EP2C8T144I8N Intel Altera FPGA IC LFBGA Field Programmable Gate Array EP2C8

Intel/Altera series Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC 85 165888 8256 144-LQFP

The Cyclone II family offers devices with the Fast-On feature, which offers a faster power-on-reset (POR) time. Devices that support the Fast-On feature are designated with an “A” in the device ordering code. For example, EP2C5A, EP2C8A, EP2C15A, and EP2C20A. The EP2C5A is only available in the automotive speed grade. The EP2C8A and EP2C20A are only available in the industrial speed grade. The EP2C15A is only available with the Fast-On feature and is available in both commercial and industrial grades. The Cyclone II “A” devices are identical in feature set and functionality to the non-A devices except for support of the faster POR time.

Introduce:

Altera Cyclone II FPGAs extend the low-cost FPGA density range to 68,416 logic elements (LEs) and provide up to 622 usable I/O
pins and up to 1.1 Mbits of embedded memory. Cyclone II FPGAs are manufactured on 300-mm wafers using TSMC's 90-nm low-k

dielectric process to ensure rapid availability and low cost. By minimizing silicon area, Cyclone II devices can support complex digital

systems on a single chip at a cost that rivals that of ASICs. Unlike other FPGA vendors who compromise power consumption and

performance for low-cost, Altera’s latest generation of low-cost FPGAs—Cyclone II FPGAs, offer 60% higher performance and half the

power consumption of competing 90-nm FPGAs.

The low cost and optimized feature set of Cyclone II FPGAs make them ideal solutions for a wide array of automotive, consumer,
communications, video processing, test and measurement, and other end-market solutions.

Low-Cost Embedded Processing Solutions:

Cyclone II devices support the Nios II embedded processor which allows you to implement custom-fit embedded processing solutions. Cyclone II devices can also expand the peripheral set, memory, I/O, or performance of embedded processors. Single or multiple Nios II embedded processors can be designed into a Cyclone II device to provide additional co-processing power or even replace existing embedded processors in your system. Using Cyclone II and Nios II together allow for low-cost, high-performance embedded processing solutions, which allow you to extend your product's life cycle and improve time to market over standard product solutions.

Low-Cost DSP Solutions:

Use Cyclone II FPGAs alone or as DSP co-processors to improve price-to-performance ratios for digital signal processing (DSP) applications.
