EP2C35F484I8

EP2C35F484I8 is a Cyclone II FPGA from Altera (now Intel). It’s a mid‑density, cost‑effective device designed for moderate logic needs, embedded memory, and flexible I/O. The “35” indicates roughly 35k logic elements, and the “F484” suggests a 484‑pin package variant. It includes:
- Multiple I/O banks with standard I/O compatibility (LVTTL/LVCMOS, etc.)
- Embedded memory blocks (M4K/M9K style) and DSP-like resources
- PLLs for clock management
- Reconfigurable logic suitable for FSMs, simple CPUs, DSP, image processing, etc.
The “I8” suffix designates a specific package/temperature grade. Use Quartus II to design and configure for this device. For exact counts (LEs, RAM blocks, IOs, PLLs) and timing specs, consult the official EP2C35F484I8 datasheet and user guide.

Equivalent/alternative FPGA options in the same Cyclone II family and 484-pin F484 package (industrial I8):
- EP2C5F484I8
- EP2C8F484I8
- EP2C20F484I8
- EP2C25F484I8
- EP2C50F484I8
