EP2C5T144C6N 概要

The Intel (formerly Altera) EP2C5T144C6N is a low-cost Cyclone II Field Programmable Gate Array housed in a 144-pin LQFP (T144) package, delivering 4,608 logic elements, 119,808 bits of embedded RAM, and 89 user I/O pins on TSMC's 90nm low-k dielectric process. Speed grade 6 represents the standard timing class in the Cyclone II family, balancing Fmax and cost for cost-sensitive volume production. Operating at 1.15V-1.25V core with LVCMOS/LVTTL/LVDS/PECL I/O standards supported, the device targets glue logic, bus bridging, and control-plane applications.

A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a semiconductor integrated circuit whose digital logic functionality is defined after manufacturing by the customer, via a configuration bitstream. FPGAs sit in the broader taxonomy: programmable logic device (PLD) -> FPGA -> SRAM-based FPGA -> Cyclone II family. They differ from ASICs by offering rapid prototyping, field re-programmability, and lower NRE cost, while trading off per-unit cost and absolute performance against fixed-function ASICs. Cyclone II is positioned in the low-density, low-power tier below the Cyclone III/IV/V families.

Key features include up to 89 user I/O pins across 4 I/O banks, embedded 18x18 multipliers (13 total) for DSP-style arithmetic, dual-purpose configuration pins, and JTAG boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1) for in-system programming and boundary test. The device supports multiple configuration modes including AS, PS, JTAG, and FPP, enabling flexible boot from EPCS serial flash or microprocessor hosts. The 144-pin LQFP package is plastic and surface-mount with 0.5mm pitch, suited to standard SMT assembly lines without requiring BGA-grade inspection.

Cyclone II FPGAs use a logic element (LE) granularity built around 4-input look-up tables (LUT4), each with an associated carry chain and register. The M4K embedded RAM blocks (13 blocks of 4,608 bits each) deliver true dual-port operation up to 250 MHz and can be configured as RAM, ROM, or FIFO buffers. Phase-locked loops (PLLs) provide clock multiplication, division, and phase shifting across the 2-4 PLLs available per device.

Typical applications include industrial motor control front-ends, low-density protocol bridges (UART/SPI/I2C to Ethernet), LED display controllers, video processing front-ends, educational development boards, and low-cost DSP pipelines. The Cyclone II is well-suited to designs where pin count and logic density demand exceed microcontrollers but ASIC NRE cannot be amortized.

When designing, plan for JTAG access (TCK/TMS/TDO/TDI pulled appropriately), 2.5V/3.3V bank voltage compatibility, decoupling per power pin, and configuration storage via EPCS1/EPCS4 serial flash. The LQFP-144 package benefits from generous copper pours and routed differential pairs for LVDS signals where jitter budget matters.

This page synthesizes distributor pricing, drop-in alternatives in the same LQFP-144 footprint, and practical design notes not found on any single distributor listing.

主な用途

EP2C5T144C6N の用途: 7 件s: Industrial Motor Control FPGA, Legacy Protocol Bridge (UART/SPI to Ethernet), LED Video Wall Controller, Educational FPGA Development Platform, Video Processing Front-End (CVBS / HDMI Capture), Low-Cost DSP Pipeline (FIR / FFT), Automotive Infotainment Auxiliary Logic.

🏭

Industrial Motor Control FPGA

The EP2C5T144C6N fits industrial motor control front-ends because its 89 user I/O across 4 banks support direct interfacing to multi-axis encoder inputs (QEP, Hall sensors), PWM outputs, and isolation-barrier GPIO. The 13 embedded 18x18 multipliers and 4,608 logic elements handle real-time field-oriented control (FOC) loops with adequate headroom for sinusoidal commutation and current-loop PI controllers. With 2 PLLs available, multiple PWM carrier frequencies can be synthesized cleanly from a single crystal reference.

🌐

Legacy Protocol Bridge (UART/SPI to Ethernet)

In low-volume industrial gateways, the EP2C5T144C6N bridges UART/SPI/I2C peripherals to Ethernet MAC interfaces (MII/RMII) using soft IP cores. Its 119,808 bits of embedded RAM provide FIFO buffering for packet reassembly, while 89 I/O pins accommodate multiple serial ports plus an external PHY connection. The Cyclone II architecture supports soft-core processors (NIOS II) at clock rates sufficient for Modbus, Profibus, or MQTT translation.

💡

LED Video Wall Controller

The EP2C5T144C6N drives entry-level LED video walls by combining HUB75-style parallel LED outputs with simple refresh-rate timing logic. Its 4 I/O banks can supply independent 3.3V and 2.5V signaling for mixed logic levels between LED driver ICs and host controllers. Embedded M4K RAM blocks serve as scan-line buffers, and the 89 I/O count maps to moderate-resolution panels (typically up to 256x64 pixels) at 60Hz refresh.

🎓

Educational FPGA Development Platform

Cyclone II EP2C5T144C6N has long been a teaching workhorse in university digital logic labs because of its 144-pin LQFP hand-solderable footprint, balanced logic density (4,608 LEs), and free Quartus II Web Edition support. Students learn HDL synthesis, timing analysis, and peripheral interfacing on a chip that is forgiving but representative of real FPGA design flow. The T144 package is breadboard-adapter friendly with break-out PCBs.

📺

Video Processing Front-End (CVBS / HDMI Capture)

The EP2C5T144C6N handles composite video (CVBS) decoding, color-space conversion, and scaling for low-cost video recorders. Its 4,608 LEs can host ITU-R BT.601 processing pipelines, and LVDS pairs in the LQFP-144 package support HDMI/DVI receiver interface ICs (e.g., TFP401). M4K RAM blocks implement line buffers for deinterlacing and frame-rate conversion at standard-definition resolutions.

🎧

Low-Cost DSP Pipeline (FIR / FFT)

Cyclone II FPGAs implement moderate-density DSP functions via their 13 embedded 18x18 multipliers and 4-input LUTs. The EP2C5T144C6N can host FIR filters (up to 13 taps parallel at full speed), FFT butterflies, or audio-bandwidth DDC chains for software-defined radio front-ends. Its 2 PLLs support sample-rate clock synthesis alongside logic-clock domains.

🚗

Automotive Infotainment Auxiliary Logic

The AEC-Q100 qualified EP2C5AT144A7N variant in the same T144 footprint supports automotive infotainment subsystems where it manages CAN/LIN routing, button-debouncing logic, and LCD segment timing. Automotive-grade qualification is the key parameter here, justifying use of the EP2C5AT144A7N over the commercial EP2C5T144C6N despite both sharing the same LQFP-144 pinout.

What is the EP2C5T144C6N?
The EP2C5T144C6N is a Cyclone II FPGA from Intel (formerly Altera) with 4,608 logic elements and 119,808 bits of embedded RAM in a 144-pin LQFP package. According to the Altera Cyclone II Device Handbook, it is built on TSMC's 90 nm low-k process and is intended for low-cost, low-density glue-logic and control-plane applications.
How many user I/O pins does EP2C5T144C6N have?
The EP2C5T144C6N provides 89 user I/O pins distributed across 4 I/O banks. Per the Cyclone II Device Handbook, the T144 package is the largest logic-rich LQFP option in the family and supports LVCMOS, LVTTL, SSTL, LVDS, and RSDS I/O standards with 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V bank supply voltages.
Is the EP2C5T144C6N still in production?
As of 2026-09-08, the EP2C5T144C6N is marked Not Recommended for New Designs (NRND) by Intel. Per the official product change notification, the part is still stocked at distributors but Intel recommends migrating to Cyclone IV E (EP4CE5) for new designs that require long-term availability and active support.
What is the difference between EP2C5T144C6N and EP2C5T144C8N?
Both parts share the same Cyclone II die, T144 LQFP package, and 4,608 logic elements; they differ only in speed grade. According to the Cyclone II datasheet, the C6 suffix indicates speed grade 6 (standard Fmax), while C8 is speed grade 8 (lower Fmax tier, typically lower cost). Both are pin-compatible drop-in parts on the same PCB footprint.
What is the difference between EP2C5T144C6 and EP2C5T144C6N?
The EP2C5T144C6 is the Pb-bearing / leaded commercial variant, while EP2C5T144C6N is the lead-free / Pb-free commercial variant. Per Altera ordering information, the trailing N suffix denotes Pb-free terminal finish; both parts share the identical 144-pin LQFP pinout and are functionally drop-in compatible on the same PCB footprint.
Where can I buy the EP2C5T144C6N online?
As of 2026-09-08, the EP2C5T144C6N is in stock at distributors including DigiKey (Part No. 1468678), Mouser, Arrow, LCSC (starting at $7.9495 per unit), and Avaq.

Dedicated pins include power (VCCINT, VCCIO per bank), GND, JTAG (TCK/TMS/TDO/TDI), configuration (MSEL, nCE, nCONFIG, nSTATUS, CONF_DONE, DCLK), and PLL supply; the remaining pins are user I/O.
What are the key specifications of EP2C5T144C6N that engineers should know?
Engineers evaluating EP2C5T144C6N should note: 4,608 logic elements, 119,808 bits embedded RAM (in 13 M4K blocks), 89 user I/O across 4 banks, 2 PLLs, 13 embedded 18x18 multipliers, 1.2V core voltage, and 144-pin LQFP package. Speed grade 6 delivers the standard Fmax for this family; commercial temperature range is 0C to +85C.
What is the best Xilinx equivalent for EP2C5T144C6N?
Per cross-brand web references, the Xilinx Spartan-3 family in the TQG144 / PQG144 package is the closest architectural equivalent to EP2C5T144C6N in pin count and logic density (XC3S50A in TQG144 is approximately matched at 50K gates / 144-pin). Cross-brand migration requires re-targeting from Quartus to ISE/Vivado and re-mapping pin assignments; there is no pin-compatible Xilinx drop-in part.
What is the operating temperature of EP2C5T144C6N?
The EP2C5T144C6N operates over the commercial temperature range of 0C to +85C junction temperature. Per Altera's Cyclone II datasheet, the I7 / I8 suffix variants (e.g., EP2C5T144I7N) provide industrial temperature range of -40C to +100C junction and are drop-in pin-compatible for designs requiring extended thermal.

選定ガイド

Choose EP2C5T144C6N when you need a Cyclone II FPGA in the 144-pin LQFP package with standard Fmax timing and commercial 0-85C temperature range at the lowest cost tier. Choose EP2C5T144C6 (no N suffix) only if a Pb-bearing terminal finish is required for legacy customers. Choose EP2C5T144C7N or EP2C5T144C8N when your design can tolerate lower Fmax tiers for additional cost savings. Choose EP2C5T144I7N for industrial temperature designs. Choose EP2C5AT144A7N for AEC-Q100 automotive infotainment applications. Migrate to Cyclone IV E (EP4CE5E22C6N) for new designs requiring long-term Intel support, but note that this requires PCB redesign due to different pinout.

設計ノート

The EP2C5T144C6N requires a 1.15V to 1.25V VCCINT core supply and per-bank VCCIO supplies at 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V. Estimated: at typical 25C ambient and 50% toggle rate, the EP2C5 core draws approximately 70-150 mA from VCCINT depending on utilization; place 0.1uF ceramic decoupling caps adjacent to every VCCINT pin and bulk 100uF tantalum on the supply plane. Power-on sequencing requires VCCINT to ramp before or simultaneously with VCCIO; failure to do so can cause I/O latch-up per the Cyclone II Device Handbook.

The LQFP-144 package has a 0.5mm pitch; per Altera layout guidelines, route all signals on inner layers and place via-in-pad for ground stitching beneath the package. For LVDS pairs used in clock or video I/O, maintain 100 ohm differential impedance with length matching of +/- 10 mils. Estimated: copper pour area of at least 1 square inch on the top layer is recommended to dissipate the 0.5-2W typical dissipation of an EP2C5 design without dedicated thermal relief.

Do not leave MSEL pins floating - they configure the boot mode (AS, PS, JTAG) and incorrect setting prevents bitstream loading. Pull-ups on nCONFIG and pull-downs on nSTATUS as documented in the Cyclone II handbook are mandatory. Configuration bitstream storage should use EPCS1 or EPCS4 serial flash; legacy EPC2 parallel flash is no longer recommended. The T144 package does not include an exposed thermal pad - thermal management relies on copper pour area and ambient airflow.

Decouple each VCCIO bank with at least one 0.1uF ceramic capacitor per pin pair and one bulk 10uF tantalum per bank. JTAG signals (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO) must be routed with 50 ohm controlled impedance if traces exceed 25 mm; route TMS and TDI with pull-ups to VCCIO of the bank they belong to. Configuration clock DCLK must be clean - any glitches on DCLK during AS mode will cause configuration failure and require power cycling.
