Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors as this part may be discontinued. Confirm package integrity and lead-free status against RoHS standards. Ensure compatibility with target FPGA configuration requirements before procurement.

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring persistent configuration storage for Altera FPGAs. Verify that the 1.6 Mbit capacity meets the bitstream size requirements of the target device. Ensure the design environment supports the specific voltage levels and interface protocols defined for the EPC2 family.

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Part Context

The EPC2LC20N is part of the EPC2 FLEX series, designed specifically to store configuration data for Altera's SRAM-based FPGAs. Unlike volatile memory, it retains programming data without power, enabling immediate FPGA operation upon startup. This series bridges the gap between complex FPGA architectures and reliable boot processes.
