EPC16UC88NT - 16-Mbit FPGA Configuration PROM | Altera
Altera EPC16UC88NT is a 16-Mbit enhanced configuration device for SRAM-based FPGA and programmable-logic devices, supplied in the 88-ball Ultra FineLine BGA package identified in verified product listings as 88-UBGA, 11 mm by 8 mm. The verified source identifies EPC16UC88N as an in-system programmable configuration PROM with 16 Mbit capacity and the same 88-UBGA package. EPC16UC88NT belongs to the configuration-memory hierarchy: configuration PROM, nonvolatile memory, FPGA support memory, and semiconductor integrated circuit.
A configuration PROM is a nonvolatile semiconductor memory used to store the bitstream that configures an SRAM-based FPGA whenever the system powers up, reinitializes, or requires new configuration data. Because SRAM-based logic devices lose programmed configuration when power is removed, the PROM provides persistent storage and transfers the configuration image during initialization. It is part of the broader system chain of nonvolatile memory, FPGA configuration interface, power sequencing, and programmable logic.
The EPC16UC88 family is described by verified source material as an Enhanced Configuration Device with 16-Mbit Flash memory. Configuration data supports FPGA families including 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. The stored configuration is loaded into the target SRAM-based device through the FPGA configuration interface, allowing the host system to restore its programmed logic state without an external programming source.
The EPC16UC88N distributor listing specifically describes an in-system programmable configuration PROM for FPGAs, with 16 Mbit memory and an 88-UBGA package measuring 11 mm by 8 mm. The target ordering code EPC16UC88NT is associated with the same EPC16UC88 configuration-device family, but the supplied verification does not establish every package-level suffix, temperature-grade, or pinout difference for the NT variant. The EPC16UC88 datasheet is a 36-page document in the provided AllDatasheet result, but the target ordering code should be checked against the applicable manufacturer ordering information before substitution.
Typical applications include configuring legacy Altera FPGA development boards, industrial control systems using SRAM-based FPGAs, communications equipment requiring repeatable power-up configuration, and test systems that retain FPGA bitstreams outside the target device. The nonvolatile configuration function is especially useful when the FPGA must initialize into a known state after power cycling or when configuration data must be updated without replacing the target programmable device.
When designing with EPC16UC88NT, verify the exact ball map, supported target FPGA family, configuration voltage, programming interface, and suffix-specific temperature information from the applicable manufacturer documentation. The verified data does not provide electrical ratings, timing values, absolute maximum limits, or a verified NT-specific pinout. Do not infer those values from the EPC16UC88 family name alone.
This page combines the verified product description, package information, supported FPGA-family context, and purchasing sources. It also distinguishes confirmed facts from fields requiring manufacturer-document verification, helping engineers avoid treating a family-level specification as a target-suffix guarantee.
