EP1C4F400C6N

The EP1C4F400C6N is an Intel Cyclone® family field-programmable gate array (FPGA) device offering 4,000 logic elements and approximately 78,336 bits of embedded RAM. It is designed for commercial applications that require dense logic, sizable on-chip memory, and a high I/O count in a compact surface-mount BGA package.

Built on the Cyclone family architecture, this device supports common high-performance I/O standards and clocking structures typical of Cyclone devices, making it suitable for data-path functions, memory interfacing, and protocol bridging in space-constrained systems.

Key Features

• Core Logic  Approximately 4,000 logic elements provide the programmable fabric for implementing custom logic, state machines, and datapaths.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 78,336 bits of on-chip RAM to support FIFOs, buffers, and small memory structures without external devices.
• I/O Density  Up to 301 user I/O pins enable wide parallel buses and multiple peripheral interfaces for system integration.
• Clocking  Cyclone-family devices include integrated PLL resources for clock multiplication and phase adjustment; EP1C4 devices provide dedicated clock resources consistent with Cyclone architecture.
• Package & Mounting  Delivered in a 400-ball FBGA (21 × 21) / 400-BGA package for surface-mount assembly, optimizing board area for compact designs.
• Power  Specified core supply range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V to match Cyclone device power requirements.
• Operating Range  Commercial-grade operation from 0 °C to 85 °C for mainstream embedded and consumer applications.
• Compliance  RoHS-compliant material construction to meet environmental regulations for electronic assemblies.

Typical Applications

• Data-Path Processing  Implement custom data transformation and packet-handling logic using the device’s logic elements and embedded memory.
• Memory Interface Controllers  Support controllers and interfaces for external DDR and FCRAM memory types using on-chip clocking and I/O resources.
• Interface Bridging  Bridge between ASSP/ASICs and system peripherals with flexible I/O and programmable logic for protocol adaptation.
• High-Speed Serial/Parallel I/O  Use the available I/O count and Cyclone-family I/O standard support to implement LVDS or parallel link endpoints and receivers.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory:  4,000 logic elements paired with ~78,336 bits of embedded RAM allows integrated implementation of both control and buffering functions.
• High I/O Capacity:  301 I/O pins provide flexibility for broad bus widths, multiple peripheral interfaces, and mixed-signal front-end connections.
• Compact System Footprint:  400-FBGA (21 × 21) package enables high integration density on space-constrained PCBs.
• Commercial-Grade Robustness:  Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and RoHS compliance for reliable performance in mainstream environments.
• Low-Voltage Core Operation:  Core voltage specified between 1.425 V and 1.575 V to support modern power-optimized system designs.
• Family-Level Ecosystem:  Built on the Cyclone family architecture, facilitating migration and reuse across similar Cyclone devices where needed.
