EP1C6T144I7

The EP1C6T144I7 is an industrial-grade Cyclone® FPGA device optimized for data-path and embedded logic applications. Based on the Cyclone family architecture, this part delivers 5,980 logic elements and approximately 92 Kbits of on-chip RAM in a 144-pin LQFP surface-mount package.

With support for common high-speed I/O standards and up to two PLLs as part of the Cyclone architecture, this device targets cost-sensitive designs that require flexible I/O, on-chip memory, and deterministic clocking in industrial temperature environments.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  Provides 5,980 logic elements for implementing combinational and sequential logic, state machines, and custom datapaths.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 92,160 bits of total RAM (on-chip embedded memory) suitable for FIFOs, small buffers, and control storage.
• M4K RAM Blocks  Device-level M4K RAM block organization for efficient memory partitioning and predictable timing.
• Clocking  Includes up to two phase-locked loops (PLLs) as defined by the Cyclone family to support clock multiplication and phase shifting for synchronous designs.
• I/O Resources  98 available I/O pins on the 144-LQFP package to interface with peripherals and external memory devices; Cyclone family supports LVDS and common interface standards.
• Power Supply  Nominal core voltage range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V for predictable power planning and board-level design.
• Package & Mounting  144-LQFP (surface mount) package; supplier device package listed as 144-TQFP (20×20) for board footprint considerations.
• Temperature & Grade  Industrial-grade device rated for operation from −40 °C to 100 °C for robust performance in controlled industrial environments.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant to support restriction-of-hazardous-substances requirements.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Control  Implement custom control logic, state machines, and protocol handling for industrial controllers and instrumentation.
• Memory Interface & Data Path  Use on-chip RAM and PLLs for buffering and clocking in interfaces to external SDRAM/DDR memories and high-throughput data channels.
• Interface Bridging  Leverage flexible I/O and logic resources to bridge between differing peripheral standards or to implement custom peripheral controllers.
• Prototyping & Low-Cost FPGA Solutions  Suitable for cost-sensitive FPGA designs that require a balance of logic density, embedded memory, and industrial temperature range.

Unique Advantages

• Right-sized Logic Capacity: 5,980 logic elements provide a practical balance of density and cost for medium-complexity designs.
• Integrated Memory Resources: Approximately 92 Kbits of embedded RAM and M4K block structure reduce the need for external buffering and simplify board design.
• Deterministic Clocking: Up to two PLLs allow on-device clock generation and phase adjustment, reducing external clocking components.
• Industrial Reliability: Specified operating range of −40 °C to 100 °C and industrial grade classification support deployment in harsher environments.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package: 144-LQFP footprint supports high-density board layouts while providing ample I/O for peripheral interfacing.
• Regulatory Compatibility: RoHS compliance supports environmentally driven procurement requirements.
