EP2C5T144C8N

The EP2C5T144C8N is a Cyclone II FPGA from Intel (formerly Altera), featuring:
- 5,136 logic elements (LEs)
- 119,808 memory bits
- 13 embedded 18x18 multipliers
- 2 PLLs for clock management
- 144-pin TQFP package (C8 speed grade, commercial temperature range)
It’s designed for cost-sensitive, low-power applications like industrial control, consumer electronics, and basic signal processing. The TQFP package offers ease of soldering, while the Cyclone II architecture balances performance and power efficiency.
Key interfaces include LVDS, PCI, and DDR memory support, making it versatile for embedded systems. Its 8ns pin-to-pin delay (C8 grade) suits moderate-speed designs.
Typical uses: prototyping, legacy system upgrades, or educational projects due to its affordability and simplicity.

The EP2C5T144C8N is a Cyclone II FPGA from Intel (formerly Altera). Equivalent alternatives include:
1. Lattice Semiconductor ICE40HX4K-TQ144 (lower power, smaller capacity).
2. Xilinx Spartan-3E XC3S500E-4TQG144C (similar logic capacity).
3. Intel (Altera) EP2C8T144C8N (higher capacity, same family).
For modern replacements, consider Intel MAX 10 (10M02/10M04) or Lattice ECP5 for low-power needs. Verify pin compatibility and features before substitution.
