EPF8452AGC160-3

The EPF8452AGC160-3 is a FLEX 8000 series FPGA from Altera offered in a 160‑pin BQFP package. It provides moderate logic capacity with a high I/O count and is specified for commercial‑grade applications operating from a 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply.

Designed for surface‑mount assembly and RoHS compliance, this device is suited to commercial embedded designs and development applications that require flexible I/O routing and modest on‑chip logic resources.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 336 logic elements providing approximately 4,000 equivalent gates for implementing glue logic, control state machines, and small-scale FPGA functions.
• I/O Density — 120 user I/O pins to support multiple peripheral interfaces, signal routing needs, and external device connections.
• On‑Chip Memory — Total RAM bits: 0, indicating no embedded on‑chip RAM resources for this device.
• Power Supply — Operates from a 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply, compatible with standard 5 V system interfaces.
• Package & Mounting — Supplied in a 160‑BQFP package (supplier device package: 160‑PQFP 28×28) and intended for surface‑mount assembly.
• Temperature & Grade — Commercial grade with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant for lead‑free, environmentally conscious designs.

Typical Applications

• Consumer Electronics: Implement control logic, user interface handling, and peripheral aggregation where moderate logic capacity and abundant I/O are required.
• Communications Modules: Provide protocol glue logic and I/O buffering for networking and telecom interface modules using the device's 120 I/O pins.
• Embedded Control: Serve as an FPGA-based controller for embedded applications that need configurable logic and extensive I/O at 5 V supply levels.
• Prototyping & Development: Use on development boards and prototypes to validate logic partitioning and I/O mapping prior to production.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and I/O: Combines 336 logic elements with 120 I/O pins to address designs that prioritize signal connectivity together with modest programmable logic.
• 5 V System Compatibility: Native operation at a 4.75 V–5.25 V supply simplifies integration into legacy 5 V systems and interfaces.
• Compact Surface‑Mount Package: The 160‑BQFP (160‑PQFP 28×28) package offers a space‑efficient footprint for board designs requiring many I/Os.
• Commercial Availability: Commercial grade specification and RoHS compliance make it suitable for cost‑sensitive, mainstream applications.
• Manufacturer Provenance: Part of Altera's FLEX family, providing continuity for designers familiar with the series' implementation style.
