EP3C120F780C7N

The EP3C120F780C7N is a Cyclone® III family FPGA provided in a 780-ball FBGA package. It delivers a high-density logic fabric with 119,088 logic elements and approximately 3.98 Mbits of embedded memory, making it suitable for complex, cost-sensitive designs.

As a member of the Cyclone III device family, this device targets low-power, high-functionality applications and supports extensive I/O and system-integration features. Key electrical and environmental parameters include a core supply range of 1.15 V to 1.25 V and a commercial operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  119,088 logic elements provide substantial programmable fabric for combinational and sequential logic.
• Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs)  7,443 CLBs for implementing structured logic and designers’ custom functions.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 3.98 Mbits of on-chip RAM to support buffering, FIFOs, and on-chip data storage.
• I/O Density and Flexibility  531 user I/Os for broad external connectivity; supports a wide range of I/O standards listed in the Cyclone III family documentation.
• Power and Voltage  Core supply voltage range of 1.15 V to 1.25 V consistent with Cyclone III low-power silicon and design flows.
• Clocking and Timing  Cyclone III family devices include multiple PLLs for robust clock management; family-level documentation notes four PLLs per device with multiple outputs and dynamic reconfiguration capabilities.
• Package and Mounting  780-ball FBGA package (29 × 29); surface mount package case specified as 780-BGA.
• Operating Range  Commercial grade operation from 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High-volume, cost-sensitive products  Leverages Cyclone III’s low-power, low-cost focus to meet production and BOM targets for large-scale deployments.
• Portable and handheld devices  Low-power family characteristics help extend battery life and enable operation in thermally constrained designs.
• Embedded systems and custom processing  On-chip RAM and support for Nios® II and pre-built IP cores (Cyclone III family) allow designers to implement custom embedded functions and offload system tasks.
• I/O-intensive interfaces  High I/O count and support for multiple I/O standards suit applications that require dense external connectivity and flexible signaling.

Unique Advantages

• High-density programmable fabric: 119,088 logic elements enable implementation of large and complex designs on a single device, reducing board-level component count.
• Significant embedded memory: Approximately 3.98 Mbits of on-chip RAM supports local buffering and memory-centric functions without immediate need for external RAM.
• Extensive I/O and standards support: 531 user I/Os and family-level support for a wide range of I/O standards provide flexibility for diverse interface requirements.
• Low-power family characteristics: Cyclone III family optimizations and TSMC low-power process technology are targeted at reducing static power for power-sensitive designs.
• Integrated clock management: Multiple PLLs per device and dynamic reconfiguration capabilities simplify clock distribution and timing control across subsystems.
• Proven IP ecosystem: Availability of pre-built and verified IP cores and support for Nios® II embedded processor (family-level) helps accelerate development and reduce time-to-market.
