EPF81188GM883B-3

The EPF81188GM883B-3 is a FLEX 8000 series Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Altera, delivered in a 232-CPGA through-hole package. It provides a mid-range programmable logic resource set suitable for applications that require up to 1,008 logic elements, a high I/O count, and operation across a wide temperature and supply voltage range.

Designed and specified to military grade, the device targets high-reliability embedded systems where thermal endurance and a 5 V-class supply are primary requirements.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 1,008 logic elements and 12,000 equivalent gates, organized into 126 logic blocks for implementing custom digital functions and control logic.
• I/O Resources — 180 user I/O pins provide extensive external device interfacing and signal routing options for complex systems.
• Memory — Total on-chip RAM bits: 0, appropriate for designs that rely on external memory or logic-only implementations.
• Power — Single-supply operation in the 4.5 V to 5.5 V range for compatibility with 5 V-class systems.
• Package & Mounting — 232-CPGA package in a through-hole mounting style for reliable board retention and thermal mass.
• Temperature Range — Rated for operation from −55 °C to 125 °C to meet demanding environmental conditions.
• Grade & Compliance — Military-grade device that is RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Military Embedded Systems — Use for mission-critical control, signal interfacing, and custom logic tasks where military-grade temperature and reliability are required.
• High-Reliability Industrial Controls — Deploy in harsh-environment controllers that benefit from wide operating temperature and robust packaging.
• Data and I/O Concentration — Ideal for applications that require many external connections, taking advantage of the 180 I/O pins for sensor arrays, bus bridging, or peripheral aggregation.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic Density: 1,008 logic elements and 12,000 gates provide a practical balance between capacity and complexity for mid-size custom logic designs.
• Extensive I/O: 180 I/O pins enable dense peripheral and signal routing without immediate need for external I/O expanders.
• Wide Thermal Margin: −55 °C to 125 °C operating range supports deployment in demanding temperature environments.
• 5 V-Class Power Compatibility: 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply range simplifies integration into legacy and existing 5 V systems.
• Robust Mechanical Mounting: Through-hole 232-CPGA package offers solid board retention and durability for vibration-prone assemblies.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports modern environmental requirements for electronic assemblies.
