EP3C10M164C8N

The EP3C10M164C8N is a Cyclone® III family field programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 164-TFBGA package designed for commercial applications. It combines 10,320 logic elements with approximately 0.42 Mbits of embedded memory and 106 user I/Os to support mid-range integration and system control functions.

Built on the Cyclone III device family architecture, this device targets cost-sensitive, low-power, and high-volume designs that require moderate logic capacity, compact packaging, and flexible I/O connectivity.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 10,320 logic elements provide mid-range programmable logic for control, sequencing, and glue-logic tasks.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 0.42 Mbits of on-chip RAM for FIFOs, buffering, and small lookup tables.
• User I/O — 106 general-purpose I/O pins suitable for connecting sensors, buses, interfaces, and peripherals.
• Clock Management — Cyclone III family architecture includes up to four PLLs per device for flexible clock synthesis and distribution.
• Power — Low-voltage core operation with a supply range of 1.15 V to 1.25 V, supporting power-conscious designs.
• Package and Mounting — 164-TFBGA (supplier package 164-MBGA 8×8), surface-mount package for compact PCB integration.
• Operating Grade — Commercial temperature range from 0 °C to 85 °C for general-purpose applications.
• Standards and Ecosystem — Part of the Cyclone III family, which provides device-level features such as low-power process optimizations and a library of family IP cores and development support.
• Compliance — RoHS-compliant manufacturing.

Typical Applications

• Consumer and Portable Electronics — Implement user interfaces, peripheral aggregation, and protocol bridging while keeping power and board area constrained.
• Embedded Control Systems — Implement sequencing, state machines, and custom control logic using the device’s logic elements and on-chip RAM.
• Data Acquisition and Sensor Hubs — Aggregate sensor inputs and pre-process data with available I/O and embedded memory for buffering.
• Prototyping and Proof-of-Concept — Mid-range logic capacity and accessible I/Os make it suitable for hardware validation and functional prototyping.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, mid-range logic — 10,320 logic elements deliver substantial combinational and sequential resources in a small package, reducing board area and BOM complexity.
• On-chip memory for buffering — Approximately 0.42 Mbits of embedded RAM supports FIFOs, frame buffers, and local data storage without external memory.
• Flexible I/O pinout — 106 user I/Os enable multiple peripheral connections and interface options from a single device.
• Low-voltage core — 1.15 V to 1.25 V supply range supports designs with strict power budgets.
• Commercial temperature rating — 0 °C to 85 °C operation suits a wide range of indoor and ambient-temperature deployments.
• Family-level support — Access to Cyclone III device family IP and development resources helps accelerate design implementation and migration.
