EPC2LI20

The Altera EPC2LI20 is an FPGA belonging to the MAX 9000 family, built on a third-generation MAX architecture. Fabricated using advanced CMOS technology, this EEPROM-based device provides 6,000 to 12,000 usable gates, with pin-to-pin delays as fast as 10 ns and counter speeds up to 144 MHz.

Key features include 5.0-V in-system programmability (ISP) via a built-in IEEE Std. 1149.1 JTAG interface and compliant boundary-scan test circuitry. It supports PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 2.2 and offers a dual-output macrocell for independent combinatorial and registered logic use. The device utilizes FastTrack Interconnect for predictable delays and includes input/output registers with clear and clock enable functions.

Designed for flexibility, the EPC2LI20 features programmable output slew-rate control to minimize switching noise and MultiVolt™ I/O interface operation, enabling compatibility with both 3.3-V and 5.0-V devices. It also includes configurable expander product-term distribution and a programmable power-saving mode.

This component is supplied in a PLCC-20 package and is suitable for surface-mount (SMD/SMT) applications. It operates within a temperature range of -40 C to +85 C and requires a supply voltage between 3 V and 5.25 V, with a typical supply current of 50 uA.
