The EP3C80F484C8 is an Intel Cyclone® III family field-programmable gate array supplied in a 484-ball BGA package. It combines a mid-range logic capacity with on-chip memory and high I/O density for cost- and power-sensitive system designs.

Designed for high-volume, low-power, cost-conscious applications, this device provides a balance of logic resources, embedded RAM, clock management and I/O flexibility suitable for consumer, portable and communications-oriented products operating in commercial temperature environments.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  81,264 logic elements for implementing complex digital functions and moderate to high-density designs.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 2.81 Mbits of on-chip RAM to support buffering, FIFOs and local data storage without external memory.
• I/O Resources  295 user I/Os to support wide interface integration and multiple external peripherals.
• Clock Management  Four PLLs per device with multiple outputs for robust clock generation, phase shifting and clock-domain management.
• Low-Power Architecture  Part of the Cyclone III family built on low-power process technology and silicon optimizations that target reduced static power consumption.
• Package & Mounting  484-BGA (supplier device package: 484-FBGA, 23 × 23) with surface-mount compatibility for PCB assembly.
• Power and Temperature  Core voltage supply range of 1.15 V to 1.25 V; commercial operating temperature range 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Standards & I/O Features  Family-level support for common I/O standards and features such as adjustable I/O slew rates and on-chip termination calibration to improve signal integrity across PVT.
• Compliance  RoHS-compliant for environmentally conscious designs.

Typical Applications

• Portable and Handheld Devices  Low-power Cyclone III architecture and embedded memory enable extended battery life and local data buffering for compact products.
• Consumer Electronics  High I/O count and programmable logic support feature integration and interface bridging in media, display, and control applications.
• Communications & Networking  On-chip PLLs and flexible I/O allow implementation of transceiver logic, protocol bridging and timing-critical functions.
• Embedded Processing Systems  Sufficient logic and memory resources to implement custom accelerators, controllers or to host soft processors within the Cyclone III family.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic-to-Memory Ratio  81,264 logic elements paired with approximately 2.81 Mbits of embedded RAM enable on-chip implementation of complex datapaths with local storage, reducing external memory needs.
• High I/O Density  295 user I/Os simplify board-level routing for multi-interface systems and reduce the need for external interface components.
• Integrated Clock Resources  Four PLLs with multiple outputs provide flexible clock synthesis and distribution to simplify system timing design.
• Low-Power Foundation  Built on a low-power process and device-level optimizations that help meet power budgets in thermally constrained designs.
• Compact BGA Package  484-BGA (484-FBGA, 23 × 23) enables a small board footprint while supporting high pin count.
• Commercial Temperature Rating  Specified for 0 °C to 85 °C operation for mainstream electronics and consumer applications.
