EP2C8T144C8N Ringkasan

The Intel (formerly Altera) EP2C8T144C8N is a Cyclone II family Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with 8,256 logic elements, 165,888 bits of embedded RAM, and 85 user I/Os, packaged in a 144-pin TQFP. Built on a 90 nm process, it operates from a 1.15 V to 1.25 V core supply, supports up to two PLLs, and is rated for commercial (0C to +85C) operation. The Cyclone II family extends the original Cyclone low-cost FPGA density range to 68,416 LEs while preserving a low-cost silicon target suitable for high-volume applications.

A Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a programmable semiconductor device whose logic function is defined after manufacturing by a user-supplied bitstream. FPGAs sit in the broader taxonomy of programmable logic devices (PLDs) -> logic ICs -> integrated circuits -> semiconductors. They are chosen over application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) when design revisions, parallel processing, or hardware-acceleration flexibility are required. Cyclone II FPGAs specifically balance cost, logic density, and embedded memory for cost-sensitive applications.

Key features include 8,256 logic elements organized into 516 configurable logic blocks, 165,888 bits of embedded memory (M4K blocks), up to 182 usable I/O pins (package-limited to 85 on this 144-pin TQFP), embedded multipliers (18x18), two PLLs per device, and Cyclone II configuration via serial or parallel configuration schemes. The 90 nm process technology keeps unit cost low while supporting up to 1.1 Mbits of embedded memory at the family level.

The EP2C8T144C8N supports up to 320 MHz internal operation with on-chip PLL clock management. The 144-pin TQFP package is a surface-mount plastic thin quad flat pack without an exposed pad, simplifying PCB assembly but limiting it to moderate thermal dissipation. This device is pin-compatible with the EP2C8T144I8N (industrial temperature grade variant), enabling a single PCB to serve multiple end-market grades.

Typical applications include digital signal processing, video bridging, industrial control logic, low-cost ASIC prototyping, consumer electronics glue logic, and embedded display controllers. Designers also use Cyclone II FPGAs as a prototyping step before migrating to higher-density Cyclone III/IV/V parts.

When designing with this device, ensure that all VCCINT and VCCIO rails have proper decoupling (0.1 uF plus bulk capacitors per Quartus II pin connection guidelines) and that JTAG configuration pins are accessible for in-system programming. Consider the EP2C5T144C8N for lower-density designs to reduce cost, or migrate upward to EP2C20F256C8N if logic density outgrows the EP2C8.
