EPC2LC20 – ALTERA

The Altera EPC2LC20 is a 2 Mbit (262,144 x 8) enhanced configuration device intended for configuring Altera FPGAs. This device utilizes a low-power CMOS EEPROM process and operates at 3.3V. The EPC2LC20 supports in-system programmability via a 2-pin serial configuration interface, enabling convenient design iteration and field upgrades. Configuration data is stored in non-volatile memory, ensuring immediate FPGA startup upon power-up. The device features a programmable security bit to prevent unauthorized access to the configuration data. While the base Altera EPC2LC20 is not inherently compliant with RoHS directives, users should verify the specific manufacturing date code and any post-manufacturing processes applied, as some later production runs or third-party modifications may achieve RoHS compliance through alternative component sourcing or lead-free finishing.
