EP1C6T144C8AA

The EP1C6T144C8AA is an Intel Cyclone® family FPGA in a 144-pin surface-mount package, designed for data-path and logic-integration applications. It combines approximately 5,980 logic elements with on-chip memory and a compact 144-LQFP footprint to deliver flexible, board-level programmable logic for commercial-temperature systems.

Built on the Cyclone family architecture, this device targets applications that require moderate logic density, embedded RAM, and a defined supply and temperature operating window. Key device electrical and mechanical parameters include a 1.425 V to 1.575 V supply range, support for surface-mount assembly, and a commercial operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C.

Key Features

• Cyclone family architecture The device is part of the Cyclone® FPGA family and leverages the Cyclone device feature set described in the Cyclone device handbook.
• Logic capacity Approximately 5,980 logic elements for implementing custom combinational and sequential logic.
• Embedded memory Approximately 92,160 bits of on-chip RAM for buffering, state storage, and small lookup tables.
• I/O count 98 user I/O pins to support peripheral interfaces and board-level signal routing.
• Power Nominal core supply range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V for integration into standard 1.5 V supply rails.
• Package and mounting 144-pin LQFP (supplier device package listed as 144-TQFP, 20 × 20) in a surface-mount form factor for compact PCB designs.
• Operating temperature and grade Commercial-grade device rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation.
• Family-level I/O and clocking features The Cyclone family includes support for multiple I/O standards and clocking features (for example, PLLs and DDR interface options) as described in the Cyclone device documentation.
• RoHS compliant Device conforms to RoHS environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• Data-path processing Implement packet processing, datapath control, or other medium-density logic functions leveraging the device’s logic elements and on-chip RAM.
• Memory interface buffering Use the embedded RAM and Cyclone family memory interface features for intermediate buffering and custom memory controllers.
