Detailed Description

Low-cost, SRAM-based FPGA from the Cyclone family. 2910 logic elements and 59,904 total RAM bits in a compact 144-lead TQFP/LQFP package. 104 user I/O for flexible interfacing. Commercial temperature grade and 1.5 V-class core for low power. Ideal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs that still need FPGA flexibility.

Key Features

FPGA family: Cyclone (Intel/Altera)

Logic resources: 291 LABs/CLBs, 2910 logic elements/cells

Embedded memory: 59,904 RAM bits total

I/O count: 104 user I/Os

Package: 144-TQFP/LQFP, 20 x 20 mm body

Core supply: 1.425 V to 1.575 V (typical 1.5 V)

Mounting: Surface-mount (SMT)

Operating range: 0°C to 85°C (commercial, junction)

Configuration: JTAG and external configuration devices supported

Toolchain: Supported by Intel Quartus design software

Series speed grade: C8 (–8 speed grade)

Key Advantages

Cost-effective FPGA for volume designs

Simple PCB assembly with 144-pin TQFP/LQFP (no BGA required)

Low power with 1.5 V core supply

Plenty of I/O for parallel buses and mixed interfaces

Mature, widely used device with strong ecosystem and design examples

Fast time-to-market via in-system reprogrammability and robust tools

Packaging

Type: 144-TQFP/LQFP (tray)

Material: Molded epoxy plastic package with copper leadframe; matte tin–plated leads (RoHS-compliant variant)

Size: 20 mm x 20 mm body; low-profile quad flat package

Pin configuration: 144 leads total; 104 user I/O; remaining pins for power, ground, configuration, and dedicated clocks (see datasheet pinout)

Lead pitch: Standard fine-pitch for 144-TQFP (commonly 0.5 mm; verify in datasheet)

Thermal characteristics: Commercial-grade operation (0°C to 85°C TJ); thermal path primarily through leads and PCB copper; use solid ground planes and thermal vias for best heat spreading

Electrical properties:

- Core voltage (VCCINT): 1.425 V to 1.575 V (nominal 1.5 V)

- I/O bank voltages: Supports multiple standards via banked VCCIO (e.g., LVTTL/LVCMOS at common voltages—confirm per bank in datasheet)

- Configuration interfaces: JTAG; compatible with Intel/Altera serial configuration devices

- ESD and latch-up: Meets standard IC robustness guidelines (see datasheet limits)

Lifecycle

Status: Cyclone (first generation) is a mature product family. Some variants and packages may be NRND or approaching end-of-life depending on region and date code.

Planning advice: For new designs, consider later Cyclone families for longer lifecycle where feasible.

Equivalent/alternative models (availability and pin-compatibility must be verified):

- Same family, similar density/package options: EP1C3T144C6N, EP1C3T144C7N, EP1C3T144I8N (industrial temp), EP1C3T144C8N (standard suffix)

- Newer-generation alternatives (higher capability; not pin-compatible): Cyclone II EP2C5 series, Cyclone III EP3C5 series, Cyclone IV E EP4CE6 series

- Cross-vendor low-cost options (not pin- or tool-compatible): Xilinx Spartan-3A/Spartan-6 families; Lattice ECP2/ECP3 families
