EP2C8Q208I8

The EP2C8Q208I8 is an Intel Cyclone II FPGA in a 208-BFQFP surface-mount package, designed for low-cost embedded processing and DSP-oriented solutions. It integrates 8,256 logic elements, approximately 0.166 Mbits of embedded RAM, and 138 general-purpose I/O pins to address a wide range of industrial and embedded designs.

Built for industrial environments, the device operates from a core voltage range of 1.15 V to 1.25 V and across an operating temperature of −40 °C to 100 °C, providing a compact, field-programmable option for control, signal processing, and interface consolidation tasks.

Key Features

• Cyclone II architecture  Family-level architecture with documented support for global clock networks and phase-locked loops for clock management.
• Logic capacity  8,256 logic elements organized across 516 logic array blocks to implement custom digital logic and control functions.
• Embedded memory  165,888 bits of on-chip RAM (approximately 0.166 Mbits) for FIFOs, buffers, and state storage without external memory.
• DSP-friendly resources  Includes embedded multipliers and dedicated routing resources appropriate for low-cost DSP and signal-processing tasks (Cyclone II family features).
• I/O and interfacing  138 I/O pins with support for the Cyclone II I/O structure and advanced I/O standards referenced in the device handbook.
• Power  Core voltage supply range of 1.15 V to 1.25 V for predictable power integration.
• Package & mounting  Surface-mount 208-BFQFP package (supplier device package: 208-PQFP, 28 × 28 mm) for compact board-level integration.
• Industrial temperature grade  Rated for −40 °C to 100 °C operation and RoHS compliant for industrial deployments.

Typical Applications

• Industrial control  Implement motor control, motion sequencing, and real-time control logic using on-chip logic and I/O resources within an industrial temperature range.
• Embedded processing  Low-cost embedded processors and glue-logic implementations benefit from the device's logic density and embedded memory.
• Signal processing / DSP  On-chip multipliers and local RAM support basic DSP pipelines, filters, and data-path acceleration in compact designs.
• Interface consolidation  Consolidate multiple peripheral interfaces and custom protocol handlers using the device's plentiful I/O and programmable logic.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated FPGA solution: Combines 8,256 logic elements, embedded RAM, and DSP-oriented resources in a single compact package to reduce external components.
• Industrial-ready operation: −40 °C to 100 °C operating range and industrial grade qualification support deployment in harsh environments.
• Compact surface-mount package: 208-BFQFP (28 × 28 mm) allows space-efficient board designs while providing extensive I/O.
• <strong predictable power domain: Narrow core voltage range (1.15 V–1.25 V) simplifies power-supply design and verification.
• Family-level design resources: Cyclone II device handbook and family architecture details (clock networks, PLLs, memory and multiplier resources) aid design planning and optimization.
