EP1C4F324C8N

The EP1C4F324C8N is a Cyclone® family field programmable gate array (FPGA) optimized for data-path and embedded logic applications. It integrates approximately 4,000 logic elements and about 78 Kbits of on-chip RAM in a compact 324-ball FBGA package for space-constrained board designs.

Built on the Cyclone architecture and intended for commercial applications, this device provides a combination of programmable logic density, a high I/O count, and low-voltage operation to support memory interfaces, peripheral bridging, and custom digital functions.

Key Features

• Core Logic  Approximately 4,000 logic elements suitable for mid-density programmable logic and control tasks.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 78,336 bits of on-chip RAM to implement FIFOs, buffers, and small data stores without external memory.
• I/O Capacity  249 user I/O pins to support dense peripheral and memory interfaces on a single device.
• Package & Mounting  324-ball FBGA (19 × 19) package, surface-mount mounting for compact PCB integration.
• Power  Nominal low-voltage supply range 1.425 V to 1.575 V, consistent with Cyclone family 1.5-V process operation.
• Temperature & Grade  Commercial temperature range 0 °C to 85 °C; suitable for general-purpose commercial applications.
• Compliance  RoHS-compliant construction to meet lead-free assembly and environmental requirements.
• Cyclone Family Capabilities  Implements Cyclone architecture features such as PLL support and memory-interface capabilities as defined for the family series.

Typical Applications

• Data-Path Processing  Mid-density programmable logic for custom data processing, protocol handling, and signal routing tasks.
• Memory Interface Support  Ideal for designs requiring on-chip RAM and Cyclone family memory-interface features to support external DDR or fast-cycle memory connections.
• High-Density I/O  Use in systems that require numerous GPIO or parallel interfaces—such as peripheral bridging, sensor aggregation, or control front-ends.
• Embedded Control  Implement control logic, glue-logic, or custom sequencers where a compact BGA package and surface-mount assembly are preferred.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory: Combines roughly 4,000 logic elements with approximately 78 Kbits of RAM to support common mid-range FPGA functions without excessive external memory.
• High I/O Density: 249 user I/Os enable consolidation of multiple interfaces and peripherals onto a single IC, reducing board-level complexity.
• Compact, Surface-Mount BGA: 324-ball FBGA (19 × 19) package provides a space-efficient solution for tightly packed PCBs and modern form-factor requirements.
• Low-Voltage Operation: 1.425 V to 1.575 V supply range supports low-voltage system architectures while aligning with Cyclone family process characteristics.
• RoHS-Compliant: Manufactured to meet RoHS requirements for lead-free assembly and environmental compliance.
• Vertical Migration Within Family: Compatibility with Cyclone family migration practices facilitates design scaling across densities and package options.

Why Choose EP1C4F324C8N?

The EP1C4F324C8N positions itself as a practical mid-density Cyclone FPGA option for commercial embedded designs that need a balance of logic capacity, embedded memory, and high I/O count in a compact FBGA footprint. Its low-voltage operation and RoHS-compliant package make it suitable for modern board-level integration where space and regulatory compliance matter.

This device is a good fit for engineers building data-path logic, memory interface controllers, peripheral bridges, and custom control or signal-processing functions who require predictable, documented Cyclone family behavior and migration pathways to other family densities.
