EP2C35U484C6N
EP2C35U484C6N - Cyclone II FPGA, 33K LE, 484-FBGA | Altera
The Altera (now Intel) EP2C35U484C6N is a low-cost Cyclone II Field-Programmable Gate Array built on a 90 nm CMOS process, integrating 33,216 logic elements, 483,840 total RAM bits, and 322 user I/O pins in a 484-ball FineLine BGA (UFBGA) package. Per the Cyclone II Device Handbook, the device operates from a 1.2 V core supply with separate VCCIO banks that support 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V I/O standards, and offers embedded 18x18 multipliers and PLL clock management blocks for DSP and high-speed serial-deserializer bridging.
What is an FPGA? An FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) is a semiconductor device whose logic fabric, routing, and I/O can be configured by the customer after manufacture, enabling hardware-level parallelism for DSP, glue logic, prototyping, and ASIC-replacement designs. The Cyclone II family sits in the low-cost density tier between CPLDs and high-end FPGAs, targeting cost-sensitive applications such as industrial controllers, video processing, and protocol bridging. Within the taxonomy, Cyclone II belongs to Altera's low-power, low-cost FPGA family and is positioned beneath the Stratix performance tier.
Key features of the EP2C35U484C6N include 33,216 logic elements arranged across 2,076 logic array blocks (LABs), 105 M9K embedded memory blocks totaling 483,840 RAM bits, 35 embedded 18x18 multipliers for DSP operations, four phase-locked loops (PLLs) for clock synthesis and skew management, and 322 maximum user I/Os supporting LVDS, LVTTL, LVCMOS, SSTL, and PCI I/O standards. The U484 package (484-ball FBGA, 1.0 mm pitch) supports commercial operating temperature (0 °C to +85 °C) and is RoHS-compliant (lead-free).
Architecturally, the Cyclone II fabric uses a four-input lookup table (LUT) based logic element with dedicated carry chains for fast arithmetic, distributed M9K RAM blocks scattered throughout the LAB array, and multiplier blocks hardwired between LAB columns. Configuration is loaded via Altera's serial or parallel configuration schemes through dedicated JTAG or AS (active serial) configuration pins, supported by the Quartus II design toolchain.
Typical applications include industrial motor control, video surveillance and image processing front-ends, telecommunications protocol bridging, PCI/PCI-X interface bridging at 33-66 MHz, software-defined radio (SDR) baseband processing, and FPGA-based prototyping of ASIC designs. The wide VCCIO bank flexibility also makes it suitable for mixed-voltage system design where older 5 V-tolerant or 3.3 V peripherals must coexist with 1.8 V processors.
When designing with the EP2C35U484C6N, plan power sequencing carefully: the 1.2 V core VCCINT must ramp before or simultaneously with VCCIO to avoid I/O latch-up. Use Altera's PowerPlay Power Analyzer inside Quartus II for accurate thermal estimation, and provide at least 4-layer PCB routing with continuous ground and power planes for the 322 high-speed I/Os.
