The IC component EP3C25F256C8N is a high-performance field-programmable gate array (FPGA) manufactured by Altera Corporation. It is a member of the Cyclone III family and is designed for a wide range of applications including telecommunications, automotive, industrial, and more.
Key Features:
1. FPGA Architecture: The EP3C25F256C8N utilizes a unique adaptive logic module (ALM) architecture to provide flexible and efficient logic implementation. It includes logic elements, dedicated memory blocks, and digital signal processing (DSP) blocks that can be configured to meet specific application requirements.
2. Logic Capacity: This IC component has a logic capacity of 24,624 equivalent LEs (Logic Elements). LEs are the basic building blocks of an FPGA that can function as lookup tables, flip-flops, or combination logic.
3. Embedded Memory: It offers 223,200 bits of on-chip memory, which can be used for tasks such as data buffering, storing lookup tables, or implementing FIFOs (First-In-First-Out) buffers. The memory blocks can also be cascaded to create larger memory arrays.
4. Integrated Hard PCI Express (PCIe) IP: The EP3C25F256C8N includes a hard IP block for implementing PCIe interfaces. This allows for fast and efficient communication with other devices that support PCIe, such as high-speed data acquisition systems or peripherals
