EP2C5T144C7

The EP2C5T144C7 is an Intel Cyclone® II family field programmable gate array (FPGA) supplied in a 144‑lead LQFP package for surface‑mount assembly. It delivers a programmable logic fabric with 4608 logic elements and embedded on‑chip RAM to support low‑cost embedded processing and DSP‑oriented designs.

Targeted at commercial applications, this device combines a compact 144‑LQFP footprint, 89 user I/O pins, and a low core voltage range (1.15 V to 1.25 V) to help designers implement custom logic, memory, and I/O functions within constrained board space and power envelopes.

Key Features

• Core Logic 4608 logic elements provide the programmable resources needed for custom combinational and sequential logic implementations.
• On‑Chip Memory Approximately 119,808 bits of embedded RAM for implementing FIFOs, small buffers, and distributed memory functions.
• I/O Capacity 89 user I/O pins support a variety of external interfaces and board-level connectivity.
• Package & Mounting 144‑LQFP (supplier package: 144‑TQFP 20×20) in a surface‑mount configuration for compact board integration.
• Power Core supply range of 1.15 V to 1.25 V enables low‑voltage operation consistent with Cyclone II device family requirements.
• Operating Conditions Commercial grade operation from 0 °C to 85 °C, suitable for general commercial applications.
• Environmental RoHS compliant to meet common environmental and materials requirements.
• Cyclone II Family Architecture Family‑level capabilities documented in the Cyclone II Device Handbook include programmable clock networks, PLLs, embedded multipliers, and flexible I/O features such as programmable drive strength and slew‑rate control.

Typical Applications

• Low‑Cost Embedded Processing Implements custom control logic, state machines, and glue logic for cost‑sensitive embedded systems.
• DSP‑Oriented Functions Implements small signal‑processing blocks and arithmetic functions leveraging Cyclone II family embedded multiplier and memory resources.
• Interface Bridging Acts as a protocol converter or interface bridge using available I/O and on‑chip memory to buffer and reformat data between subsystems.
• Prototyping and System Integration Compact package and programmable logic make it suitable for board‑level prototyping and integration into commercial products.

Unique Advantages

• Right‑sized Logic Capacity: 4608 logic elements provide a balance of programmable resources for moderate complexity designs without excessive silicon overhead.
• Integrated Memory: ~119,808 bits of on‑chip RAM reduce the need for external memory for small buffers and control structures, simplifying BOM and board layout.
• Compact, Surface‑Mount Packaging: 144‑LQFP surface‑mount package enables dense PCB designs while keeping pin access and thermal management straightforward.
• Commercial Temperature Range: Specified operation from 0 °C to 85 °C aligns with general commercial product deployment requirements.
• Family‑Level Timing and I/O Features: Cyclone II architecture provides programmable clock networks and I/O controls (PLLs, drive strength, slew rate) to help meet timing and interface needs.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets common environmental material requirements for commercial manufacturing and distribution.
