EP2C50F672C7N

The EP2C50F672C7N is an Intel Cyclone® II family FPGA providing mid-range programmable logic capacity and a flexible I/O complement for embedded and DSP-focused designs. It integrates a substantial logic fabric, embedded memory and a broad I/O count in a 672-ball BGA package for surface-mount applications.

This device is targeted at low-cost embedded processing and digital signal processing solutions where designers require 50k-level logic capacity, on-chip memory for buffering or state storage, and extensive I/O while operating in commercial temperature ranges.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 50,528 logic elements delivering significant programmable logic for mid-density designs; includes 3,158 LABs for block-level organization.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 0.59 Mbits (594,432 bits) of on-chip RAM suitable for buffers, FIFOs and small on-chip data stores.
• I/O Resources — Up to 450 I/Os to support wide parallel interfaces, multiple peripherals or multi-bank I/O requirements.
• Package & Mounting — 672-BGA package (supplier device package: 672-FBGA (27x27)) optimized for surface-mount board designs.
• Power — Core voltage supply range of 1.15 V to 1.25 V to match Cyclone II core requirements.
• Operating Range & Grade — Commercial grade device rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation.
• Standards & Family Features — Cyclone II architecture features such as global clock networks, PLL support, embedded multipliers, configurable I/O controls (programmable drive strength, slew rate, bus-hold and pull-up options), and configuration/JTAG support as documented for the family.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant for lead-free manufacturing and regulatory alignment.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Processing — Implement custom control and glue logic for consumer and industrial systems requiring programmable sequencing, offload or protocol handling.
• Digital Signal Processing — Support low-cost DSP implementations using the Cyclone II family’s embedded multipliers and memory for filtering, transforms and sample buffering.
• Memory Interface & Bridge Controllers — Act as an interface or controller for external memory and bus bridges leveraging the device’s routing and I/O flexibility.
• High‑I/O Peripheral Integration — Aggregate and interface multiple peripherals or parallel buses using the device’s large I/O count and configurable I/O features.

Unique Advantages

• High logic density at mid-range cost: 50,528 logic elements enable complex combinational and sequential logic without moving to larger device families.
• On-chip memory for compact designs: Approximately 0.59 Mbits of embedded RAM reduces external memory needs for many control and DSP tasks.
• Large I/O capacity: 450 I/Os allow flexible partitioning of interfaces and parallel connectivity for multi-channel designs.
• Industry-standard BGA packaging: 672-BGA (672-FBGA, 27×27) supports reliable, dense board-level integration for surface-mount manufacturing.
• Low-voltage core operation: Operates from 1.15 V to 1.25 V core supply, aligning with Cyclone II device requirements for efficient power design.
• Documented family features: The Cyclone II device handbook includes architecture details such as clock networks, PLLs, embedded multipliers, and I/O control options to help accelerate design and integration.
