EP3C80F484C8N Tóm tắt

The Intel (formerly Altera) EP3C80F484C8N is a Cyclone III family Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) fabricated on a low-power 65 nm process, offering 81,264 logic elements, 2,810,880 bits of embedded memory, and 295 user I/O pins in a 484-ball FineLine BGA package. The device integrates 244 embedded 18x18 multipliers and a rich mix of PLLs, global clock networks, and high-speed LVDS interfaces that are well-suited for cost-sensitive, high-volume digital designs.

An FPGA is a reprogrammable semiconductor device built from an array of configurable logic blocks (CLBs) interconnected by a programmable routing fabric. In the system hierarchy it sits between ASICs (highest performance, highest NRE) and microcontrollers (lowest flexibility, lowest unit cost) and is the workhorse for parallel data paths, custom interfaces, and DSP pipelines. The Cyclone III family specifically targets applications that need tens of thousands of logic elements, embedded memory and multipliers without the power and cost of a mid-range FPGA.

Key features include 81,264 logic elements, 2,810,880 RAM bits distributed in M9K blocks, 244 embedded 18 x 18 multipliers, four general-purpose PLLs, 20 global clock networks, and support for LVDS, LVTTL, LVCMOS, SSTL, and HSTL I/O standards. The device supports up to 402 MHz internal operation and operates from a 1.2 V core supply. Configuration can be loaded through JTAG, Active Serial (AS), or Passive Serial (PS) modes using external flash.

Typical applications for the EP3C80F484C8N span industrial control and machine vision, video processing and display pipelines, telecommunications line cards, motor and motion control, test and measurement instrumentation, and entry-level DSP cards. The combination of embedded multipliers and distributed RAM allows designers to implement FIR filters, FFT engines, and image-processing kernels without external DSP chips.

When designing with this part, pay attention to the 484-FBGA ball pitch (typically 1.0 mm) and follow Intel's PCB layout and decoupling guidelines to maintain signal integrity on LVDS pairs. The device is lead-free / RoHS compliant and supports commercial (0 C to 85 C) operating temperature range as denoted by the 'C8' speed-grade suffix.

What is the EP3C80F484C8N and what family does it belong to?
The EP3C80F484C8N is a Cyclone III family FPGA from Intel (formerly Altera). According to the manufacturer datasheet, it integrates 81,264 logic elements, 2,810,880 bits of embedded RAM, 244 18x18 multipliers, 4 PLLs, and supports up to 402 MHz operation in a 484-ball FBGA package for cost-sensitive, high-volume designs.
What is the operating voltage of the EP3C80F484C8N?
The EP3C80F484C8N operates from a 1.2 V core supply and supports I/O voltages that are bank-dependent, typically 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V. Per the Cyclone III handbook, the device also requires a 2.5 V analog PLL supply and 3.3 V configuration supply, which must be sequenced correctly during power-up to avoid inrush current and latch-up.
How many user I/O pins does the EP3C80F484C8N have?
The EP3C80F484C8N exposes 295 general-purpose user I/O pins across its 484-ball FineLine BGA package. The remaining balls are dedicated to power, ground, configuration, and JTAG signals, so designers should plan their pinout against the device pin-out file rather than assume all 484 balls are usable.
What is the difference between EP3C80F484C8N and EP3C80F484C7N?
The only difference is the speed grade: EP3C80F484C8N is speed grade 8 (faster, higher core performance), while EP3C80F484C7N is speed grade 7. Both share identical 81,264 logic elements, 295 user I/Os, and 484-FBGA package, making them drop-in compatible when timing closure allows the slower part.
Is there a drop-in replacement for the EP3C80F484C8N in the same 484-FBGA?
Yes. EP3C80F484C7N, EP3C80F484C6N, and EP3C80F484I7N all share the same 484-FBGA footprint and 81,264 logic elements. They differ only in speed grade and operating temperature (commercial vs. industrial), so they are true drop-in alternatives when timing and temperature budgets permit.
Where can I buy the EP3C80F484C8N and what is the price?
The EP3C80F484C8N is available from authorized distributors including DigiKey and Mouser, with current stock levels around the low thousands of units as of 2026-09-09. Pricing starts at approximately 308.90 USD per unit at qty-1, falling to about 208.75 USD at qty-1000, though the part is now in NRND (Not Recommended for New Designs).
What is the lead time for EP3C80F484C8N orders?
Distributor Heisener indicates the EP3C80F484C8N can ship immediately from stock as of 2026-09-09, with estimated delivery within 3-5 business days. Because the part is NRND, buyers should consider qualifying a successor such as Cyclone IV E EP4CE80F23C8N or Cyclone 10 LP 10CL080YU484C6G.
EP3C80F484C8N vs EP4CE80F23C8N - which is better for new designs?
For new designs, the EP4CE80F23C8N (Cyclone IV E) is the recommended successor because it offers similar 80K logic-element density with lower static power and longer lifecycle support. The EP3C80F484C8N remains valid for legacy systems, but Cyclone IV E replaces it with a more modern process and active manufacturer support.
Can the EP3C80F484C8N be replaced by a Xilinx Spartan-6 part?
Functionally, the Xilinx Spartan-6 XC6SLX75 is the closest cross-family alternative with similar logic density, but it is NOT a drop-in replacement because the BGA pinout, bitstream format, configuration interface, and JTAG ID differ. A cross-brand swap requires a full PCB redesign and toolchain migration to ISE or Vivado.
What is the best Intel/Altera drop-in replacement for EP3C80F484C8N?
The best drop-in replacement is the EP3C80F484C6N: same 484-FBGA package, same 81,264 logic elements, same 295 user I/Os, but a slower speed grade that can still meet timing in many designs. Where industrial temperature is required, EP3C80F484I7N replaces it pin-for-pin in the same footprint with -40 C to +100 C support.
Where can I download the EP3C80F484C8N datasheet PDF?
The Cyclone III Device Handbook (which covers the EP3C80F484C8N) is published by Intel at intel.com in the Programmable Solutions documentation library. The Alldatasheet mirror also lists the family datasheet at approximately 7.3 MB, while Octopart and DigiKey provide the device-specific datasheet on their product pages.
What is the pinout configuration of the EP3C80F484C8N?
The EP3C80F484C8N uses a 484-ball FineLine BGA with 1.0 mm ball pitch. Per the Cyclone III pin connection guidelines, balls are arranged in a 22 x 22 array with the center row removed; pin numbers, bank assignments, and ball coordinates are given in the Cyclone III pin-out file on the Intel FPGA website.
How much embedded memory does the EP3C80F484C8N have?
According to the manufacturer datasheet, the EP3C80F484C8N integrates 2,810,880 bits of embedded SRAM organized as M9K blocks (9 Kbit each, approximately 312 blocks). The memory can be configured as RAM, ROM, shift registers, or FIFO buffers and supports single-port, dual-port, and true dual-port modes.
Is the EP3C80F484C8N suitable for video processing applications?
Yes. The EP3C80F484C8N's 81,264 logic elements, 244 18x18 hardware multipliers, and 2.81 Mbit embedded memory make it well suited for video pipelines, image preprocessing, and SD/HD video overlays. The device supports LVDS pairs up to 805 Mbps, enabling direct connection to common image sensors and HDMI/DVI bridges.
What configuration modes does the EP3C80F484C8N support?
The EP3C80F484C8N supports Active Serial (AS), Passive Serial (PS), and JTAG configuration. In AS mode the FPGA boots from a serial flash such as EPCS16 or EPCS64; in PS mode an external host or microcontroller streams the bitstream; JTAG is used for boundary-scan, debug, and in-system programming via USB-Blaster.

Hướng dẫn chọn lựa

Choose the EP3C80F484C8N when you need the highest-density Cyclone III device in the 484-FBGA package and your design runs within commercial temperature (0 C to 85 C). The speed-grade 8 suffix means this is the fastest EP3C80 variant, making it the right choice when timing closure on the slower C7 or C6 is borderline. If you need industrial temperature, switch to the EP3C80F484I7N, which is drop-in pin-compatible and adds -40 C to 100 C support. For cost-sensitive designs that don't need full 81K LE density, the EP3C55F484C8N is also drop-in in the same 484-FBGA footprint. For new designs, however, consider migrating to Cyclone IV E (EP4CE80F23C8N) or Cyclone 10 LP (10CL080YU484C6G) because the entire Cyclone III family is now in NRND status with limited long-term support.

Ghi chú thiết kế

Estimated: with core VCCINT at 1.2 V and typical utilization around 50%, the EP3C80F484C8N draws approximately 0.6-0.9 A from the core rail and 50-200 mA from VCCAUX (2.5 V). Designers must provide at least 22 uF of bulk decoupling plus 0.1 uF and 0.01 uF high-frequency caps near each power pin group. Power sequencing should follow the Cyclone III handbook: VCCINT must come up before or simultaneously with VCCAUX and VCCIO to prevent latch-up.

The 484-FBGA uses 1.0 mm ball pitch and requires a 4-6 layer PCB with controlled-impedance routing for LVDS pairs (typically 100 ohm differential). Use micro-vias or sub-0.5 mm trace-and-space to fan-out the inner ball rows; keep all length matching within 150 mils for DDR-grade LVDS signals. Mount the device on a symmetrical land pattern and avoid routing high-speed signals under the package to reduce crosstalk and return-path discontinuity.

Do not assume all 484 BGA balls are usable I/O: roughly 25-30% are power, ground, configuration, or no-connects. Estimate: a typical 484-FBGA Cyclone III device exposes 295-314 user I/Os, with the remaining balls reserved. Also avoid placing the JTAG chain on a shared bus if any device is in reset, since the chain will appear broken to the programmer.

Estimated: at 1.2 V core and 0.8 A draw, power dissipation is approximately 1.0 W, plus dynamic power that scales with toggle rate and utilization. The 484-FBGA has a junction-to-ambient theta-JA around 15-20 C/W with standard JEDEC PCB, so a heatsink is usually not required but thermal vias under the package thermal pad are recommended to keep junction temperature below 85 C in commercial-temperature applications.
