EP1C3T144C8NGA

The EP1C3T144C8NGA is a Cyclone® family FPGA from Intel, offering 2,910 logic elements and approximately 59,904 bits of embedded RAM in a 144‑pin LQFP surface‑mount package. Designed for data‑path and general embedded logic applications, this commercial‑grade device provides a compact, low‑voltage programmable fabric for system designers.

With a dedicated clocking resource and support for common memory interfaces in the Cyclone family, the device targets applications that require flexible I/O, on‑chip memory, and scalable logic integration within a standard commercial operating temperature range.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  2,910 logic elements for implementing combinational and sequential logic functions in a compact FPGA.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 59,904 bits of on‑chip RAM to support FIFOs, small buffers, and local storage.
• I/O Density  Up to 104 user I/O pins to interface with external devices and peripherals.
• Clocking  Includes on‑device phase‑locked loop (PLL) resources consistent with the EP1C3 Cyclone device to assist with clock multiplication and phase shifting.
• Power  Nominal core supply range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V to match system power budgeting and regulator choices.
• Package & Mounting  144‑pin LQFP (supplier package listed as 144‑TQFP 20×20) in a surface‑mount format for PCB assembly.
• Operating Range  Commercial temperature rating: 0 °C to 85 °C for typical commercial applications.
• Compliance  RoHS‑compliant manufacturing status.

Typical Applications

• Data‑path acceleration  Implement packet processing, simple datapath logic, and custom protocol handling using the device's logic elements and on‑chip RAM.
• Memory interface support  Use with external memory systems (DDR/SDR types referenced in Cyclone family documentation) relying on on‑chip logic and available clocking resources.
• High‑speed I/O bridging  Integrate LVDS and other supported I/O standards for interfacing between ASSPs/ASICs and system peripherals.
• Embedded control and prototyping  Compact FPGA in LQFP packaging well suited for board‑level prototypes and embedded control tasks in commercial products.

Unique Advantages

• Compact integration: 2,910 logic elements and embedded RAM reduce the need for discrete glue logic and small external memory devices.
• Flexible I/O: 104 user I/O pins provide versatility for mixed signal interfaces and peripheral connectivity on a single device.
• Deterministic clock resources: On‑chip PLL support enables localized clock management for timing‑sensitive designs.
• Industry‑standard packaging: 144‑pin LQFP surface‑mount package simplifies PCB layout and assembly for commercial designs.
• Regulatory readiness: RoHS compliance supports environmentally conscious product builds and supply chain requirements.
