EP1C3T144C8 Ringkasan

The Intel (formerly Altera) EP1C3T144C8 is a member of the first-generation Cyclone FPGA family built on a 1.5 V, 0.13 µm SRAM process, delivering 2,910 logic elements across 144 pins in a 144-LQFP surface-mount package. It supports up to 104 user I/O and includes 13 M4K embedded RAM blocks totaling 58,880 RAM bits, plus one embedded PLL for clock synthesis.

A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a semiconductor integrated circuit composed of configurable logic blocks (CLBs), programmable interconnects, and dedicated I/O cells that allow the device's digital function to be redefined in the field after manufacturing. Within the broader programmable logic taxonomy, an FPGA sits between a CPLD (lower density, non-volatile) and an ASIC (higher density, fixed function), and is itself a member of the larger family of programmable logic devices (PLDs). Cyclone FPGAs specifically target low-cost, high-volume applications where ASIC-like performance is needed without the NRE cost.

Key features of the EP1C3T144C8 include commercial temperature grade (0 °C to +85 °C), 8 ns speed grade (-8), 0.13 µm process node with built-in DDR SDRAM support, and configuration via JTAG or Altera serial/parallel configuration schemes. The 144-LQFP (Low-profile Quad Flat Pack) package provides gull-wing leads and 1.4 mm package height for hand-solder-friendly prototyping.

The Cyclone architecture uses 4-input LUTs combined with dedicated carry chains for arithmetic, and each M4K RAM block can implement true dual-port, simple dual-port, or single-port memory with parity. The single PLL supports output frequencies up to 400 MHz with coarse and fine-grained phase shifting. Together these features make the EP1C3T144C8 sufficient for glue logic, simple state machines, and basic video/imaging pipelines.

Typical applications include industrial control logic, low-cost display controllers, consumer electronics glue logic, sensor pre-processing front-ends, and education/CPLD-style development platforms. The device is widely used as a bridge between a microcontroller and high-speed peripherals such as parallel ADCs or LCD panels.

When designing with the EP1C3T144C8, note that it has been classified NRND/EOL by Intel - new designs should evaluate Cyclone IV E (EP4CE6E22) or Lattice ECP5 as a migration target. Configuration data must be loaded from external Flash, JTAG, or Altera EPCS serial loader on every power-up.
