The EP1C12Q240C8 IC component is a member of the Cyclone series of programmable logic devices (PLDs) developed by Altera (now part of Intel). This IC is built on a 1.2-Volt core and fabricated using the 0.13µm process technology.
Key features of the EP1C12Q240C8 IC include:
1. Logic Capacity: The EP1C12Q240C8 IC has a reasonably large logic capacity, allowing for complex digital designs. It contains approximately 12,060 logic elements (LEs) that can be configured to perform various digital functions.
2. Memory: This IC incorporates 276 kilobits of embedded memory, which can be used as either distributed memory or as RAM blocks or FIFO buffers, enhancing its overall versatility.
3. Clocking Resources: It offers a rich set of clocking resources comprising three global clock networks, each with up to sixteen outputs, and up to 10 phase-locked loops (PLLs). These resources enable precise control and distribution of clock signals within the system.
4. High-Speed Transceivers: The EP1C12Q240C8 IC includes four high-speed serial transceiver channels, supporting data rates up to 622 Mbps (mega bits per second). These transceivers enable communication with external devices or inter-chip communication at high speeds
