EP1C4F324C6N

The EP1C4F324C6N is a Cyclone® family FPGA in a 324-ball BGA package designed for mid-range logic integration and on-chip memory. It implements the Cyclone architecture and provides 4,000 logic elements with 78,336 bits of embedded RAM, making it suitable for data-path functions, protocol bridging, and memory interface tasks in commercial products.

This surface-mount device operates from a nominal 1.5 V supply range (1.425 V to 1.575 V), is RoHS compliant, and is specified for commercial temperature operation (0 °C to 85 °C).

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 4,000 logic elements for medium-density programmable logic and control functions.
• On-chip Memory — 78,336 bits of embedded RAM to support buffering, FIFOs, and small data storage needs.
• I/O Resources — 249 user I/O pins to interface with external devices and peripherals in a compact package.
• Clocking — Cyclone family architecture provides up to two PLLs for clock multiplication and phase shifting (family feature).
• Process and Configuration — Based on the Cyclone family 1.5-V, 0.13-µm SRAM process and supports standard Cyclone configuration and testing flows (family feature).
• Package and Mounting — 324-ball FineLine BGA (324-FBGA, 19×19) in a 324-BGA package, designed for surface-mount assembly.
• Power — Supply voltage range 1.425 V to 1.575 V for device core operation.
• Operating Conditions — Commercial grade, operating temperature 0 °C to 85 °C; RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Data-path processing — Implement mid-range packet processing, protocol handling, and customized logic pipelines using 4,000 logic elements and embedded RAM.
• Memory interface bridging — Support DDR/SDRAM interface designs and buffering tasks using the Cyclone family’s memory interface features.
• High-speed I/O and serialization — Use the device’s I/O count to implement LVDS-capable links and multi-channel interfaces for communication and sensor aggregation (family I/O standards supported).
• Embedded control in commercial electronics — Integrate control, timing, and peripheral management functions in compact consumer or commercial equipment using the 324-BGA package.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced mid-range capacity: 4,000 logic elements and 78,336 bits of RAM provide a compact solution for designs that need more capability than small CPLDs but do not require the highest-density FPGAs.
• Flexible I/O count: 249 user I/O pins enable broad peripheral connectivity while keeping board area compact with a 19×19 FBGA footprint.
• Onboard clocking resources: Family-level support for up to two PLLs allows clock domain management, frequency synthesis, and phase control for complex timing requirements.
• Commercial temperature and RoHS compliance: Specified for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and RoHS compliant for mainstream commercial product deployments.
• Proven Cyclone ecosystem: Built on the Cyclone family architecture and tooling, enabling pin migration and design portability across Cyclone devices (Quartus II support for pin cross-referencing and migration noted in family documentation).
