Product Description
The EP2C5F256C8N from Altera is a Cyclone II field programmable gate array. It supports embedded logic, control, signal processing, and interface applications. This FPGA provides 4,608 logic elements and 158 user I/O pins. It also includes 119,808 total RAM bits, 13 embedded multiplier blocks, and 2 phase-locked loops. In addition, the 256-FBGA package helps save space on compact circuit boards.
This part works well in systems that need programmable digital logic. It can help replace custom logic or support older board designs. Because it belongs to the Cyclone II family, the EP2C5F256C8N is useful for legacy Altera FPGA platforms. As a result, engineers often use it in industrial controls, communication equipment, test fixtures, interface boards, and data acquisition hardware.
The C8 speed grade identifies the timing grade for this ordering code. Also, the commercial temperature rating fits controlled electronic environments. The device uses a 1.2 V nominal core supply. Therefore, buyers should confirm the board design before purchase. They should also review the voltage rails, package footprint, and assembly requirements.
This FPGA can support repair, maintenance, and production work. It is especially useful when an older Cyclone II design needs the exact matching part number. In addition, it can help extend the life of existing hardware. Buyers should confirm package, speed grade, I/O count, and programming requirements before use.
