Intel Cyclone III FPGA EP3C16U484I7N Field Programmable Gate Array IC 346 516096 15408 484-FBGA
The EP3C16U484I7N is a member of the Cyclone III family of field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) manufactured by Intel/Altera. This chip is designed for low-power, cost-sensitive applications while delivering high performance and flexibility. It features 15,408 logic elements (LEs), 504 kilobits (Kb) of embedded memory, and 56 embedded 18x18 multipliers, making it suitable for a wide range of digital signal processing (DSP), embedded control, and general-purpose logic applications. The device operates at a core voltage of 1.2V, ensuring energy efficiency, and supports various I/O standards, including LVCMOS, LVTTL, and differential signaling such as LVDS and RSDS.
The EP3C16U484I7N is housed in a 484-pin Ultra FineLine BGA (UBGA) package, providing a compact footprint while offering ample I/O connectivity. It supports high-speed interfaces with maximum clock frequencies exceeding 300 MHz, enabling rapid data processing. The FPGA includes dedicated PLLs (Phase-Locked Loops) for clock management, allowing precise synchronization and frequency synthesis. Additionally, it features on-chip memory blocks (M4K) that can be configured as RAM, ROM, or FIFO buffers, enhancing design versatility.
This FPGA is ideal for applications such as industrial automation, consumer electronics, communications, and automotive systems. Its non-volatile configuration support via external flash memory ensures reliable operation upon power-up. The Cyclone III family also provides robust security features, including configuration bitstream encryption, to protect intellectual property. The EP3C16U484I7N is supported by Intel’s Quartus II design software, which offers comprehensive development tools for synthesis, simulation, and debugging.
