EP3C25E144C8N

The EP3C25E144C8N is a Cyclone® III family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) optimized for commercial, cost-sensitive applications that require a balance of logic capacity, on-chip memory, and I/O density. Built on the Cyclone III device family architecture, it targets designs that need low power operation, flexible clocking, and embedded memory resources within a compact surface-mount package.

This device is well suited for mid-range digital logic, embedded control, and I/O-bridging tasks where a commercial temperature range (0 °C to 85 °C), RoHS compliance, and a 144-LQFP exposed pad package are required.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 24,624 logic elements for implementing mid-range combinational and sequential logic functions.
• Embedded Memory — 608,256 total RAM bits (approximately 0.6 Mbits) to support on-chip buffering, FIFOs, and small data stores.
• I/O Resources — 82 user I/Os to support multiple peripheral interfaces and board-level signal routing requirements.
• Power Supply — Core voltage range of 1.15 V to 1.25 V for core power planning and regulator selection.
• Commercial Grade — Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operating temperature; suitable for commercial applications.
• Package and Mounting — 144-LQFP exposed pad package; surface-mount mounting type. Supplier device package listed as 144-EQFP (20x20).
• Family-Level Low-Power Design — Part of the Cyclone III family based on a low-power process technology, delivering a balance of functionality and power efficiency.
• Clock Management — Cyclone III family devices include dedicated phase-locked loop (PLL) resources for flexible clock synthesis and management.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Control — Implement custom control logic and state machines using abundant logic elements and on-chip RAM for temporary data storage.
• Interface and I/O Bridging — Use the 82 I/Os to bridge between different peripherals, handle protocol translation, or aggregate signals for system-level controllers.
• Low-Power Portable Electronics — Leverage Cyclone III family low-power characteristics for battery-powered or thermally constrained designs in the commercial space.
• Prototyping and Product Development — Mid-range logic and memory resources make this device suitable for proofs-of-concept and cost-sensitive production designs.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory: 24,624 logic elements paired with approximately 0.6 Mbits of embedded memory provide the right resource mix for many mid-range designs.
• Compact, Surface-Mount Package: 144-LQFP exposed pad package supports compact PCB layouts while providing thermal path through the exposed pad.
• Commercial Temperature Range: Rated 0 °C to 85 °C for reliable operation in typical commercial environments.
• Flexible Clocking: Family-level PLL resources enable robust clock management and on-device frequency synthesis for diverse timing needs.
• Regulatory and Assembly Friendly: RoHS compliance and standard surface-mount package streamline manufacturing and regulatory acceptance.
• Vendor Ecosystem: As a Cyclone III family device, it benefits from documented family features, device handbook resources, and available IP cores for accelerated development.
