Overview
The EPC2LI20 is a high-performance, in-system-programmable configuration device from Intel, originally developed by Altera. It is part of the MAX 9000 family, which is based on Altera’s third-generation Multiple Array MatriX (MAX) architecture. Fabricated using advanced CMOS technology, this device is designed for configuring SRAM-based FPGAs. It offers 1.6 Mbit of memory and is packaged in a 20-pin PLCC (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier) package.
