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:
■
■
With densities ranging from 5K to 200K logic elements (LEs) and 0.5 Mbits to 8 Mbits
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.
