EP2C15AF256C6N

The EP2C15AF256C6N is a Cyclone II family FPGA offering a balanced mix of logic density, embedded memory and I/O for cost-sensitive embedded and DSP-oriented designs. Built on the Cyclone II architecture, the device provides 14,448 logic elements and approximately 0.24 Mbits of on-chip RAM to implement mid-range programmable logic functions.

Designed for commercial applications, the device supports a 1.15 V to 1.25 V core supply, 152 user I/O pins and is supplied in a 256-ball LBGA package (supplier device package: 256-FBGA, 17×17). The Cyclone II family includes architecture features such as phase-locked loops (PLLs), embedded multipliers and dedicated clock networks to simplify timing and signal-handling tasks.

Key Features

• Core Architecture  Cyclone II family architecture with dedicated global clock network and support for phase-locked loops (PLLs) to manage clocking and timing across designs.
• Logic Capacity  14,448 logic elements suitable for implementing a range of embedded control, glue-logic and mid-density signal-processing functions.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 0.24 Mbits of on-chip RAM for buffering, small FIFOs and local data storage.
• DSP Resources  Family-level support for embedded multipliers to accelerate numeric and DSP-oriented operations.
• I/O and Interface Options  152 I/O pins with advanced I/O capabilities noted in the Cyclone II handbook, including high-speed differential interfaces and on-chip termination options.
• Power and Voltage  Core supply range from 1.15 V to 1.25 V to match system power domains and optimize power delivery.
• Package and Mounting  Surface-mount 256-LBGA package (supplier device package: 256-FBGA, 17×17) for compact board integration.
• Operating Range & Compliance  Commercial grade operation from 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS-compliant for environmental regulatory needs.

Typical Applications

• Low-Cost Embedded Processing  Implement control logic, protocol bridges or glue functions where a mid-density FPGA and on-chip memory reduce BOM and board complexity.
• DSP and Numeric Acceleration  Use embedded multipliers and on-chip RAM to accelerate filtering, fixed-point math and small signal-processing tasks.
• Peripheral and Interface Bridging  Leverage 152 I/O pins and advanced I/O capabilities for interfacing sensors, memory devices and communication peripherals.
• Clocking-Dependent Designs  Designs that require flexible clocking or multiple clock domains can benefit from the Cyclone II global clock network and PLL support.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Integration: 14,448 logic elements combined with ~0.24 Mbits of embedded memory provide a mid-range resource set that reduces the need for external glue logic.
• Flexible I/O Count: 152 user I/O pins in a compact 256-ball LBGA package enable multiple peripheral interfaces without large board area.
• Clock and DSP Support: Family-level PLLs and embedded multipliers simplify implementation of timing-critical and DSP functions, shortening development cycles.
• Compact Packaging: 256-FBGA (17×17) supplier package supports dense PCB layouts while maintaining necessary I/O and thermal characteristics for commercial designs.
• Commercial Temperature & RoHS: Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and RoHS-compliant to meet common commercial deployment requirements.
