Product Overview

The EP3C40Q240C8N is a high-performance, low-power FPGA belonging to Intel (formerly Altera) Cyclone® III family. Built on TSMC 65nm low-power process, it comes with 39,600 Logic Elements and 128 user I/Os in a 240-PQFP package. Integrated embedded memory and dedicated DSP blocks make it ideal for cost-sensitive, low-power industrial, automotive and communication applications.

Core Advantages

High Logic Density & Efficient Memory Architecture

39,600 Logic Elements and over 1.16 Mbit embedded RAM support complex algorithm processing and high-speed data buffering.

Optimized Low Power Design

The 65nm low-power process cuts static & dynamic power consumption and eases thermal management requirements.

Enhanced DSP Performance

Built-in 18×18 embedded multipliers accelerate signal processing, video filtering and motor control algorithms.

Flexible Multi-Standard I/O Interface

128 user I/O pins support single-ended and differential standards to interface with processors, memory and high-speed peripherals.
