EPCQ32SI8N

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Overview

The Altera EPCQ32SI8N is a serial configuration device belonging to the EPCQ-A series, designed for storing configuration data for Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). It features a storage capacity of 32 Mbit and operates within a supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 3.6 V. The device supports a maximum clock frequency of 100 MHz and functions reliably across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. It is housed in an 8-SOIC surface-mount package.

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Feature Summary

• System-in-Programmable capability allows for configuration updates without removing the device from the circuit board.
• Serial interface architecture reduces pin count requirements compared to parallel configuration devices.
• Non-volatile Flash memory technology retains configuration data when power is removed.

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Applications

• Configuration storage for Altera Cyclone IV FPGAs
• Configuration storage for Altera Cyclone V FPGAs
• Configuration storage for Altera Arria II FPGAs

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I8N' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm package dimensions and marking specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target FPGA's configuration mode requirements before procurement. Check for RoHS compliance status as per the latest environmental declarations.

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Selection Notes

Select this component when a 32 Mbit non-volatile configuration source is required for compatible Altera FPGAs. Consider the 100 MHz speed grade if high-speed configuration loading is necessary. Verify that the 8-SOIC package fits the available PCB footprint and that the operating voltage aligns with the system's 3.3 V domain.

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Part Context

The EPCQ32SI8N is part of the EPCQ-A family, which succeeded earlier EPCS and EPC devices. This family provides enhanced performance and reliability for configuring mid-range Altera FPGAs. It serves as a direct replacement for lower-capacity serial configuration devices in designs requiring larger bitstream storage.
