EP2C5Q208I8N

The EP2C5Q208I8N is a Cyclone II family FPGA offering a mid-range integration of programmable logic, embedded memory, and flexible I/O in a 208‑pin BFQFP package. It is designed for low-cost embedded processing and DSP-focused applications where compact logic density, on-chip RAM, and robust I/O are required.

Built around the Cyclone II architecture, this device targets applications that benefit from integrated clock management, embedded multipliers and memory resources while operating across a wide industrial temperature range.

Key Features

• Core Logic  288 LABs comprising 4,608 logic elements provide the programmable fabric for custom logic, control, and glue‑logic implementations.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 0.12 Mbits of on‑chip RAM (119,808 bits) for data buffering, FIFOs, and small memory structures within the FPGA.
• I/O Capacity & Flexibility  142 user I/O pins with Cyclone II I/O structure features such as multi‑volt I/O, programmable drive strength, pull‑ups, and advanced I/O standard support.
• Clocking & DSP Support  Architecture includes a global clock network and PLLs along with embedded multiplier resources and DSP‑oriented routing to support deterministic clock distribution and arithmetic operations.
• Power  Core voltage supply range of 1.15 V to 1.25 V to match Cyclone II power domains and system requirements.
• Package & Mounting  Surface‑mount 208‑BFQFP (supplier device package: 208‑PQFP, 28×28) for board‑level integration in compact designs.
• Industrial Grade  Rated for operation from −40 °C to 100 °C, suitable for industrial temperature environments.
• Configuration & Test  Cyclone II family documentation includes configuration, JTAG boundary scan, and device testing features for development and production workflows.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Processing Systems  Implement control logic, protocol handling, and glue logic using on‑chip logic and memory resources.
• Digital Signal Processing (DSP)  Leverage embedded multipliers and the global clock network to accelerate medium‑complexity DSP tasks in cost‑sensitive designs.
• Interface Bridging & Memory Controllers  Use flexible I/O and embedded RAM to implement protocol translators, buffering, and external memory interface logic.
• Industrial Control & Monitoring  Industrial temperature rating and surface‑mount package make the device suitable for controllers, I/O modules, and instrumentation.

Unique Advantages

• Compact Logic Density: 4,608 logic elements in 288 LABs allow implementation of substantial custom logic while keeping board area and BOM count low.
• On‑Chip Memory: Approximately 0.12 Mbits of embedded RAM reduces external memory dependency for buffering and local data storage.
• Flexible I/O: 142 I/O pins with multi‑voltage and programmable drive options enable interfacing to a broad range of peripherals and bus standards.
• Clocking and DSP Resources: Integrated PLLs, a global clock network, and embedded multipliers support deterministic timing and arithmetic acceleration for signal processing tasks.
• Industrial Reliability: Rated to operate from −40 °C to 100 °C, suitable for industrial environments and extended temperature operation.
• Board‑Level Integration: Surface‑mount 208‑BFQFP package (28×28 PQFP footprint) eases placement in compact and cost‑sensitive board designs.
