EPF8282ALC84-4

The EPF8282ALC84-4 is a member of the FLEX 8000 programmable logic family from Intel, offering a compact, register-rich FPGA architecture in an 84-pin PLCC (J-lead) surface-mount package. Designed for small to mid-range logic integration, this device provides a balance of logic density, I/O capability, and 5.0 V system compatibility for embedded controllers, bus interfaces, and data-path applications.

As part of the FLEX 8000 series, the device benefits from family-level features such as in-circuit reconfigurability, predictable routing architecture, and software design support for common HDL flows and automatic place-and-route.

Key Features

• Core Logic — 208 logic elements and 26 logic array blocks (LABs) delivering approximately 2,500 usable gates and 282 flip-flops for register-rich implementations.
• I/O Capacity & Levels — 68 user I/O pins with MultiVolt-compatible I/O that supports 5.0 V core operation and I/O compatibility with common logic levels.
• Power & Supply — Operates from a 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply; family-level standby power can be as low as 0.5 mA (typical) for reduced power draw in idle states.
• Interconnect & Arithmetic Support — FastTrack continuous routing structure for predictable delays, plus dedicated carry and cascade chains for high-speed arithmetic and high-fan-in logic functions.
• System-Level Features — Supports in-circuit reconfigurability (ICR) via external configuration devices or an intelligent controller; family-level support for JTAG boundary-scan (on selected devices).
• Package & Mounting — 84-LCC (J-lead) plastic PLCC package sized 29.31 × 29.31 mm; surface-mount mounting type suitable for compact PCB layouts.
• Memory — No on-chip RAM (Total RAM Bits: 0), making the device suitable for control- and logic-focused applications rather than memory-intensive functions.
• Operating Range & Compliance — Commercial grade operation from 0 °C to 70 °C; RoHS compliant.
• Design & Tool Support (Family) — FLEX 8000 family supports software design flows and automatic place-and-route via Altera MAX+PLUS II and common HDL/netlist formats for streamlined development.

Typical Applications

• Bus Interfaces — Implements glue logic and bus bridging functions for 5.0 V systems and TTL-compatible interfaces.
• Embedded Controllers & High-Speed Control — Provides register-rich logic for controller functions, event sequencing, and high-speed control paths.
• Digital Signal Processing (DSP) Support — Suitable for DSP building blocks such as wide-data-path manipulation and data transformation where register density is important.
• Coprocessor & Logic Integration — Integrates TTL logic, peripheral registers, and arithmetic assist functions like fast adders and counters using dedicated carry chains.

Unique Advantages

• Right-sized Logic Density: 208 logic elements and ~2,500 usable gates provide a compact solution for designs needing modest gate count without excess overhead.
• Predictable Interconnect: The FastTrack continuous routing structure and dedicated chains reduce routing uncertainty for timing-sensitive functions.
• 5 V System Compatibility: 4.75 V–5.25 V supply and MultiVolt I/O compatibility simplify integration into legacy 5.0 V designs.
• PLCC Surface-Mount Packaging: 84-LCC (J-lead) package offers a space-efficient form factor for PCB layouts that favor PLCC footprints.
• Family-Level Development Support: Supported by established tool flows (automatic place-and-route and HDL support) to accelerate design entry and prototyping.
• Commercial-Grade Reliability: Specified for 0 °C to 70 °C operation and RoHS compliance for standard commercial deployments.
