EP3C25Q240C8

The EP3C25Q240C8 is a Cyclone III family field-programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 240-pin BFQFP surface-mount package. As a member of the Cyclone III family, it combines a mid-range logic capacity with embedded memory and system-level features aimed at cost- and power-sensitive applications across consumer, communications, and industrial-commercial designs.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 24,624 logic elements (LEs) to implement custom logic functions and moderate-complexity designs.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 0.61 Mbits of on-chip RAM (608,256 bits) for buffering, FIFOs, and small data stores.
• I/O Count & Standards — 148 user I/O pins with support across a wide range of I/O standards listed for the Cyclone III family, enabling flexible interfacing to peripherals and external devices.
• Clock Management — Family features include up to four phase-locked loops (PLLs) per device for clock synthesis and distribution.
• Power — Designed as a low-power Cyclone III device; core supply requirement is specified at 1.15 V to 1.25 V.
• Package & Mounting — Surface-mount 240-BFQFP package; supplier device package referenced as 240-PQFP (32×32) to suit standard PCB footprints.
• Operating Range — Commercial-grade operation from 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant for lead-free manufacturing processes.

Typical Applications

• Consumer Electronics — Implement control logic, user interfaces, and peripheral aggregation where moderate logic and embedded memory are required.
• Communications — Protocol bridging, packet buffering, and timing control using the device’s I/O flexibility and PLL resources.
• Industrial & Commercial Systems — Control and signal-processing functions in equipment operating within commercial temperature ranges.
• Embedded System Integration — Custom glue logic, state machines, and small-data buffering leveraging on-chip RAM and plentiful I/Os.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory: 24,624 logic elements paired with approximately 0.61 Mbits of embedded RAM provide the right mix for mid-range FPGA tasks without overprovisioning.
• Flexible I/O Support: 148 user I/Os and Cyclone III family support for a broad set of I/O standards simplify board-level interfacing and speed time-to-market.
• Integrated Clocking: Multiple PLLs included in the Cyclone III family enable robust clock management for synchronous designs and interface timing.
• Low-Voltage Core: Narrow core supply range (1.15 V–1.25 V) aligns with low-power design goals and predictable power budgeting.
• Commercial-Grade Reliability: Specified operation from 0 °C to 85 °C and surface-mount 240-BFQFP packaging support standard commercial installations and production processes.
• Regulatory Readiness: RoHS compliance supports lead-free assembly and environmental regulations.
