EP3C25F324C7N - 24,624-Cell Cyclone III FPGA | Intel
Intel EP3C25F324C7N is a Cyclone III field-programmable gate array containing 24,624 logic cells, 608,256 bits of embedded memory, and 215 available I/O pins. The verified data identifies a 437.5 MHz device built on 65 nm technology with a 1.2 V core supply and a 324-ball FBGA package. It is a programmable-logic IC intended for engineers implementing configurable digital logic, interface bridging, control processing, and application-specific signal processing.
A field-programmable gate array, or FPGA, is a semiconductor device whose logic functions are defined by configuration rather than fixed internal connections. Its hierarchy extends from programmable logic cells to configurable interconnects, embedded memory, I/O blocks, and a complete programmable-logic IC. Unlike an ASIC, an FPGA can be reprogrammed during development and after deployment. Compared with a fixed microcontroller, an FPGA generally provides parallel hardware execution and finely timed I/O, while trade-offs include higher power consumption, configuration requirements, and more complex implementation software.
The principal verified resources are 24,624 logic cells and 608,256 memory bits, with 215 I/O pins available for external connectivity. The 324-ball FBGA package supports a substantial number of package-level connections while using surface-mount assembly. The supplied data also identifies a 437.5 MHz frequency and 65 nm process technology. These resources make the device suitable for datapaths that need more concurrent logic than a small programmable device but do not justify the cost and development cycle of a custom ASIC.
Cyclone III architecture combines programmable logic arrays, routing resources, embedded memory, and programmable I/O elements. A design is captured with an FPGA development flow, synthesized into logic, mapped and placed onto available resources, routed through the device interconnect, and then loaded into configuration memory. Engineers must analyze timing closure, power, signal integrity, and configuration implementation together; an apparently efficient register-transfer design can still fail timing if fan-out, routing congestion, or unsuitable I/O constraints are ignored.
Typical uses include industrial control, communications equipment, video or imaging preprocessing, test and measurement, and legacy interface emulation. The combination of 24,624 logic cells, 608,256 embedded memory bits, and 215 I/Os is relevant to glue-logic aggregation, protocol conversion, parallel acquisition, and state-machine-rich controllers. For a new high-volume product, however, lifecycle, migration, and total-cost studies are important before committing the design.
PCB design should prioritize continuous power distribution, controlled-impedance connections, and clean clock routing. Because the available verified data does not provide detailed electrical limits, pin functions, configuration-interface requirements, thermal limits, or package dimensions, those values must be confirmed from the manufacturer datasheet before schematic release. Do not infer BGA ball assignments from the package name alone.
This product page combines verified distributor specifications, availability signals, package context, and transparent engineering notes. Pricing is reported as of 2026-09-09, while distributor stock and lead time remain dynamic. The manufacturer ordering code, package, device family, logic-cell count, embedded memory, I/O count, process node, supply voltage, and frequency are the attributes most useful for initial device selection.
