EP2C8T144I8N

Product Summary

The EP2C8T144I8N is a single-device, high-speed, advanced configuration solution for very high-density FPGAs. The core of the enhanced configuration device EP2C8T144I8N is divided into two major blocks: a configuration controller and a flash memory. The flash memory of EP2C8T144I8N is used to store configuration data for systems made up of one or more Altera FPGAs. Unused portions of the flash memory can be used to store processor code or data that can be accessed via the external flash interface after FPGA configuration is complete.
