EP2C5T144I8N

The EP2C5T144I8N is an Intel Cyclone® II field programmable gate array (FPGA) device designed for cost-sensitive embedded and DSP-centric designs. It delivers 4,608 logic elements with family-level architecture features such as embedded memory blocks, multipliers, PLLs and a global clock network documented in the Cyclone II Device Handbook.

Targeted at industrial applications, this surface-mount device combines mid-range logic capacity, I/O density and an industrial operating temperature range to support system-level glue logic, embedded processing and memory-interface functions.

Key Features

• Core Logic  4,608 logic elements and 288 logic array blocks (LABs) provide the fabric for custom digital logic and control functions.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 0.12 Mbits (119,808 bits) of on-chip RAM for buffering, FIFOs and small data storage.
• I/O and Packaging  89 user I/O pins in a 144-LQFP package (supplier device package listed as 144-TQFP, 20×20); surface-mount mounting type simplifies PCB assembly.
• Power  Low-voltage core operation with a supply range of 1.15 V to 1.25 V to match system power rails and reduce core power draw where applicable.
• Temperature and Reliability  Industrial-grade operating temperature range from –40 °C to 100 °C for deployment in demanding environments.
• Cyclone II Family Architecture  Family-level features documented in the device handbook include embedded multipliers, M4K memory routing interfaces, PLLs, global clock networks and JTAG boundary-scan support for configuration and testing.
• Environmental Compliance  RoHS compliant, supporting regulatory requirements for lead-free assembly.

Typical Applications

• Low-Cost Embedded Processing  Implement compact embedded controllers, state machines and glue logic using the Cyclone II logic fabric and on-chip memory.
• DSP and Signal Processing  Use the device’s family-level embedded multipliers and logic resources for low-cost DSP tasks and fixed-point processing pipelines.
• External Memory Interfacing  Serve as interface logic between system controllers and external memories, leveraging the device family’s memory interface features.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory: 4,608 logic elements combined with approximately 0.12 Mbits of embedded RAM provide a practical mix for mid-range control and buffering tasks.
