EP3C80F484C6N

The EP3C80F484C6N is a Cyclone® III field programmable gate array (FPGA) optimized for high-functionality, low-power, cost-sensitive designs. As a member of the Cyclone III device family, it combines a substantial logic density with embedded memory and a high I/O count to address a variety of system-level roles.

This commercial-grade, surface-mount device targets high-volume, low-power applications where integration, flexible I/O, and controllable power consumption are key design drivers. It operates over a 1.15–1.25 V core supply range and a 0 °C to 85 °C ambient temperature range.

Key Features

• Core logic density — 81,264 logic elements to support complex digital designs and multiple concurrent functions on a single device.
• Embedded memory — Approximately 2.81 Mbits of on-chip RAM for buffering, packet processing, and embedded-data storage.
• High I/O count — 295 user I/Os to simplify external interfacing and reduce the need for additional bridge devices.
• Low-power architecture — Cyclone III family design emphasizes low power through process and silicon optimizations for battery-powered and thermally constrained systems.
• Clock management — Device-family support for multiple PLLs enables robust clock synthesis and distribution for system and interface timing (as described in Cyclone III device family features).
• Flexible I/O standards — Cyclone III family support for a wide range of I/O standards to accommodate diverse signaling requirements and simplify board-level integration.
• Package and mounting — 484-ball BGA (484-FBGA, 23 × 23) in a surface-mount package for compact, high-density PCB implementations.
• Commercial operating range — Rated for operation from 0 °C to 85 °C for general-purpose commercial applications.
• RoHS compliant — Environmentally compliant lead-free assembly.

Typical Applications

• Portable and handheld devices — Low-power Cyclone III architecture helps extend battery life while providing embedded memory and logic capacity for local processing and control.
• High-volume consumer electronics — High integration and a compact 484-BGA package suit size- and cost-sensitive consumer designs that require substantial logic and I/O.
• Interface bridging and I/O-rich systems — With 295 I/Os and broad I/O standard support, the device is suitable for protocol bridging, glue-logic, and front-end interfacing tasks.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced logic and memory resources: 81,264 logic elements paired with approximately 2.81 Mbits of embedded RAM lets you implement sizable data paths and buffering without external memory for many designs.
• High I/O flexibility: 295 I/Os reduce external components and simplify board routing for multi-interface systems.
• Low-power pedigree: Built on Cyclone III low-power family characteristics to help meet tight power budgets in portable and thermally constrained applications.
• Compact BGA package: 484-FBGA (23 × 23) enables dense PCB layouts and supports space-constrained product designs.
• Commercial-grade reliability: Specified for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and RoHS-compliant manufacturing for mainstream application deployment.
• Device-family ecosystem: Cyclone III family features—including device clock management and available IP—support integration into established FPGA design flows and toolchains.
