EP3C25F256C7 - 24,624 LEs Cyclone III FPGA | Altera
The Altera EP3C25F256C7 is a Cyclone III field-programmable gate array with 24,624 logic elements, 608,256 memory bits, and 256 I/O pins in a 256-LBGA package. It provides a programmable logic platform for embedded control, communications, signal processing, and industrial equipment where parallel programmable logic is required. The verified device record identifies 156 logic blocks and a -40°C to +125°C operating-temperature range.
A field-programmable gate array is a semiconductor device whose digital logic, interconnects, and I/O behavior can be configured after manufacture. Within the product hierarchy, an FPGA is a programmable logic IC, which is a semiconductor and a form of programmable digital hardware. Cyclone III devices combine configurable logic, embedded memory, and programmable I/O in a single integrated circuit, reducing the number of external components required in systems that need flexible hardware behavior or late design changes.
The EP3C25F256C7 provides 24,624 logic elements, 608,256 memory bits, and 156 logic blocks. Its 256-LBGA package supports 256 device terminals and is identified as surface mount and lead-free in the supplied data. These resources make the device relevant to control logic, protocol bridging, test equipment, industrial automation, communications infrastructure, and embedded systems that require a reusable hardware platform. The operating range of -40°C to +125°C supports applications spanning industrial temperature environments.
The Cyclone III architecture combines configurable logic blocks with embedded memory resources and programmable input/output structures. This allows design logic to be implemented in parallel rather than entirely as sequential processor instructions. The EP3C25F256C7 should be configured for its intended clocking, I/O standards, memory interface, and system timing before operation. Detailed voltage ratings, supported I/O standards, speed-dependent timing, configuration methods, and power consumption were not included in the verified records and must therefore be confirmed in the manufacturer device documentation before design release.
Typical applications include industrial factory controllers, communication line cards, instrumentation and test systems, network-interface subsystems, embedded video control, and general-purpose digital signal-processing platforms. The 24,624 logic elements provide substantial parallel-processing capacity, while 608,256 memory bits can support buffering, lookup tables, packet storage, or state-machine data. The 256-terminal package also offers a broad interface footprint for external memory, transceivers, clocks, and data buses.
A key design consideration is power and thermal planning. The verified data does not provide core voltage, I/O voltage, quiescent power, or active power, so engineers should not estimate those values from generic Cyclone III data without checking the exact device, speed grade, package, and configuration. Likewise, the 256-LBGA package requires a qualified PCB layout with controlled escape routing, power and ground distribution, thermal analysis, and assembly-process controls. Configuration storage, JTAG access, clocking, decoupling, and I/O standards must all be verified against the official documentation.
This page combines the supplied distributor specifications, verified package and temperature details, available cross-reference candidates, and practical engineering cautions that are not consolidated in a typical distributor listing. It distinguishes verified characteristics from unavailable electrical details so engineers can assess fit, identify missing data, and plan a responsible migration or qualification process.
