EP2C8T144C8 Ringkasan

The Intel (formerly Altera) EP2C8T144C8 is a Cyclone II family Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) built on a 90 nm CMOS process, delivering 8,256 logic elements (LEs) and 165,888 bits of embedded RAM in a 144-pin TQFP package with 85 user I/O pins. The 'C8' speed grade targets commercial temperature operation with internal core voltage around 1.2 V and LVCMOS/LVTTL I/O standards, while the TQFP-144 plastic thin-quad-flat-pack footprint simplifies prototype bring-up and low-volume assembly without requiring BGA reflow or substrate via fan-out.

A Field-Programmable Gate Array is a semiconductor device containing an array of configurable logic blocks (CLBs), programmable interconnect, and embedded memory that engineers can re-program in-system to implement arbitrary digital functions. The Cyclone II family sits in the low-cost FPGA tier of the Intel product portfolio, below the high-performance Stratix series and the low-power MAX series, targeting cost-sensitive applications where unit cost and design simplicity outweigh raw logic density. FPGAs differ from microcontrollers in that logic is implemented in parallel hardware rather than sequential firmware, providing deterministic timing and high I/O throughput.

Key feature highlights include 8,256 LEs, 36 M4K (4 Kbit) RAM blocks totaling 165,888 RAM bits, up to 18 embedded 18 x 18 multipliers, two PLLs for clock management, and configuration via passive serial (PS), fast passive parallel (FPP), or Altera configuration devices such as EPCS series flash. The TQFP-144 package is offered in commercial (0C to +85C junction) and industrial (-40C to +100C ambient) variants; the 'C8' suffix denotes commercial temperature range with the medium-fast speed grade.

Typical applications include industrial motor control, low-cost video processing, education and development kits, consumer display controllers, and prototyping bridges for ASIC emulation. Designers select Cyclone II when they need more parallel logic or I/O bandwidth than a microcontroller can provide but want to avoid the PCB complexity of fine-pitch BGA packages. Quartus II Web Edition software (legacy, replaced by Quartus Prime Lite for newer device families) supports full synthesis, place-and-route, and JTAG programming for Cyclone II designs.

When designing with Cyclone II, observe that core 1.2 V must be generated from an external regulator, JTAG pinout follows IEEE 1149.1, and unused I/O pins should be configured as tri-stated inputs with weak pull-ups to avoid floating-node contention. The 90 nm process has higher static leakage than modern 28/14 nm FPGAs, so thermal management matters more in enclosed industrial housings. This page synthesizes distributor pricing, drop-in alternatives within the Cyclone II family, and practical design notes not found in the manufacturer datasheet.
