EPC1064VLC20

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Overview

The EPC1064VLC20 is a 64-kbit (8 K x 8) One-Time Programmable (OTP) configuration PROM designed for Altera FPGAs. It utilizes a 20-lead PLCC package with J-leads and operates within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The device provides a single-chip solution for storing configuration data, supporting parallel programming and external processor access via its flash interface.

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'VLC20' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm the exact package type (PLCC) and temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with the target FPGA family's configuration requirements before procurement. Cross-reference part numbers with current datasheets as product lines may undergo obsolescence or revision changes.

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Selection Notes

Select this component when a non-volatile, single-chip configuration source is required for compatible Altera FPGAs. Consider the OTP nature of the device, which prevents reprogramming after initial configuration. Evaluate the need for on-chip decompression to maximize effective storage capacity for complex design bitstreams.

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Part Context

The EPC1064 belongs to the Enhanced Configuration Device (EPC) family, which integrates standard flash dies with controller dies in stacked packages. This family includes EPC4, EPC8, and EPC16 variants offering different memory densities. These devices serve as dedicated configuration memory for high-density programmable logic solutions.

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify if generic EPC family members or updated Intel FPGA configuration devices meet the specific pinout and density requirements.
