The EP3C5E144C8 is an integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by Intel Corporation. It belongs to the Cyclone III family of Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). FPGAs are programmable logic devices that can be configured to implement various digital circuits and systems.
Key features of the EP3C5E144C8 include:
1. Logic Elements: It contains 5,120 programmable logic elements (LEs) that can be used to implement complex digital circuits. LEs are the fundamental building blocks of FPGAs and consist of Look-up Tables (LUTs) and flip-flops.
2. Memory: The IC offers 371,200 bits of memory (RAM) that can be used for data storage or as lookup tables. It also includes 4 embedded multipliers that allow for efficient implementation of arithmetic functions.
3. Clocking and PLLs: The IC supports up to 8 global clock networks and provides 4 Phase-Locked Loops (PLLs). PLLs can generate stable clock signals at different frequencies and phases, enabling synchronous operation of various circuit blocks.
4. I/O Interfaces: The EP3C5E144C8 offers 55 general-purpose I/O pins that can be used for communication with external devices. These pins support various voltage standards and can be configured for different signal types, including single-ended or differential signals
