EP1C4F324C6

The EP1C4F324C6 is a Cyclone® field-programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 324-BGA package, offering 4,000 logic elements and approximately 78 Kbits of embedded RAM. It is built on the Cyclone family architecture based on a 1.5‑V, 0.13‑μm, all‑layer copper SRAM process and targets cost‑sensitive data‑path and control applications that require moderate logic density, on‑chip memory, and flexible I/O.

Device-level specifications include a supply voltage range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V, support for surface‑mount 324‑FBGA (19×19) packaging, 249 user I/O pins, and commercial temperature grading (0 °C to 85 °C). The device is RoHS‑compliant.

Key Features

• Core Architecture  Cyclone family SRAM-based FPGA architecture; device density of 4,000 logic elements for data‑path and control logic integration.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 78 Kbits (78,336 bits) of on‑chip RAM to support buffers, FIFOs, and small on‑chip data structures.
• Clocking  Includes PLL resources consistent with the Cyclone family to support clock multiplication and phase shifting (family documentation references up to two PLLs for EP1C4 devices).
• I/O  249 user I/O pins provided in the 324‑BGA package to support parallel interfaces and board-level connectivity.
• Power  Core supply specified between 1.425 V and 1.575 V to match system power budgets and regulator designs.
• Package & Mounting  324‑BGA package (supplier device package: 324‑FBGA, 19×19) with surface‑mount assembly.
• Operating Range & Grade  Commercial grade operation from 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Compliance  RoHS‑compliant for lead‑free assembly requirements.

Typical Applications

• Data‑path processing  Use the device to implement moderate-density packet processing, signal steering, or custom datapath logic where on‑chip RAM and 4,000 logic elements meet throughput and buffering needs.
• Memory interface support  Suitable for designs requiring on‑chip logic to interface with external memory systems; the Cyclone family documentation highlights support for DDR SDRAM interfaces.
• High‑density I/O control  With 249 user I/O pins in a compact BGA footprint, the device is effective for multi‑lane parallel interfaces, sensor aggregation, and board‑level glue logic.
• Embedded control and prototyping  Well‑suited for control logic, peripheral bridging, and FPGA‑based prototyping tasks in commercial electronic systems.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced logic and memory  4,000 logic elements paired with ~78 Kbits of embedded RAM provide a compact platform for integrating control and moderate buffering on a single device.
• High I/O density in a compact package  249 user I/O pins in a 324‑FBGA (19×19) package reduce board routing complexity for multi‑signal interfaces.
• Low‑voltage core  Specified core supply range (1.425–1.575 V) enables predictable power provisioning and design integration with modern power rails.
• Commercial temperature and RoHS compliance  Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and RoHS‑compliant to support standard commercial product lifecycles and assembly processes.
• Family architecture continuity  Part of the Cyclone FPGA family, providing architecture and configuration characteristics consistent with family documentation for seamless design planning.
