EP1C6Q240C7

The EP1C6Q240C7 is a Cyclone® family FPGA offering a balanced combination of logic, embedded memory and I/O for commercial embedded and data-path applications. It is based on the Cyclone architecture described in the device handbook and is implemented on a 1.5‑V, 0.13‑µm, all-layer copper SRAM process.

With 5,980 logic elements, approximately 92 Kbits of embedded memory and 185 user I/O pins in a 240‑pin PQFP form factor, this device is targeted at designers requiring mid-range programmable logic for interface bridging, memory control and general-purpose digital processing within a commercial temperature range.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 5,980 logic elements provide mid-range programmable logic resources for control, glue-logic and data-path functions.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 92 Kbits of on-chip RAM suitable for small buffering, FIFOs and state storage.
• I/O and Interfaces — 185 user I/O pins enable broad connectivity; the Cyclone family supports multiple I/O standards and high-speed LVDS signalling as described in the device handbook.
• Clocking Resources — Device-level support for up to two PLLs for clock multiplication and phase adjustment as documented for the Cyclone family.
• Package and Mounting — 240‑pin BFQFP package (supplier device package listed as 240‑PQFP, 32×32) in a surface-mount package for PCB integration.
• Power — Core supply operating range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V consistent with the Cyclone device family process requirements.
• Commercial Grade — Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and specified as commercial grade.
• Standards and Configuration — Cyclone devices support common memory interfaces (including DDR SDRAM) and peripheral standards such as 66‑ and 33‑MHz PCI in the family documentation; configuration options include low-cost serial configuration devices.
• RoHS Compliant — Device is compliant with RoHS environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• Data-Path Processing — Mid-range logic and on-chip RAM suited for packet processing, signal routing and data-path control functions.
• Memory Interface Bridging — Used to implement DDR SDRAM and SDRAM interface logic and buffering as supported by the Cyclone family.
• High-Speed I/O and Protocol Bridging — Ideal for implementing LVDS links, PCI-compatible peripheral interfaces or other multi-standard I/O bridging tasks.
• Embedded Control and Prototyping — Provides reconfigurable logic for control paths, user interfaces and development platforms within a commercial temperature environment.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Integration: Combines nearly 6,000 logic elements with embedded RAM and extensive I/O to reduce external component count and simplify board design.
• Flexible I/O Support: Family-level support for multiple I/O standards and high-speed LVDS enables broad interface compatibility and system-level flexibility.
• On-Die Clocking: Up to two PLLs provide clock multiplication and phase shifting to simplify clock-domain management without additional ICs.
• Standard Package for Easy Assembly: 240-pin QFP/PQFP surface-mount package fits common PCB assembly flows and supports migration across Cyclone densities in similar packages.
• Environmentally Compliant: RoHS compliance helps meet regulatory requirements for commercial electronic products.
