EP3C10E144C7N

The EP3C10E144C7N is a Cyclone III field programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 144‑lead LQFP exposed‑pad package, designed for commercial applications that require a balance of functionality and low power. Built on the Cyclone III device family, it targets high‑volume, cost‑sensitive designs that benefit from integrated logic, on‑chip memory and flexible I/O.

This device provides 10,320 logic elements and approximately 0.42 Mbits of embedded memory, supporting designs that need moderate logic density, significant embedded RAM, and up to 94 user I/Os in a surface‑mount 144‑LQFP package.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 10,320 logic elements to implement mid‑range FPGA functions and custom logic.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 0.42 Mbits of on‑chip RAM for data buffering, FIFOs, and small lookup tables.
• I/O Resources — 94 user I/Os with support for a wide range of industry I/O standards, enabling flexible board‑level interfacing.
• Clocking and PLLs — Family‑level support for multiple phase‑locked loops: four PLLs per device with five outputs per PLL; PLLs are cascadable and dynamically reconfigurable for robust clock management.
• Low‑Power Technology — Based on TSMC low‑power (LP) process technology and Cyclone III low‑power design optimizations to help meet strict power budgets.
• Supply and Temperature — Core voltage range 1.15 V to 1.25 V; commercial operating temperature 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Package and Mounting — Surface‑mount 144‑LQFP exposed pad (supplier package 144‑EQFP, 20×20 mm) to simplify PCB placement and thermal conduction.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant; specified as commercial grade.

Typical Applications

• Portable and handheld devices — Low‑power Cyclone III technology helps extend battery life for portable applications while providing necessary logic and memory resources.
• High‑volume consumer electronics — Mid‑range logic density and cost‑sensitive packaging make this device suitable for mass production designs that require programmable logic integration.
• I/O‑constrained systems — Up to 94 I/Os and support for many I/O standards enable flexible interfacing for sensor hubs, user interfaces, and peripheral aggregation.
• Clock‑managed subsystems — Multiple PLLs and dynamic reconfiguration capability support complex clocking schemes for data‑path and interface timing.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced mid‑range capability: 10,320 logic elements and on‑chip RAM provide the right mix of resources for moderate complexity designs without excess cost.
• Power‑efficient architecture: TSMC low‑power process and Cyclone III power optimizations reduce static and dynamic power consumption for thermally constrained designs.
• Flexible clocking: Four PLLs with multiple outputs and dynamic reconfiguration let you manage and synthesize clocks on‑chip, simplifying board design.
• Wide I/O support: High I/O count and family‑level support for many industry standards ease integration with a broad range of peripherals and signaling requirements.
• Compact surface‑mount package: 144‑LQFP exposed pad delivers a small footprint with improved thermal conduction for PCB integration.
• RoHS compliant commercial grade: Meets environmental compliance requirements for many consumer and commercial products.
