EP3C25E144C7

The EP3C25E144C7 is a Cyclone® III family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC offering a balance of logic density, on-chip memory, and low-power operation for cost-sensitive, high-volume designs. Built on the Cyclone III device family architecture, it targets applications that require flexible I/O, moderate embedded memory, and efficient clock management while maintaining a commercial temperature grade.

Key value propositions include a dense logic fabric (24,624 logic elements), approximately 0.61 Mbits of embedded memory, and family-level low-power optimizations suited to designs where power, integration, and board-level I/O are important.

Key Features

• Logic Density — 24,624 logic elements provide substantial programmable logic resources for mid-range FPGA designs.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 0.61 Mbits (608,256 bits) of on-chip RAM to support buffering, small data structures, and state storage.
• I/O Capacity & Signal Integrity — 82 user I/O pins with family features such as adjustable I/O slew rates and multi-value on-chip termination (OCT) calibration to help maintain signal integrity across PVT conditions.
• Clock Management — Cyclone III family clocking capabilities including four phase-locked loops (PLLs) per device and multiple PLL outputs to support robust clock synthesis and distribution.
• Low-Power Architecture — Part of the Cyclone III family engineered with low-power process technology and design techniques to reduce static power consumption for battery-powered or thermally constrained systems.
• Power Supply & Operating Range — Core voltage range of 1.15 V to 1.25 V; commercial operating temperature from 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Package & Mounting — 144-LQFP Exposed Pad package; supplier device package listed as 144-EQFP (20×20). Surface-mount mounting type simplifies PCB assembly and thermal conduction via exposed pad.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant for regulatory and manufacturing alignment.

Typical Applications

• Consumer and Portable Electronics — Implement control logic, interface bridging, and custom peripherals where low-power operation and moderate logic density are required.
• Communications and Networking — Use for protocol bridging, packet buffering, and custom I/O adaptation leveraging the device’s PLL-based clock management and I/O flexibility.
• Industrial Control — Integrate motor control logic, sensor interfacing, and machine-state control in systems operating within commercial temperature ranges.
• Embedded Systems — Realize application-specific accelerators, glue logic, and compact system controllers that benefit from on-chip memory and dense logic resources.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated logic and memory: 24,624 logic elements combined with approximately 0.61 Mbits of embedded RAM reduce external component count and simplify board design.
• Power-conscious family architecture: Cyclone III’s low-power process and device-level optimizations help lower static power for thermally or battery-constrained products.
• Flexible clocking: Multiple PLLs and reconfigurable outputs enable robust clock domain creation and management without external clock-conditioning hardware.
• I/O versatility and signal integrity tools: Adjustable slew rates and OCT calibration support a wide range of signaling needs while helping to maintain signal quality across varying conditions.
• Compact, manufacturable package: 144-LQFP Exposed Pad with surface-mount mounting supports streamlined PCB assembly and improved thermal path through the exposed pad.
• Regulatory readiness: RoHS compliance aligns with standard manufacturing and environmental requirements.
