🧩 Configuration and Integration Notes

The Cyclone II family uses volatile SRAM-based configuration, which means the EP2C35F672C8N requires a configuration device such as:

  • EPCS16, EPCS32 serial memory
  • JTAG interface for in-system programming
  • Passive Parallel/Serial configuration modes supported

Also supports in-field reconfiguration, making it ideal for remote-update applications.
