EPF8452ALC84-3

The EPF8452ALC84-3 is a FLEX 8000 family field-programmable gate array (FPGA) supplied in an 84‑pin LCC (J‑lead) PLCC package. Built on the FLEX architecture, it provides a compact, register-rich programmable logic solution intended for commercial applications requiring mid-range logic capacity, predictable interconnect delays and 5.0 V supply operation.

This device targets designs such as bus interfaces, high-speed controllers and data-path logic where 336 logic elements and 68 user I/O pins enable integration of multiple functions into a single surface-mount PLCC package. The device is RoHS compliant and rated for commercial operating temperatures.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 336 logic elements (LEs) organized in 42 LABs, supporting approximately 4,000 gates for mid-range programmable logic integration.
• I/O and Packaging — 68 user I/O pins in an 84‑pin LCC (J‑lead) surface-mount package (84‑PLCC, 29.31 × 29.31 mm footprint), enabling compact board-level integration.
• Power and Supply — Single 5.0 V supply range (4.75 V to 5.25 V) consistent with legacy 5 V systems and peripherals.
• Temperature and Grade — Commercial grade with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Memory — No on-chip RAM (Total RAM Bits: 0), suitable when logic and register resources are the primary requirement.
• Boundary-Scan (JTAG) — JTAG boundary-scan test (BST) support as provided by the FLEX 8000 family, enabling device-level testability and system debug.
• System-Level Features — Family-level features include in-circuit reconfigurability (ICR), programmable output slew-rate control, dedicated carry and cascade chains, and a FastTrack continuous routing structure for predictable interconnect delays.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Bus Interfaces: Integrate and bridge multiple bus segments or TTL-level peripherals using the device’s 68 I/O pins and 336 logic elements for protocol logic and glue functions.
• High-Speed Controller Logic: Implement control and timing logic for controllers where predictable interconnect and dedicated carry/cascade resources accelerate arithmetic and control paths.
• Data-Path and DSP Support: Use the register-rich architecture and logic array to implement wide-data-path manipulation, counters, comparators and other data transformation functions.
• Coprocessor and Glue Logic: Consolidate glue logic and coprocessor interfaces into a single surface-mount PLCC device to reduce board-level component count.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, Surface-Mount PLCC Package: 84‑pin PLCC (29.31 × 29.31 mm) provides a small-footprint option for commercial boards where space is constrained.
• Balanced Logic and I/O Count: 336 logic elements paired with 68 I/O pins enables efficient partitioning of control, glue, and data-path functions without over-provisioning.
• 5 V System Compatibility: Operates from a 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply, making it suitable for existing 5.0 V peripherals and legacy systems.
• Testability and Debug: JTAG boundary-scan support simplifies board-level testing and in-system debug workflows.
• Predictable Routing and Arithmetic Support: FastTrack routing and dedicated carry/cascade chains from the FLEX 8000 family help deliver consistent timing and efficient arithmetic implementations.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets RoHS environmental requirements for lead-free assembly processes.
