EP1C3T144A8N Cyclone FPGA IC 104 59904 2910 144-LQFP
The EP1C3T144A8N is a member of Altera's (now Intel) first-generation Cyclone FPGA family, specifically engineered to deliver a balance of low cost, low power, and adequate logic density for high-volume consumer and industrial applications . Built on a 1.5V, 0.13-micron, all-layer copper SRAM process, this device provides 2,910 logic elements and 59,904 bits of embedded RAM, making it suitable for data-path applications, I/O expansion, and glue logic implementation .
Operating from a core supply voltage of 1.425V to 1.575V, the EP1C3T144A8N delivers a maximum internal clock frequency of 250 MHz to 275 MHz, depending on the specific application and design constraints . The device is housed in a 144-pin LQFP (Low-Profile Quad Flat Pack) package measuring 20mm x 20mm, featuring a 0.5mm lead pitch that facilitates standard surface-mount assembly and manual soldering for prototyping . It provides 104 user-configurable I/O pins supporting multiple standards including LVTTL, LVCMOS, SSTL-2, and SSTL-3, with dedicated LVDS support achieving data rates up to 640 Mbps for high-speed serial interfaces . On-chip memory resources total 59,904 bits of RAM, organized into M4K memory blocks, complemented by two dedicated phase-locked loops (PLLs) offering clock multiplication, phase shifting, and external memory interfacing capabilities for DDR SDRAM and FCRAM support .
Alternative Cyclone FPGAs
● EP1C3T144C8N (Intel/Altera): Same logic density and 104 I/Os in identical 144-TQFP package but with a "C" (commercial) grade temperature rating of 0°C to 85°C offering improved cost efficiency .
● EP1C3T144I7N (Intel/Altera): Industrial temperature range variant (-40°C to 100°C) with faster speed grade (I7) for thermally demanding environments and extended reliability .
● EP1C3T144C6N (Intel/Altera): Higher performance speed grade (C6) providing faster internal clock speeds up to 315 MHz for timing-critical designs requiring maximum throughput .
● EP1C3T100A8N (Intel/Altera): Reduced I/O count (65 I/Os) version in compact 100-TQFP package (14mm x 14mm) for space-constrained applications where fewer interface pins are required .
