EPC2LI20 – ALTERA

The EPC2LI20 is a 1.6 Mbit (1677721 bits) erasable programmable configuration device packaged in a 20-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC). This device is specifically designed for configuring Altera Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) upon power-up. It utilizes a low-power CMOS EEPROM technology for non-volatile storage of configuration data. The EPC2LI20 supports in-system programmability (ISP) via a JTAG interface, allowing for reconfiguration without removing the device from the circuit board. The device operates within a specified voltage range, typically 3.0V to 3.6V, and features a guaranteed number of erase/program cycles. Its PLCC package provides a robust and industry-standard footprint for surface mount assembly. The device is typically used in applications where reliable and repeatable FPGA configuration is required, such as industrial control, communications, and embedded systems.
