EP1C6T144C7

The EP1C6T144C7 is a Cyclone® family FPGA in a 144‑pin LQFP/TQFP package designed for commercial-grade embedded and data-path applications. Built on the Cyclone architecture, this device combines 5,980 logic elements with on-chip embedded memory and dedicated clock resources to implement custom logic, peripheral interfaces, and memory controllers.

This surface-mount FPGA delivers a compact, low-voltage programmable solution with 98 user I/O pins and a supply voltage range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V, making it suitable for space-constrained PCBs that require moderate logic density and flexible I/O options.

Key Features

• Core Density — 5,980 logic elements (LEs) for implementing combinational and sequential logic, state machines, and glue logic in a single device.
• On-chip Memory — 92,160 total RAM bits, providing approximately 0.092 Mbits of embedded memory for FIFOs, buffers, and small data stores.
• I/O and Interface Support — 98 user I/O pins in the 144‑pin package. The Cyclone family supports multiple I/O standards including LVTTL, LVCMOS, SSTL‑2, SSTL‑3 and LVDS for flexible interfacing.
• Clocking — Two phase-locked loops (PLLs) available for clock multiplication and phase shifting to support differentiated clock domains and timing requirements.
• Configuration — Supports configuration through low-cost serial configuration devices as described for the Cyclone family.
• Power — Narrow core supply window of 1.425 V to 1.575 V for consistent power delivery and predictable DC operating conditions.
• Package & Mounting — 144‑LQFP package (supplier device package: 144‑TQFP, 20×20) in a surface-mount form factor for compact board-level integration.
• Commercial Grade & Environmental — Commercial temperature rating (0 °C to 85 °C) and RoHS‑compliant status.

Typical Applications

• Data-path logic and glue — Implement custom data processing pipelines, peripheral logic, and protocol bridging using the device’s 5,980 logic elements and embedded RAM.
• Memory interface controllers — Use built-in clocking and Cyclone family support for external memories (including DDR SDRAM in the family) when implementing memory controller logic and timing adjustments.
• High-speed serial/parallel I/O — Leverage the device’s variety of supported I/O standards and 98 user pins to interface sensors, SERDES endpoints, or peripherals requiring LVDS or LVCMOS signaling.
• Prototype and evaluation designs — A compact 144‑pin package and moderate logic density make the EP1C6T144C7 useful for development boards, proof-of-concept systems, and feature validation.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced logic and memory capacity — 5,980 LEs paired with approximately 92 Kbits of embedded RAM enable mixed logic and buffering tasks without external memory in many use cases.
• Flexible clocking — Two PLLs allow localized clock generation and phase adjustments to meet multi-domain timing requirements.
• Compact, surface-mount package — 144‑pin LQFP/TQFP footprint provides a dense pinout and easy PCB assembly for space-constrained systems.
• Low-voltage operation — A defined core supply range (1.425 V–1.575 V) supports predictable power design and supply sequencing on embedded platforms.
• Toolchain and migration support — Cyclone family documentation and Quartus® II support referenced for pin migration and device mapping across Cyclone densities, aiding design scalability.
• Regulatory and assembly readiness — RoHS compliance simplifies environmental compliance for commercial products.
