EP1C3T100I7N Intel Altera Cyclone I Low-Cost FPGA IC 65 59904 2910 100-TQFP

EP1C3T100I7N is an entry-level SRAM-based FPGA belonging to Intel (Altera) Cyclone I product line, fabricated on 130nm process technology and encapsulated in a 100-pin TQFP surface-mount package with tape tray supply, RoHS compliant and MSL3 rated for standard automated SMT production workflows. This industrial graded device operates across -40°C to +100°C junction temperature with speed grade 7, containing 2,910 logic elements, 59,904 bits embedded RAM, 13 dedicated 18×18 hardware multipliers for DSP tasks, two PLL clock management blocks, and a total of 72 available user I/O pins. The core supply runs at 1.5V, while I/O banks support adjustable voltages from 1.5V up to 3.3V to interface with legacy MCU, memory and sensor logic levels.Despite being an older generation platform, it remains stocked extensively for equipment repair, spare part replacement and low-complexity reconfigurable embedded control systems with strict long-lifecycle demands.

It acts as a lightweight programmable logic controller deployed for factory automation signal interface boards, simple servo drive auxiliary logic, legacy data acquisition modules, serial protocol conversion adapters, small-scale audio processing hardware, laboratory test fixture control circuits, and aftermarket replacement parts for Cyclone-I based industrial machinery, delivering affordable reconfigurable performance for low gate-count tasks that do not require high-end modern FPGA resources.
