Cyclone® III Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC 156 608256 24624 256-LFBGA

Cyclone III Device Family Overview

Cyclone® III device family offers a unique combination of high functionality, low

power and low cost. Based on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company

(TSMC) low-power (LP) process technology, silicon optimizations and software

features to minimize power consumption, Cyclone III device family provides the ideal

solution for your high-volume, low-power, and cost-sensitive applications. To address

the unique design needs, Cyclone III device family offers the following two variants:

■ Cyclone III—lowest power, high functionality with the lowest cost

■ Cyclone III LS—lowest power FPGAs with security

With densities ranging from about 5,000 to 200,000 logic elements (LEs) and

0.5 Megabits (Mb) to 8 Mb of memory for less than ¼ watt of static power

consumption, Cyclone III device family makes it easier for you to meet your power

budget. Cyclone III LS devices are the first to implement a suite of security features at

the silicon, software, and intellectual property (IP) level on a low-power and

high-functionality FPGA platform. This suite of security features protects the IP from

tampering, reverse engineering and cloning. In addition, Cyclone III LS devices

support design separation which enables you to introduce redundancy in a single

chip to reduce size, weight, and power of your application.

software

■ Design separation flow achieves both physical and functional isolation

between design partitions

■ Ability to disable external JTAG port

■ Error Detection (ED) Cycle Indicator to core

Operating Conditions

When Cyclone IV devices are implemented in a system, they are rated according to a

set of defined parameters. To maintain the highest possible performance and

reliability of Cyclone IV devices, you must consider the operating requirements

described in this chapter.

Cyclone IV devices are offered in commercial, industrial, extended industrial and,

automotive grades. Cyclone IV E devices offer –6 (fastest), –7, –8, –8L, and –9L speed

grades for commercial devices, –8L speed grades for industrial devices, and –7 speed

grade for extended industrial and automotive devices. Cyclone IV GX devices offer

–6 (fastest), –7, and –8 speed grades for commercial devices and –7 speed grade for

industrial devices.

Cyclone IV E devices are offered in core voltages of 1.0 and 1.2 V. Cyclone IV E

devices with a core voltage of 1.0 V have an ‘L’ prefix attached to the speed grade.

In this chapter, a prefix associated with the operating temperature range is attached to

the speed grades; commercial with a “C” prefix, industrial with an “I” prefix, and

automotive with an “A” prefix. Therefore, commercial devices are indicated as C6, C7,

C8, C8L, or C9L per respective speed grade. Industrial devices are indicated as I7, I8,

or I8L. Automotive devices are indicated as A7.

Cyclone IV E industrial devices I7 are offered with extended operating temperature range.
