EP3C40U484I7

The EP3C40U484I7 is an Intel Cyclone® III field‑programmable gate array supplied in a 484‑FBGA package intended for industrial applications. It delivers 39,600 logic elements and approximately 1.16 Mbits of embedded memory, making it suitable for low‑power, integration‑focused designs that require substantial on‑chip logic and memory resources.

With a wide I/O count and an operating range tailored for industrial environments, this device targets system designers building cost‑sensitive, power‑efficient applications that need flexible I/O and programmable logic integration.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 39,600 logic elements provide programmable logic resources for custom digital functions and control logic.
• Embedded Memory — Total on‑chip RAM of 1,161,216 bits (approximately 1.16 Mbits) for data buffering, state storage, and local scratch memory.
• Programmable Logic Structure — 2,475 LABs (logic array blocks) to structure and organize logic implementation across the device.
• I/O Density — 331 user I/Os to support multiple interfaces, external devices, and high‑pin‑count systems.
• Power Supply — Core voltage range of 1.15 V to 1.25 V to match low‑power system designs and defined power rails.
• Package & Mounting — 484‑FBGA (484‑UBGA, 19×19) surface‑mount package for compact board integration and reliable soldered connections.
• Industrial Temperature Grade — Rated for operation from −40°C to 100°C to meet industrial thermal requirements.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant, supporting lead‑free manufacturing and environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control — Implements custom control logic, real‑time processing, and I/O aggregation in factory automation and process control equipment.
• Communications & Networking — Provides programmable data path logic and high I/O counts for medium‑density switching, protocol bridging, and interface adaptation.
• Embedded Processing — Hosts custom accelerators or soft processors using on‑chip memory and logic resources for low‑power embedded systems.
• Test & Measurement — Enables flexible signal conditioning, timing control, and data capture in instrumentation requiring industrial temperature operation.

Unique Advantages

• High Logic and Memory Integration: 39,600 logic elements alongside approximately 1.16 Mbits of embedded RAM reduces external component count and simplifies board design.
