EP3C25F324C6

The EP3C25F324C6 is a Cyclone III family FPGA offering a combination of high functionality and low-power operation. Built on TSMC low-power process technology, this device targets high-volume, low-power and cost-sensitive applications that require flexible logic, embedded memory and extensive I/O.

With 24,624 logic elements and approximately 0.61 Mbits of embedded memory, the device delivers a balanced mix of logic density and on-chip RAM, plus 215 user I/Os in a compact 324‑FBGA (19×19) package for space-constrained boards.

Key Features

• Core Logic — 24,624 logic elements provide the programmable fabric for custom digital functions and glue logic.
• Embedded Memory — 608,256 bits (approximately 0.61 Mbits) of on-chip RAM for FIFOs, buffers and small data stores.
• I/O Density and Flexibility — 215 user I/Os support high pin-count interfaces and board-level routing flexibility; family architecture supports a wide range of I/O standards for diverse signaling needs.
• Clock Management — Four phase-locked loops (PLLs) per device enable robust clock synthesis, distribution and dynamic reconfiguration for phase/frequency changes without full reconfiguration.
• Low-Power Operation — Designed on a TSMC low-power process; Cyclone III devices in the family deliver low static power (family-level static power under ¼ watt), supporting battery-powered and thermally constrained systems.
• Package and Mounting — 324‑BGA (supplier package: 324‑FBGA 19×19) in a surface-mount form factor for compact board layouts.
• Supply and Temperature — Core supply range 1.15 V to 1.25 V; commercial operating temperature from 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant for regulatory and manufacturing compatibility.

Typical Applications

• Portable and Handheld Devices — Low static power behavior and modest on-chip memory make the device suitable for battery-powered applications that require programmable logic.
• Consumer and High-Volume Electronics — Balanced logic density and I/O count support feature-rich consumer products where cost and board space are constrained.
• Communications and Networking — Multiple PLLs and high I/O availability accommodate clocking requirements and diverse interface needs for mid-range networking equipment.
• Test & Measurement and Instrumentation — Reconfigurable logic and on-chip RAM enable custom data acquisition front-ends, protocol handling and real-time processing.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated programmable fabric: 24,624 logic elements and embedded memory reduce external components for many control and data-path functions.
• Rich I/O capability: 215 user I/Os and support for many I/O standards give designers flexibility to interface with a wide variety of peripherals and signaling levels.
• Robust clocking and timing control: Four PLLs per device enable complex clock domain management, frequency synthesis and dynamic clock adjustments without full device reconfiguration.
• Low-power pedigree: TSMC low-power process and Cyclone III family optimizations keep static power low, helping extend battery life and reduce thermal management needs.
• Compact, production-ready package: 324‑FBGA (19×19) surface-mount package provides a high pin count in a small board footprint for dense designs.
• Compliance and manufacturing readiness: RoHS compliance and commercial-grade temperature range align with mainstream production requirements.
