Hi buzzvitgowtham,
EPC devices stand for Enhanced configuration devices, while EPCS devices stand for serial configuration devices. Both can be used to configure the FPGAs. You can refer to the Altera Configuration Handbook, which can be found at www.altera.com (http://www.altera.com).:) - Altera_Forum

Hi buzzvitgowtham,
I didn't find what the 2 abbreviations stands for in the Altera Configuration Handbook. I would expert that: E - Enhanced P - Programmable C - Chip S - Serial ,but I am not sure about this. You can put this quetion on mysupport.altera.com. I think the altera staff can give you more exact answers. Regards hustzq - Altera_Forum

These are Altera type codes rather than abbreviations, e. g. Cyclone III is ep3, Stratix is es.
