EP2C50F484C8

The EP2C50F484C8 is a Cyclone® II field‑programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 484‑ball BGA package designed for commercial embedded and DSP applications. It integrates 50,528 logic elements, substantial on‑chip memory, and a large I/O count to support complex logic, memory interfacing, and high‑speed I/O functions within a compact surface‑mount package.

Built on the Cyclone II architecture, this device targets low‑cost embedded processing and DSP use cases while providing documented architecture features such as a global clock network, PLLs, embedded multipliers, and M4K embedded memory blocks.

Key Features

• Core Capacity  50,528 logic elements for implementing complex state machines, control logic, and custom datapaths.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 0.57 Mbits of on‑chip RAM (594,432 bits) organized with M4K memory blocks as described in the Cyclone II device handbook.
• I/O Density and Flexibility  294 I/O pins to support broad interface requirements; the Cyclone II architecture includes support for advanced I/O standards and high‑speed differential interfaces.
• Clocking and Timing  Global clock network and integrated PLLs provide flexible clock distribution and phase‑locked loop functionality for timing and clock management.
• Embedded DSP Resources  Dedicated embedded multipliers for accelerating arithmetic and signal‑processing operations as described in the device handbook.
• Configuration & Test  IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) boundary‑scan support and multiple configuration schemes documented for programming and in‑system test.
• Package & Mounting  484‑FBGA (23×23) surface‑mount package (484‑BGA) for compact board integration.
• Power and Operating Range  Core supply voltage range 1.15 V to 1.25 V; commercial operating temperature range 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Environmental Compliance  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Processing  Implement low‑cost embedded controllers and custom processing cores using the Cyclone II architecture and significant logic capacity.
• DSP and Signal Processing  Use embedded multipliers and on‑chip memory to implement filters, arithmetic pipelines, and other DSP functions.
• High‑Density I/O and Memory Interfaces  Leverage 294 I/Os and Cyclone II external memory interfacing features for board‑level bridging, bus control, and memory controllers.
• Custom Logic and Control  Deploy the device for complex state machines, protocol bridging, and application‑specific accelerators that require combined logic, memory, and I/O.

Unique Advantages

• Significant Logic Capacity: 50,528 logic elements enable implementation of large custom designs without external glue logic.
• Integrated Memory and DSP Resources: Approximately 0.57 Mbits of embedded RAM plus embedded multipliers support memory‑intensive and arithmetic workloads on‑chip.
• High I/O Count: 294 I/Os provide flexibility for multiple parallel interfaces, external memory buses, and mixed‑signal board designs.
• Documented Architecture: Features such as the global clock network, PLLs, M4K memory blocks, and configuration options are detailed in the Cyclone II device handbook for design planning and implementation.
• Compact BGA Package: 484‑FBGA (23×23) surface‑mount package reduces PCB footprint while maintaining routing density for complex designs.
• Commercial Grade and Compliance: Designed for commercial temperature ranges (0 °C to 85 °C) and RoHS compliant for regulatory alignment.
