EP2C8Q208C8

Product Summary

The EP2C8Q208C8 is an FPGA. It is manufactured on 300-mm wafers using TSMC’s 90-nm low-k dielectric process to ensure rapid availability and low cost. By minimizing silicon area, the EP2C8Q208C8 can support complex digital systems on a single chip at a cost that rivals that of ASICs. The EP2C8Q208C8 supports the Nios II embedded processor which allows you to implement custom-fit embedded processing solutions. It can also expand the peripheral set, memory, I/O, or performance of embedded processors.
