EPF81500AQC240-4

The EPF81500AQC240-4 is a FLEX 8000 family field-programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 240-pin BFQFP package optimized for commercial applications. It provides a compact, register-rich programmable fabric with 1,296 logic elements and support for 181 user I/O pins, enabling mid-density logic integration and system interfacing in 5.0 V environments.

Built on the FLEX 8000 architecture, this device targets applications such as bus interfaces, controller logic, and TTL/legacy integration where predictable interconnect and flexible I/O behavior are important.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 1,296 logic elements (LEs) and approximately 16,000 usable gates for mid-density implementation of glue logic, bus controllers, and protocol handling.
• I/O Density — 181 user I/O pins provided in the 240-BFQFP package to support multiple buses, peripherals, and parallel interfaces.
• Packaging & Mounting — 240-BFQFP (supplier device package: 240-PQFP, 32×32), surface-mount package suitable for compact PCB designs.
• Power Supply — 5.0 V-class operation with a specified supply range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V, enabling integration with standard 5 V logic systems.
• Operating Conditions — Commercial temperature range from 0 °C to 70 °C for typical commercial electronics deployments.
• Family-Level Architecture — FLEX 8000 family features including FastTrack continuous routing, dedicated carry and cascade chains for high-speed arithmetic and fan-in logic, programmable output slew-rate control, and support for in-circuit reconfigurability via external configuration devices or intelligent controllers.
• Standby Power — Family documentation cites low standby current behavior for reduced power draw in idle conditions (typical family standby figures referenced in the FLEX 8000 datasheet).
• Compliance & Environmental — RoHS-compliant and offered in commercial-grade specification.

Typical Applications

• Bus Interfaces and Bridges — Use the device to implement TTL/parallel bus interfaces, address decoding, and glue logic between multiple 32-bit or narrow bus segments.
• High-Speed Controllers — Implement control engines and peripheral controllers where predictable interconnect delays and dedicated arithmetic chains improve latency and deterministic behavior.
• TTL Integration and Legacy I/O — 5.0 V supply compatibility and plentiful I/O make the device suitable for designs that must interface with legacy TTL systems and 5 V peripherals.
• Custom Logic and Glue Code — Mid-density FPGA fabric for consolidating multiple discrete logic functions, reducing BOM and PCB area in consumer and commercial electronics.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Mid-Density Fabric: 1,296 logic elements and 16,000 usable gates provide a well-sized platform for consolidating moderately complex logic without excess overhead.
• High I/O Count in a Compact Package: 181 user I/O pins in a 240-pin BFQFP allow multiple interfaces and parallel buses to be routed without resorting to larger packages.
• 5 V System Compatibility: Operates from 4.75 V to 5.25 V, simplifying integration into established 5 V designs and legacy systems.
• Flexible Routing and Arithmetic Support: Family-level FastTrack routing plus dedicated carry and cascade chains accelerate adders, counters, and high-fan-in logic implemented by synthesis tools.
• In-Circuit Reconfigurability: Supports reconfiguration via external configuration devices or intelligent controllers for field updates and flexible deployment models.
• Regulatory and Environmental Compliance: RoHS-compliant construction for use in regulated commercial products.
