the device targets designs requiring moderate logic density, on-chip storage, and a low-voltage core supply in a commercial-temperature, RoHS-compliant package.

Key Features

• Logic Density  2,910 logic elements (LEs) suitable for moderate-complexity FPGA designs and custom logic implementation.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 59,904 bits of on-chip RAM to support data buffering, small FIFOs, and local storage.
• I/O Capacity  104 user I/O pins providing flexible peripheral interfacing in a 144-LQFP footprint.
• Clock and PLL  Device includes integrated phase-locked loop resources as defined for the Cyclone family to support clock multiplication and phase control; EP1C3 device-level PLL count is 1.
• Supply and Power  Core voltage supply range: 1.425 V to 1.575 V, matching the Cyclone family’s low-voltage SRAM process.
• Package & Mounting  144-LQFP (supplier device package listed as 144-TQFP 20×20); surface-mount package for PCB assembly.
• Operating Range  Commercial grade with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Standards & Family Capabilities  As part of the Cyclone family, the device supports the family-level I/O standards and memory interface options documented in the Cyclone device handbook (for example, LVDS and DDR SDRAM interfacing are supported at the family level).
• Regulatory  RoHS compliant for compliance with lead-free requirements.

Typical Applications

• Data-Path Processing  Moderate-density signal and data-path processing where integrated RAM and flexible logic are required.
• Memory Interface and Bridge  Interfaces to external memories and simple memory controllers using the Cyclone family’s documented external-memory support.
• Peripheral Glue Logic  Custom peripheral interfacing, protocol bridging, and glue logic using the device’s 104 programmable I/O pins.
• Embedded Control and Prototyping  Low-cost FPGA prototyping and embedded-control functions benefiting from a compact 144-LQFP package and commercial-temperature rating.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, Programmable Logic  2,910 logic elements provide a balance of capacity and board-level footprint for space-constrained designs.
• On-Chip Memory  Approximately 59,904 bits of embedded RAM reduce external memory dependency for many control and buffering tasks.
• Broad I/O Flexibility  104 user I/Os in a standard LQFP package enable a wide range of peripheral connections without forcing a larger package.
• Low-Voltage Core  1.425 V–1.575 V supply range aligns with the family’s low-voltage SRAM process, supporting modern low-voltage system architectures.
• Tooling and Migration Support  Part of the Cyclone family, enabling device migration and pin cross-referencing workflows described in the Cyclone device handbook and supported by the vendor’s design tools.
• RoHS Compliance  Lead-free, RoHS-compliant construction simplifies regulatory compliance for commercial products.
