EP3C16U484I7N Cyclone III FPGA embedded DSP FPGA 15K logic elements
The EP3C16U484I7N is a member of Intel's (formerly Altera) Cyclone III family of low-cost, low-power FPGAs, designed for high-volume applications requiring flexible logic integration. This device features 15,408 logic elements (LEs), 504Kbits of embedded memory, and 56 embedded 18x18 multipliers, making it suitable for digital signal processing (DSP), industrial control, and embedded system designs. Operating at 1.2V core voltage, it balances performance with power efficiency, supporting a wide -40°C to +100°C industrial temperature range. The 484-pin UltraFine BGA package offers high I/O density and reliable connectivity for complex PCB layouts.
Key Features & Specifications
The EP3C16U484I7N delivers 346 user I/O pins with support for multiple I/O standards (LVTTL, LVCMOS, LVDS, and PCI), enabling versatile system interfacing. It includes four Phase-Locked Loops (PLLs) for precise clock management and synchronization. With 3.3V, 2.5V, and 1.8V I/O bank support, it ensures compatibility with various peripheral devices. The FPGA's low static and dynamic power consumption makes it ideal for power-sensitive applications, while its on-chip memory blocks (M4K and M9K) enhance data processing efficiency.
Applications & Use Cases
This FPGA is widely used in industrial automation, motor control, video processing, and telecommunications infrastructure. Its high logic density and DSP capabilities make it suitable for real-time control systems, software-defined radio (SDR), and medical imaging devices. Engineers favor the EP3C16U484I7N for prototyping and mid-range FPGA designs due to its cost-effectiveness, reprogrammability, and robust thermal performance in harsh environments.
Alternative Models
●EP4CE6E22C8N(Cyclone IV E): Lower-cost alternative with 6K LEs, optimized for simple control applications.
● XC6SLX9 (Xilinx Spartan-6): Comparable logic capacity with enhanced power efficiency, ideal for consumer electronics.
● Lattice ECP5-12F: Low-power FPGA with SERDES support, suited for high-speed serial communication.
● Intel MAX 10 (10M08SAE144): Non-volatile FPGA with integrated ADC, perfect for space-constrained designs.
