EP1C6T144I8N Übersicht

The Intel (formerly Altera) EP1C6T144I8N is a member of the original Cyclone FPGA family fabricated on a 130 nm process, integrating 5,980 logic elements, 92,160 RAM bits, and 144-pin TQFP packaging with a 1.5 V core supply. Operating from 1.425 V to 1.575 V, this industrial-temperature device delivers up to 275.03 MHz internal performance and provides up to 98 user I/O pins for moderate-density glue-logic, bridge, and control-plane designs. The EP1C6T144I8N suffix breakdown reads: EP1C6 = Cyclone I family / 6K LE density, T = TQFP package, 144 = pin count, I = industrial temperature grade (-40C to +100C), 8 = speed grade 8 (slower than -7 but still timing-closure friendly for many control applications).

What is an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array)? An FPGA is a programmable logic device whose function is defined by a customer-loaded configuration bitstream rather than fixed silicon. Compared to a microcontroller that executes firmware sequentially on a fixed CPU core, an FPGA implements truly parallel hardware in programmable logic fabric. Cyclone I sits below Cyclone II/III/IV in the Altera/Intel portfolio as a low-density, low-cost family targeted at glue logic, I/O expansion, and simple state-machine/bridge functions.

Key features of the EP1C6T144I8N include 5,980 logic elements (LEs), 92,160 bits of embedded RAM, two PLLs for clock management, dedicated LVDS support on select pins, and configuration via Altera serial configuration devices. The TQFP-144 footprint (22x22 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) provides 98 user I/Os - enough for typical 16/32-bit bus bridges, UART/SPI/I2C controllers, and parallel video or display interfaces in low-cost systems.

The Cyclone I architecture combines 4-input LUT-based logic elements, M4K embedded memory blocks, and DSP-style multiplier support. With two PLLs and four fast clock networks, the EP1C6T144I8N offers solid timing margin for industrial control and bridge applications at a fraction of the cost of larger Cyclone II/III/IV devices. Industrial temperature grade (-40C to +100C) supports factory-floor and outdoor-edge deployments.

Typical applications include industrial motor control (stepper/servo PWM generators), UART-to-SPI/I2C bus bridges, legacy peripheral emulation, low-density video processing, and education/hobby designs using the Quartus II Web Edition toolchain. The TQFP-144 package is hand-solderable and breadboard-friendly for prototype work, a notable advantage over modern BGA-only FPGAs.

When designing with the EP1C6T144I8N, ensure your configuration scheme is selected up front (Altera EPCS serial flash is the most common), allocate adequate decoupling across the four core/IO supply rails (VCCINT, VCCIO, VCCA_PLL, VCCD_PLL), and verify timing closure using Quartus II TimeQuest. The original Cyclone I family is mature but not recommended for new designs where Cyclone IV or Cyclone 10 LP offer higher logic density, more RAM, and longer lifecycle support.
