DESCRIPTION

· Cyclone III device family offers high functionality, low power, and low cost.

· Based on TSMC low-power process technology, optimized for minimal power consumption.

· Ideal for high-volume, low-power, and cost-sensitive applications.

FEATURES

· Two variants: Cyclone III (lowest power, high functionality, lowest cost) and Cyclone III LS (lowest power with security).

· Densities range from 5K to 200K logic elements and 0.5 Mbits to 8 Mbits of memory.

· Static power consumption less than ¼ watt.

· Cyclone III LS includes security features at silicon, software, and IP levels.

· Supports design separation for redundancy in a single chip.

APPLICATIONS

· Portable and handheld applications with extended battery life.

· Applications requiring reduced or eliminated cooling system costs.

· Operation in thermally-challenged environments.

· Supports hot-socketing operation.
