Product Overview
EP1C12Q240I7N is a cost-effective, low-power industrial FPGA from Altera (Intel) Cyclone® 1 family. Built on 0.13μm full copper SRAM process, it includes 12,060 logic elements and 239,616 bits embedded M4K RAM. Rated industrial-grade (-40℃~+100℃ junction temp), this 240-pin lead-free PQFP chip fits industrial control, automotive telemetry, communication conversion and test equipment with long service life requirements.
Core Advantages
Cost-Optimized Industrial Gate Density
12,060 logic elements deliver abundant digital logic at low hardware cost for prototype and mass production.
Rugged Industrial Temperature Resistance
I-grade industrial silicon maintains stable timing and low leakage over -40℃ to +100℃ wide temperature range.
Flexible On-Chip M4K Memory
Dual-port M4K RAM blocks implement FIFO, cache and shift register functions without occupying logic resources.
Easy-to-Mount PQFP Package
240-pin gull-wing PQFP simplifies PCB layout, manual debugging and SMT assembly vs BGA packages.
