EP1C6Q240C8

The EP1C6Q240C8 is an Intel Cyclone® family field-programmable gate array (FPGA) offered in a 240-pin BFQFP package for commercial applications. It delivers a balanced combination of logic capacity, embedded RAM, and I/O count suitable for data-path, interface, and embedded-control designs.

Built on the Cyclone family architecture, this device is optimized for cost-sensitive data-path applications and supports migration within the Cyclone family for design scalability.

Key Features

• Core Logic — 5,980 logic elements provide programmable logic fabric for implementing custom datapaths, control logic, and glue-logic functions.
• Embedded Memory — 92,160 bits of on-chip RAM (approximately 92 Kbits) for FIFOs, small buffers, and on-chip storage.
• I/O Capability — 185 user I/O pins to support multiple external interfaces and board-level connectivity.
• Clocking — Up to two PLLs (phase-locked loops) per device available for clock multiplication and phase adjustments.
• Power & Voltage — Core voltage supply range 1.425 V to 1.575 V consistent with the Cyclone 1.5-V process.
• Package & Mounting — Surface-mount 240-BFQFP package (supplier device package listed as 240-PQFP (32x32)).
• Operating Range — Commercial grade device rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Data-path Processing — Implement packet handling, stream processing, or protocol translation where local logic and embedded RAM are required.
• Memory Interface Bridging — Integrate with external memory systems and manage on-board buffering using the device’s RAM and clocking resources.
• High I/O Control — Drive multiple board-level interfaces or sensor clusters using the 185 user I/O pins for flexible connectivity.
• Embedded System Glue Logic — Replace discrete logic and CPLDs with a single programmable device for state machines, bus arbitration, and peripheral control.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory — 5,980 logic elements paired with ~92 Kbits of embedded RAM supports a wide range of mid-density designs without external SRAM for small buffers.
• High I/O Count — 185 user I/Os let you consolidate multiple interfaces and reduce board-level routing complexity.
• On-chip Clock Management — Two PLLs enable flexible clocking schemes for synchronous interfaces and clock domain management.
• Compact Surface-mount Package — 240-BFQFP surface-mount packaging provides a space-efficient footprint for board-level integration.
• Commercial Temperature Suitability — Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation for mainstream commercial and enterprise applications.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to environmental lead-free requirements for modern manufacturing processes.
