EP1C6Q240I7N

The EP1C6Q240I7N is an Intel Cyclone® family field-programmable gate array (FPGA) supplied in a 240-pin BFQFP surface-mount package. It delivers a mid-range combination of logic density, embedded memory and I/O capability suitable for data-path and interface-centric embedded designs.

As a Cyclone device, this part targets cost-sensitive data-path applications and system interfacing tasks. It offers programmable logic resources, on-chip memory and clock-management features useful for designs that require flexible I/O and moderate on-chip resources within an industrial temperature grade.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 5,980 logic elements, providing mid-range programmable logic resources for control, glue-logic and moderate processing functions.
• Embedded Memory — 92,160 total RAM bits (20 M4K RAM blocks), enabling local buffering, FIFOs and small data-store implementations on-chip.
• I/O Count and Standards — Up to 185 user I/O pins, with Cyclone family support for common I/O standards and high-speed serial interfaces as documented for the family.
• Clock Management — Device family documentation indicates up to two PLLs for clock multiplication and phase shifting to simplify timing and clock-domain management.
• Package & Mounting — 240-BFQFP surface-mount package (supplier package: 240-PQFP, 32×32), suitable for compact PCB layouts and automated assembly.
• Power Supply — Core voltage supply range 1.425 V to 1.575 V for compatible power-rail design.
• Operating Temperature — Industrial grade operation from −40 °C to 100 °C for reliable performance across extended temperature ranges.
• RoHS Compliance — Device is RoHS compliant, aligned with current environmental and manufacturing requirements.

Typical Applications

• Data-Path Processing — Implement packet handling, stream processing or custom datapath logic using the device’s logic elements and on-chip memory.
• Memory Interface and Buffering — Use embedded RAM blocks and PLLs to design interfaces to external memory and implement local buffering or FIFOs.
• High-Speed I/O and Serial Links — Deploy the part where flexible I/O and support for high-speed differential signaling (as provided by the Cyclone family) are required for board-level interfaces.
• Embedded Control and Glue Logic — Replace discrete logic and microcontroller glue with programmable logic for custom timing, state machines and peripheral control functions.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory — 5,980 logic elements combined with 92,160 bits of on-chip RAM provide a practical balance for mid-density applications without requiring larger devices.
• Generous I/O Count — Up to 185 user I/O pins simplify interfacing to multiple peripherals, sensors and external devices on a single PCB.
• Industrial Temperature Range — Rated from −40 °C to 100 °C to meet the thermal requirements of industrial deployments.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package — 240-BFQFP (240-PQFP 32×32) enables space-efficient board layouts and standard SMT assembly processes.
• RoHS Compliant — Compliance simplifies integration into products with environmental material requirements.
