EPC16QI100N

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Overview

The Altera EPC16QI100N is a non-volatile configuration memory device designed for Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). It utilizes Flash storage technology with a capacity of 16 Mbit. The component operates within a supply voltage range of 3 V to 3.6 V and supports a maximum clock frequency of 33 MHz. It functions across an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. The device is housed in a 100-pin PQFP package, specifically identified as 100-PQFP(20x14), suitable for surface mount installation.

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Feature Summary

• System-in-Programmable capability allows for reconfiguration without removing the device from the circuit board.
• Integrated on-chip decompression feature effectively doubles the usable configuration density for stored data.

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Applications

• Configuration of Altera ACEX 1K FPGA devices
• Configuration of Altera APEX 20K series FPGAs
• Configuration of Altera Cyclone II FPGA devices

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Procurement Notes

Verify current availability status as the EPC16QI100N has been officially discontinued by the manufacturer. Confirm that alternative sources are sourcing genuine components rather than obsolete stock. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints if replacing active inventory. Check for specific moisture sensitivity handling requirements during storage and assembly processes.

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring 16 Mbit configuration storage for compatible Altera FPGAs. Consider the 100-pin PQFP package constraints for layout planning. Evaluate the need for system-in-programmable features versus one-time programming requirements. Verify that the operating voltage and temperature ranges align with the target application environment specifications.

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Part Context

This part belongs to the Enhanced Configuration (EPC) family, which provides single-chip solutions for storing configuration bitstreams. These devices integrate standard Flash dies with controller logic into stacked packages. The EPC16 variant specifically targets higher density requirements compared to the EPC4 or EPC8 models within the same series architecture.
