EPC16UC88 - 16Mb FPGA Configuration PROM | Altera
Altera EPC16UC88 is a 16-megabit, 3.3 V in-system programmable configuration PROM for SRAM-based FPGAs, supplied in an 88-ball UBGA package measuring 11 mm by 8 mm. Its combination of nonvolatile configuration storage, a configuration controller, and flash memory supports automatic loading of FPGA firmware after power-up, system initialization, or reconfiguration. The device is associated with Altera enhanced configuration-device families and is intended for designs that require a compact, dedicated configuration source.
A configuration PROM is a nonvolatile semiconductor memory that stores the bitstream used to program an SRAM-based FPGA. Unlike an SRAM FPGA, which loses its configuration when power is removed, the PROM retains the configuration image and reloads it during system startup. In the broader hierarchy, EPC16UC88 belongs to nonvolatile memory, configuration memory, FPGA support devices, and semiconductor components used in digital-system design.
The verified information identifies a 16 Mb capacity, a 3.3 V core and I/O supply, IEEE Std. 1532-compatible in-system programmability, Jam STAPL support, JTAG boundary-scan support, and an nINIT_CONF function that can initiate FPGA configuration through a private JTAG instruction. The package is identified as 88-UBGA (11x8), making board-level footprint and ball-map verification essential before substitution or redesign.
The configuration architecture is divided into a configuration controller and flash memory. This arrangement allows the device to manage address and output timing while retaining the configuration bitstream. JTAG and ISP support provide manufacturing programming, boundary-scan test access, and system-level update options, although exact timing, current, temperature, and supported FPGA-family details should be confirmed from the manufacturer datasheet.
Typical applications include FPGA boot configuration, industrial control equipment, communications hardware, test and measurement systems, and embedded platforms using compatible Altera FPGA families. The listed datasheet material references ACEX 1K, APEX 20K, APEX II, Arria GX, Cyclone, Cyclone II, FLEX 10K, FLEX 6000, Mercury, Stratix, Stratix GX, Stratix II, and Stratix II GX devices.
When designing with EPC16UC88, verify the exact FPGA voltage, configuration mode, interface timing, package ball map, and programming procedure against the target FPGA documentation. A configuration PROM is not a general-purpose flash memory substitute, and a different package or pinout requires PCB changes rather than a drop-in replacement.
This page consolidates verified distributor information, official and mirrored datasheet references, package information, practical configuration context, pricing fields where explicitly available, and drop-in-alternative status. Values not stated in the supplied data are marked as requiring verification rather than inferred.
