EP3C5E144C7N 概要
A Cyclone III FPGA is a programmable logic device that combines lookup-table (LUT)-based logic fabric with embedded memory blocks (M9K), embedded multipliers (18x18), and Phase-Locked Loops (PLLs) on a single die. In the broader taxonomy, the EP3C5E144C7N belongs to the SRAM-based programmable logic family, sitting alongside Cyclone IV (next-generation low-power FPGA), Cyclone V (28 nm successor), and MAX series CPLDs. The device is non-volatile-of-configuration: bitstreams are loaded from external flash or JTAG into on-chip SRAM configuration cells, enabling unlimited re-programmability for prototyping, NPI, and field-upgradable end products.
Key features include 5,136 logic elements organized into 290 logic array blocks (LABs), 46 embedded M9K memory blocks (414 Kbits), 46 embedded 18x18 multipliers, and up to 4 PLLs with 4 dedicated clock outputs. The device supports configuration schemes including Active Serial (AS), Passive Serial (PS), Fast Passive Parallel (FPP), and JTAG, and includes Cyclone III architectural primitives such as high-speed LVDS I/O, on-chip termination (OCT), and the Altera remote update IP for in-field bitstream swapping. The 144-pin EQFP package provides a thermal resistance of approximately 22 C/W with a properly soldered exposed pad.
The Cyclone III architecture targets cost-sensitive high-volume applications where the previous-generation Cyclone II could not deliver sufficient logic density, DSP bandwidth, or low static power. The 65 nm process enables typical static power in the milliamp range while retaining deterministic timing closure at 200+ MHz for common logic functions and 250 MHz for DSP blocks. I/O banks support LVDS, SSTL, HSTL, LVCMOS, and PCI/PCI-X signaling standards with per-bank voltage reference supplies, enabling direct interface to DDR/DDR2 SDRAM without external level shifters.
Typical applications include industrial motor control and PLC logic, video surveillance and image-processing front ends, portable medical instrumentation, low-cost software-defined radio (SDR) baseband, and consumer audio/video processing. The combination of low static power, moderate logic capacity, and a small footprint package makes the EP3C5E144C7N a strong fit for space-constrained, cost-driven designs that still need hardware-accelerated DSP or parallel sensor aggregation.
When designing with this device, allocate at least an 8-layer PCB stack-up with continuous GND planes for signal integrity on LVDS pairs, and use the Quartus II / Quartus Prime design suite (13.0 or later recommended for final bitstream) with the Cyclone III device library installed. Decoupling must include 0.1 uF and 10 uF capacitors placed within 5 mm of every VCCIO/VCCINT ball pair, and the exposed thermal pad must be soldered to a 1 sq. inch copper pour to keep junction temperature within the C7 commercial rating.

EP3C5E144C7N の用途: 6 件s: Industrial Motor Control and PLC Logic, Video Surveillance and Image Processing Front End, Portable Medical Instrumentation, Low-Cost Software-Defined Radio (SDR) Baseband, Consumer Audio/Video Processing, Industrial Networking and Protocol Bridging.
Industrial Motor Control and PLC Logic
The EP3C5E144C7N's 5,136 logic elements and 46 embedded 18x18 multipliers fit single-axis to dual-axis motor control loops including field-oriented control (FOC), trapezoidal commutation, and PID compensation. The 94 user I/Os support encoder inputs (QEP), Hall sensor feedback, PWM outputs to gate drivers, and isolated communication interfaces (RS-485, CAN, Modbus). The C7 speed grade closes 200 MHz logic timing, sufficient for 50 kHz current loop rates. Compared to DSP-only solutions, the FPGA enables parallel sampling of multiple ADC channels synchronized to PWM edges, eliminating the sequential bottleneck of a single-core DSP.
おすすめ
Video Surveillance and Image Processing Front End
The EP3C5E144C7N's 46 M9K memory blocks (414 Kbits total) and LVDS I/O support enable direct interface to CMOS image sensors at up to 1080p60 resolution using LVDS or sub-LVDS signaling. The 5,136 logic elements implement real-time pipelines for demosaicing, color correction, edge detection, and H.264 baseline encoding pre-processing. The 4 PLLs generate the precise pixel clocks required by MIPI CSI-2 or parallel LVDS sensor interfaces. The 65 nm low-power process keeps total FPGA power below 1.5W at full utilization, enabling fanless surveillance camera designs.
おすすめ
Portable Medical Instrumentation
The EP3C5E144C7N's low static power (typically under 100 mW at idle) and small 22x22 mm EQFP-144 package make it suitable for battery-powered medical devices such as pulse oximeters, ECG monitors, and portable ultrasound front ends. The 5,136 logic elements implement digital filtering, FFT analysis, and adaptive baseline removal on multi-channel ADC streams. The 46 embedded 18x18 multipliers accelerate biquad filter chains and wavelet transforms. On-chip PLLs generate the clock trees needed for simultaneous-sampling ADC interfaces at 1-10 MSPS, while the 94 user I/Os connect to TFT displays, touch panels, and isolated serial ports.
おすすめ
Low-Cost Software-Defined Radio (SDR) Baseband
The EP3C5E144C7N's 46 embedded 18x18 multipliers and 423 Kbits of block RAM enable low-cost SDR baseband implementations for narrowband protocols such as LoRa, Sigfox, NB-IoT, and IEEE 802.15.4 (Zigbee/Thread). The 4 PLLs generate the quadrature sample-rate clocks needed for digital downconversion and channelization. The LVDS I/O pairs interface directly to high-speed ADCs and DACs at 50-100 MSPS. Compared to a microcontroller + DSP solution, the FPGA's parallel processing enables simultaneous demodulation of multiple channels and real-time FEC decoding without timing jitter.
おすすめ
Consumer Audio/Video Processing
The EP3C5E144C7N's logic density and embedded multipliers fit consumer audio processors for HDMI upscaling, audio format conversion (Dolby Digital, DTS), and HDMI CEC bridging. The 94 user I/Os support HDMI, S/PDIF, I2S, and LVDS display interfaces simultaneously. The C7 speed grade enables 1080p60 video processing with line buffers in M9K memory. Cyclone III's low static power keeps enclosure temperatures within consumer product safety limits, while the exposed pad package simplifies thermal management in slim AV receiver chassis.
おすすめ
Industrial Networking and Protocol Bridging
The EP3C5E144C7N's 94 user I/Os and 5,136 logic elements support multi-protocol industrial gateway designs bridging EtherCAT, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, and Modbus TCP on a single device. The M9K memory blocks implement packet buffers and protocol state machines, while the LVDS I/O pairs enable MII/RGMII PHY interfacing at 1 Gbps. The C7 speed grade closes 200 MHz logic timing sufficient for line-rate protocol processing. Compared to discrete microcontrollers, the FPGA enables hardware-accelerated CRC, checksum, and protocol state management without CPU bottlenecks.

設計ノート
The EP3C5E144C7N requires separate VCCINT (1.2 V core) and VCCIO (1.5V/1.8V/2.5V/3.3V I/O bank) rails. Per the Cyclone III device datasheet, VCCINT tolerance is +/-5% and each VCCIO bank can be independently configured. Place 0.1 uF and 10 uF decoupling capacitors within 5 mm of every VCCINT/VCCIO pin pair. A ferrite bead or pi-filter on each rail is recommended for designs with high-speed LVDS or external SDRAM interfaces.
Estimated: At full utilization (5,136 LE, 46 multipliers, 250 MHz logic), the EP3C5E144C7N dissipates approximately 0.8-1.2 W. The exposed thermal pad must be soldered to a continuous ground copper pour of at least 1 square inch to maintain the C7 commercial 85C junction temperature. Without the exposed pad soldered, junction temperature can exceed 100C at moderate utilization, triggering thermal slowdown. Use 4-thermal-via array (0.3 mm drill) on the exposed pad for optimal heat transfer.
Allocate at least an 8-layer PCB stack-up with continuous GND planes for signal integrity on LVDS pairs. Per the Cyclone III device handbook, LVDS traces must be 100 ohm differential with intra-pair skew under 5 ps. Route configuration signals (TCK/TMS/TDO/TDI/nCONFIG/nSTATUS) away from high-speed switching nodes. Place the configuration flash (EPCS4/EPCS16) within 25 mm of the FPGA's active serial pins for reliable AS configuration.
Pin assignments should be planned using the Quartus II / Quartus Prime Pin Planner before PCB layout. Group high-speed I/O (LVDS, DDR/DDR2) in adjacent banks to minimize routing congestion. Per the Cyclone III device handbook, each I/O bank has dedicated VREF pins for SSTL/HSTL reference voltages - place VREF bypass capacitors (0.1 uF + 10 uF) within 3 mm of each VREF pin. Avoid routing clock signals across I/O bank boundaries to prevent skew issues.
Do not leave MSEL0/MSEL1 pins floating - they must be tied to VCCINT or GND to select the configuration mode (AS/PS/FPP/JTAG). Per the Cyclone III device handbook, floating MSEL pins cause configuration failures. The nCONFIG pin must be pulled to VCCINT through a 10 kohm resistor. Cyclone III bitstreams are NOT compatible with Cyclone IV or Cyclone V - recompile in Quartus Prime when migrating to newer families.
