EP2C20F484C8N

The EP2C20F484C8N is a Cyclone® II series field programmable gate array (FPGA) optimized for low-cost embedded processing and DSP-focused solutions. It provides a balance of logic capacity, on-chip memory, and flexible I/O to address medium-density logic and interface tasks in commercial applications.

With 18,752 logic elements, approximately 0.24 Mbits of embedded memory, and 315 general-purpose I/Os in a 484-ball BGA package, this device targets designs that require substantial programmable logic, plentiful I/O, and configurable clocking and memory resources.

Key Features

• Core Logic  Provides 18,752 logic elements for implementing combinational and sequential logic, state machines, and custom datapaths.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 0.24 Mbits of on-chip RAM organized for embedded memory use and external-memory interfacing as described in device documentation.
• I/O Density  315 I/O pins support diverse peripheral and bus connections for system integration and high-density interface requirements.
• Clocking and PLLs  Includes a global clock network and phase-locked loop (PLL) features for flexible clock distribution and clock management (series-level feature).
• Advanced I/O Features  Series documentation notes support for programmable drive strength, slew-rate control, bus-hold, programmable pull-ups, and series on-chip termination for robust I/O integration.
• Embedded DSP Support  Cyclone II family architecture includes embedded multipliers and DSP-oriented features suitable for low-cost DSP solutions (series-level feature).
• Power and Package  Operates from a core supply of 1.15 V to 1.25 V and is supplied in a 484-FBGA (23×23) surface-mount package (484-BGA case) for compact board-level integration.
• Commercial Grade & Compliance  Rated for commercial operating temperatures (0 °C to 85 °C) and RoHS compliant for regulatory conformance.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Processing  Low-cost embedded controllers and system logic that leverage the Cyclone II architecture for control, glue logic, and protocol handling.
• DSP and Signal Processing  Signal-processing and filtering tasks that use the device’s embedded multipliers and memory resources for efficient datapath implementation.
• Memory Interface Controllers  External memory interfacing and buffering functions supported by on-chip memory and documented external-memory interfacing guidance.
• High-Density I/O Bridging  Applications requiring many general-purpose I/Os for peripheral aggregation, bus bridging, or multi-device interconnects benefit from the 315 I/O pins.

Unique Advantages

• Substantial Logic Capacity: 18,752 logic elements provide ample programmable resources for medium-complexity designs without external ASIC development.
• Integrated Memory Resources: Approximately 0.24 Mbits of embedded RAM reduces external memory dependence and simplifies board-level BOM.
• High I/O Count: 315 I/Os enable flexible interfacing to sensors, peripherals, and external devices, minimizing the need for additional I/O expanders.
• Flexible Clocking: Global clock network and PLL support provide configurable clock distribution for synchronized multi-domain designs.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package: The 484-FBGA (23×23) package balances pin count and board space for dense system designs.
• Commercial Temperature & RoHS Compliance: Designed for commercial environments (0 °C to 85 °C) and RoHS compliant for regulatory alignment.
