Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'N' against official datasheets to confirm lead-free compliance and RoHS status. Confirm package integrity for the BGA-100 form factor. Check for End-of-Life notifications as this component may be discontinued. Ensure compatibility with the target FPGA's configuration mode requirements before procurement.

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Selection Notes

Select this part when a 16 Mbit capacity is required for FLEX series FPGAs. Compare against EPC16QC100N for PQFP-100 alternatives or EPC16UI88N for UBGA options. Verify that the 0°C to +70°C commercial temperature range meets the application environment. Ensure the 33 MHz speed is sufficient for the system's configuration timing constraints.

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Part Context

The EPC16UC88N belongs to the EPC16 family of serial configuration PROMs. These devices are specifically engineered to initialize Altera programmable logic devices. The UC88 designation indicates the BGA-100 package variant. This component serves as the primary source of configuration data for the associated FPGA upon power-up.

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers were not identified in the provided documentation. Cross-reference with EPC16QC100N or EPC16UI88N only if package and pinout compatibility is verified through official mechanical drawings.
