EPF81500ARC240-2

The EPF81500ARC240-2 is a FLEX 8000 family field-programmable gate array (FPGA) manufactured by Intel. It implements a register-rich, LUT-based logic architecture organized into logic elements and logic array blocks to support medium-density programmable logic designs.

Designed for commercial applications, this device provides 1,296 logic elements, 181 user I/O pins, and compatibility with 5.0 V core operation (4.75 V to 5.25 V supply range). The device is supplied in a 240‑pin BFQFP package with an exposed pad for thermal performance and is RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 1,296 logic elements across 162 logic array blocks, delivering approximately 16,000 usable gates for mid-range programmable logic implementations.
• I/O Density — 181 user I/O pins suitable for integrating multiple buses, TTL-level peripherals, and parallel interfaces in a single device.
• Supply & I/O — Operates from a 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply; supports MultiVolt I/O concepts in the FLEX 8000 family that allow core and I/O level flexibility as described in the family datasheet.
• Package & Mounting — 240‑BFQFP with exposed pad (supplier package: 240‑RQFP, 32 × 32) for surface-mount board assembly and improved thermal conduction.
• Temperature Range & Grade — Commercial grade operation from 0 °C to 70 °C, suitable for standard embedded and consumer applications.
• On‑Chip Resources — Total on-chip RAM reported as 0 bits for this part number; logic and register resources are intended for combinational and sequential implementation.
• Standards & Test Support — FLEX 8000 family devices include features such as in-circuit reconfigurability options and JTAG boundary-scan support on selected devices, as documented in the FLEX 8000 family datasheet.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant, supporting lead-free assembly processes.

Typical Applications

• Bus Interfaces — Integrate and bridge multiple parallel buses and TTL-level logic for board-level system interfaces.
• High‑Speed Controllers — Implement control logic for controllers and peripherals that require moderate gate counts and extensive I/O.
• Coprocessor and Glue Logic — Offload specialized logic functions, bus arbitration, and protocol translation within larger systems.
• Data Transformation & DSP Support — Suitable for wide-data-path manipulation and register-rich operations in signal processing pipelines where on-chip RAM is not required.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and I/O — 1,296 logic elements combined with 181 I/O pins allow integration of complex logic while maintaining extensive external connectivity.
• Commercial-grade, Ready for Production — 0 °C to 70 °C operating range and surface-mount 240‑BFQFP package simplify integration into mainstream embedded products.
• Family-Level Flexibility — Features of the FLEX 8000 family—such as in-circuit reconfigurability and programmable I/O behavior—enable adaptable system designs that can evolve through firmware updates.
• Thermal-Friendly Package — Exposed pad on the 240‑BFQFP aids thermal dissipation for sustained operation within the specified commercial temperature range.
• Standards and Testability — Family support for JTAG boundary-scan and PCI Local Bus compatibility (5.0 V operation on the family level) helps simplify board bring-up and validation.
