EP1C4F400C7N

The EP1C4F400C7N is a Cyclone® family FPGA offering 4,000 logic elements and approximately 78 Kbits (78,336 bits) of embedded RAM in a compact 400-FBGA (21×21) surface-mount package. It delivers programmable logic, on-chip memory, and flexible I/O for data-path and system interface applications.

Designed for commercial-grade systems, the device provides up to 301 user I/O pins, support for clocking through up to two PLLs, and a low-voltage core supply range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V—making it suitable for mid-density FPGA tasks where integration and board-area savings matter.

Key Features

• Programmable Logic  Provides 4,000 logic elements for implementing custom logic, glue logic, and moderate-complexity datapath functions.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 78 Kbits (78,336 bits) of on-chip RAM to support FIFOs, buffers, and small on-chip data structures.
• I/O Capacity  Up to 301 user I/O pins to handle diverse peripheral and bus connections from a single device.
• Clocking Resources  Includes up to two PLLs for clock multiplication and phase shifting to support varied timing and interface requirements.
• Package and Mounting  400-FBGA (21×21) surface-mount package (listed as 400-BGA), optimized for compact PCB layouts and high pin density.
• Power  Low-voltage core operation with a supply range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V for designs targeting power-conscious systems.
• Operating Range & Grade  Commercial temperature grade with an operating range of 0°C to 85°C for mainstream electronic products.
• Regulatory  RoHS compliant.
• Cyclone Family Capabilities  As a Cyclone device, the family-level architecture supports common interfaces and memory types used in data-path and system-interface designs (as documented in the Cyclone device handbook).

Typical Applications

• Data-path and memory controllers  Implement DDR/FCRAM interface logic and on-board buffering using the device’s embedded RAM and PLL-assisted clocking.
• High-speed interfaces  Support LVDS and other high-speed signaling standards at the family level for serial data links and sensor interfaces.
• System glue logic  Bridge ASSP/ASIC peripherals and custom logic blocks where flexible I/O and moderate logic density are required.
• Compact commercial electronics  Integrate control, interfacing, and moderate signal processing in space-constrained consumer and commercial products.

Unique Advantages

• Moderate logic density with compact footprint: 4,000 logic elements in a 400-FBGA (21×21) package reduces board area while supporting meaningful on-chip logic.
• Generous I/O pin count: 301 user I/O pins enable multiple peripheral connections and bus interfaces from a single device.
• On-chip memory for buffering: Approximately 78 Kbits of embedded RAM allows localized data storage for FIFOs, scratch memory, and small tables.
• Flexible clocking: Up to two PLLs provide clock multiplication and phase adjustments to align internal logic and external interfaces.
• Low-voltage core operation: 1.425 V to 1.575 V supply range supports power-conscious designs and standard Cyclone family implementations.
• RoHS compliant and commercial grade: Suitable for mainstream electronic products with verified environmental compliance.
