EPF81500AQC240-3N

The EPF81500AQC240-3N is a member of the FLEX 8000 programmable logic device family, designed as a low-cost, register-rich FPGA implemented on an advanced SRAM process. It delivers a predictable interconnect structure and a mix of logic density and I/O capability suited for control, bus-interface, and data-manipulation applications.

Targeted at commercial-grade embedded designs, this device combines 1,296 logic elements (approximately 16,000 usable gates) with 181 user I/O pins in a 240-pin BFQFP surface-mount package, supporting 5.0 V core operation and in-circuit reconfigurability options for flexible system integration.

Key Features

• Core architecture Fabricated on an advanced SRAM process with compact 4-input look-up tables and programmable registers providing a register-rich logic fabric.
• Logic capacity Approximately 16,000 usable gates and 1,296 logic elements supporting up to 1,500 flip-flops for wide-data-path and control logic implementations.
• I/O and package 181 user I/O pins in a 240-BFQFP (supplier package: 240-PQFP 32×32) surface-mount package, enabling integration of multiple buses and peripheral interfaces.
• Power and supply Single voltage supply range from 4.75 V to 5.25 V; low-power standby behavior (typical standby current ≤ 0.5 mA as noted for the family).
• System-level features Supports in-circuit reconfigurability (ICR) via external configuration devices or an intelligent controller and family-level compliance with PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 2.2 for 5.0-V operation.
• Interconnect and arithmetic support FastTrack® continuous routing structure with dedicated carry and cascade chains for efficient arithmetic, counters, and high-fan-in logic functions.
• Signal integrity controls Programmable output slew-rate control to reduce switching noise and tri-state emulation for internal tri-state nets.
• Commercial operating range Rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operation and RoHS compliant for environmental conformance.

Typical Applications

• Bus interfaces and system glue Use as a compact logic hub for TTL integration, peripheral bridging, and multi-bus aggregation where predictable timing and plentiful I/O are required.
• High-speed controllers Implement control logic for embedded controllers and coprocessor functions that benefit from dedicated carry/cascade chains and dense register resources.
• Data transformation and DSP support Suitable for wide-data-path manipulation and data transformation tasks that leverage the device's abundant flip-flops and LUT-based logic.
• Prototype and production reconfigurable designs In-circuit reconfigurability enables field updates and design iteration without board-level changes.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced logic density and I/O: 1,296 logic elements and 181 I/O pins provide a practical trade-off for designs that need moderate logic resources with high external connectivity.
• Predictable routing: FastTrack® continuous routing structure reduces variability in interconnect delays, simplifying timing closure for complex logic.
• Built for system integration: Family-level PCI 5.0-V compliance and ICR support ease integration into board-level systems and enable in-field reconfiguration.
• Low-power standby: Typical standby current in the family is 0.5 mA or less, supporting designs that require low-power idle states.
• Standard surface-mount packaging: 240-BFQFP surface-mount package (240-PQFP 32×32 supplier variant) simplifies PCB assembly and supports multi-layer board designs.
• RoHS compliant: Meets environmental compliance requirements for lead-free assembly processes.
