The EP1C3T144C7N is an IC (integrated circuit) component manufactured by Altera (now Intel). It belongs to the Cyclone series of field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). FPGAs are programmable logic devices that allow users to create custom digital circuits by configuring the logic gates and interconnections on the chip. The EP1C3T144C7N offers a range of features and capabilities that make it suitable for various applications. Here are some key features:
1. Logic Capacity: The EP1C3T144C7N has a logic capacity of 3,125 logic elements (LEs). This refers to the number of basic building blocks or lookup tables (LUTs) available for implementing digital functions.
2. Speed Grade: The "C7" in the component name represents the speed grade of the FPGA. It indicates the maximum operating frequency at which the device can reliably function. The C7 speed grade is capable of operating at high frequencies, making it suitable for demanding applications.
3. Package and Pin Count: The "T144" in the component name refers to the package type and pin count. The EP1C3T144C7N comes in a 144-pin Thin Quad Flat Pack (TQFP) package, which provides a compact form factor and facilitates easy soldering onto a printed circuit board (PCB)
