EP1C6Q240C6

The EP1C6Q240C6 is a Cyclone® family SRAM-based FPGA delivering a mid-range combination of logic density, embedded memory and flexible I/O in a 240-pin PQFP-style package. It targets commercial embedded and data-path applications that require on-chip RAM, multiple I/O standards and clocking resources.

Built on the Cyclone device architecture, this device combines approximately 5,980 logic elements with about 92,160 bits of on-chip RAM, 185 user I/O pins and family-level features such as PLLs and serial configuration support to address memory interfaces, protocol bridging and custom logic acceleration in commercial systems.

Key Features

• Logic Density — Approximately 5,980 logic elements offering mid-range capacity for combinational and sequential logic implementation.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 92,160 bits of on-chip RAM (M4K block architecture in the Cyclone family) for buffering, FIFOs and small lookup tables.
• I/O and Interfaces — Up to 185 user I/O pins to support multiple external interfaces and system signals; Cyclone family devices support common high-speed I/O standards.
• Clocking — Family-level support for up to two phase-locked loops (PLLs) to enable clock multiplication and phase shifting for system timing needs.
• Configuration — Supports configuration via low-cost serial configuration devices as provided in the Cyclone family documentation.
• Package and Mounting — 240-pin BFQFP / supplier device package listed as 240‑PQFP (32×32), surface-mount packaging for conventional assembly processes.
• Power and Operating Range — Core voltage supply range 1.425 V to 1.575 V; commercial operating temperature range 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Environmental — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Data-path processing — Use the on-chip RAM and logic density to implement buffering, packet processing or custom datapath functions in commercial systems.
• Memory interface bridging — Combine PLL resources and flexible I/O to implement DDR/SDRAM interface controllers and data buffering logic.
• High-speed I/O and protocol conversion — 185 I/O pins enable implementing multi-channel I/O, protocol bridging and LVDS-capable interfaces supported by the Cyclone family.
• Embedded system control — Mid-density logic and integrated RAM make the device suitable for control, sensor aggregation and user-interface tasks in commercial products.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced mid-range capacity: Approximately 5,980 logic elements provide a practical balance of resources for many commercial FPGA designs without excessive cost or board space.
• On-chip RAM reduces external memory needs: Around 92 Kbits of embedded RAM can lower BOM and improve latency for buffering and small data structures.
• Generous I/O count: 185 user I/O pins enable complex system interfacing and multiple parallel channels without needing external multiplexing logic.
• Flexible clocking: Up to two PLLs allow local clock domain generation and phase adjustments useful for timing-critical interfaces.
• Standard surface-mount package: The 240‑pin PQFP-style package (32×32) supports conventional PCB assembly and prototyping flows.
• Commercial-grade and compliant: Designed for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and RoHS compliant for mainstream commercial product development.
