EP1C4F324I7

The EP1C4F324I7 is an industrial-grade Cyclone® Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) in a 324-ball fine-pitch BGA package. It integrates 4,000 logic elements and 78,336 bits of on-chip RAM within a compact 324-FBGA (19×19) footprint for space-constrained embedded designs.

Designed for data-path and control applications, this Cyclone device delivers a balance of logic capacity, embedded memory and I/O density—making it suitable for industrial automation, communications peripherals and general-purpose system control that require a robust operating temperature range and RoHS-compliant manufacturing.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 4,000 logic elements and 400 logic array blocks (LABs) to implement moderate-complexity logic, control and glue logic functions.
• On-chip Memory — 78,336 bits of embedded RAM for local buffering, FIFOs and small lookup tables.
• I/O Density — Up to 249 user I/O pins for rich peripheral interfacing and board-level connectivity.
• Package — 324-ball Fine-Pitch BGA (324-FBGA, 19×19) surface-mount package for compact board integration and high pin count in a small footprint.
• Supply Voltage — Core supply range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V to match controlled power domains and system rails.
• Industrial Temperature Range — Specified for −40 °C to 100 °C operation to meet demanding environmental conditions.
• PLL Clocking — Cyclone architecture supports up to two PLLs (series-level feature) for clock multiplication and phase control to support a variety of timing architectures.
• I/O Standards (series capability) — Cyclone family support for multiple I/O standards, including LVTTL, LVCMOS, SSTL and LVDS, enabling flexible interface options for system-level connectivity.
• Regulatory & Mounting — RoHS-compliant and designed for surface-mount assembly.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control — Implement motor control logic, I/O aggregation and deterministic control tasks within extended temperature environments.
• Communications Peripherals — Manage parallel and serial interfaces, protocol bridging and timing-critical packet handling using available PLLs and high I/O count.
• Embedded System Glue Logic — Offload interface conversion, address decoding and custom bus logic to consolidate discrete components and simplify PCB layouts.
• Memory Interface Management — Act as a logic layer between system controllers and external memory devices using supported Cyclone memory interfacing features.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory — 4,000 logic elements combined with 78,336 bits of RAM provide the right mix for control and mid-density data-path tasks without overprovisioning.
• High Pin Count in Small Footprint — 249 I/Os in a 324-FBGA (19×19) package enable dense connectivity while keeping board area low.
• Designed for Industrial Use — Specified operating range from −40 °C to 100 °C supports deployment in harsh or temperature-variable environments.
• Flexible Clocking — Up to two PLLs (series capability) allow designers to implement clock multiplication and phase alignment for complex timing requirements.
• Standards-Compatible I/O — Support for a range of I/O standards (series-level feature set) eases integration with common memory and interface devices.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets environmental compliance for lead-free manufacturing and assembly processes.
