Introduction
FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) are integrated circuits used in embedded systems to provide flexibility and reduce time-to-market. One such FPGA is the EP2C8F256C6, commonly used in industrial, aviation, and aerospace applications. This article discusses the application field and working principle of the EP2C8F256C6 Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). Design and Architecture
The EP2C8F256C6 is an 8-member personal-entry FPGA with two distinct components: the programmable Logic Array (PLA) and the programmable switch matrix. The PLA consists of a series of configurable logic elements (LUTs) and flip-flops. The programmable switch matrix contains multiplexers that enable rapid reconfiguration of connections between logic elements. The EP2C8F256C6 is based on a 21.25 mm square non-BGA package, making it ideal for applications where size or cost restriction is an issue.Application Field
The EP2C8F256C6 is suitable for use in a wide range of industries and applications. In the industrial sector, it is commonly used to drive LEDs, buttons, relays, motors, and other peripheral equipment. It is also used in robotics and smart factories where it can facilitate rapid prototyping, reduce development costs, and eliminate the need to create a custom PCB.In the aviation and aerospace sectors, the EP2C8F256C6 can be employed to control flight systems, such as autopilots and avionics. Its small size and low power consumption make it ideal for use in aircraft, which require tight physical space constraints and minimal energy usage. The EP2C8F256C6 is also useful for controlling missiles, satellites, and other space-bound craft as it offers long system up-times and does not require frequent reprogramming. Working principle
The EP2C8F256C6 utilizes a unique combination of programmable features to Facilitate embedded system solutions. It offers up to 24,579 logic elements (LUTs), and configurable connectivity, as well as internal dual-port RAM and distributed RAM. The internal dual-port RAM allows data to be stored directly within the FPGA, while distributed RAM provides a fast interface to external memory.The EP2C8F256C6 also features programmable analog elements. Through these components, the FPGA can sense and modify analog signals—without requiring an embedded processor or an external DAC. In addition, the EP2C8F256C6 features an embedded physical layer (PHY) transceiver which enables the FPGA to communicate with other devices using an RS-485 protocol.Conclusion
The EP2C8F256C6 FPGA is a powerful, cost-effective solution for industrial and aerospace applications. The FPGA’s compact size and low power consumption make it suitable for the strict physical space and energy requirements of aircraft. It also offers up to 24,579 logic elements, configurable connectivity, and programmable analog elements to facilitate embedded system solutions. Finally, its embedded PHY transceiver allows the FPGA to communicate with other devices using RS-485.
