EP2C5T144C7N

The EP2C5T144C7N is an Intel Cyclone® II field programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 144-pin LQFP package designed for commercial applications. It provides a mid-density programmable fabric with on-chip memory and configurable I/O for embedded processing and DSP-focused designs.

Built to support configurable logic, memory, and I/O functions on a single device, this Cyclone II device targets cost-sensitive embedded systems that require flexible hardware implementation and vendor-backed documentation and tools.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — Approximately 4,608 logic elements to implement glue logic, controllers, and custom datapaths.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 0.12 Mbits (119,808 bits) of on-chip RAM for FIFOs, small buffers, and state storage.
• I/O Count & Flexibility — 89 user I/O pins to interface with peripherals, buses, and external devices; supports multiple programmable I/O standards as described in Cyclone II documentation.
• Clocking and DSP Support — Device architecture includes global clock networks and integrated PLLs plus embedded multiplier resources referenced in Cyclone II device documentation for DSP and clocking tasks.
• Power Supply — Core operating voltage range of 1.15 V to 1.25 V to match system power rails and ensure predictable power behavior.
• Package and Mount — Commercial-grade 144-pin LQFP package (supplier package listed as 144-TQFP, 20 × 20 mm) with surface-mount mounting suitable for standard PCB assembly processes.
• Operating Range & Compliance — Commercial operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS-compliant.
• Configuration & Test Features — Supports standard FPGA configuration and JTAG boundary-scan features as part of the Cyclone II device family documentation.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Control — Implement control logic, protocol bridges, and custom peripheral controllers for consumer and commercial equipment.
• Low-Cost DSP — Use embedded multipliers and on-chip memory for signal-processing blocks, filters, and small DSP pipelines in cost-sensitive designs.
• Interface Bridging — Provide parallelization, protocol conversion, and custom I/O handling between microcontrollers, sensors, and external memories.
• Prototyping and Development — Suitable for early-stage hardware validation and algorithm-offload tasks where reprogrammability and moderate logic density are required.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory Mix — Approximately 4,608 logic elements combined with ~0.12 Mbits of embedded RAM gives designers room to implement control logic alongside data buffering without external SRAM for many mid-range tasks.
• Configurable I/O Count — 89 I/O pins allow direct connectivity to a wide range of peripherals and sensors, reducing the need for external interface chips in many designs.
• Deterministic Power Range — Documented core voltage window of 1.15 V to 1.25 V supports stable power budgeting and predictable motor, sensor, or interface integration.
• Commercial Temperature and RoHS Compliance — Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and RoHS-compliant, aligning with commercial product manufacturing and environmental requirements.
• Compact, Surface-Mount Package — The 144-pin LQFP/TQFP footprint enables a compact PCB layout while keeping pin accessibility for prototyping and production assemblies.
