Additional Details

The EPM9320RC208-15F operates from a 5V power supply. It is programmed using Altera's development software (now Intel's Quartus Prime). The device features a programmable interconnect array (PIA) that allows for flexible routing of signals between macrocells. The global clock network ensures consistent timing across the device. The 208-pin PQFP package provides a high density of I/O pins for complex designs.
