EPF8636AQC160-3N

The EPF8636AQC160-3N is a member of the FLEX 8000 programmable logic device family, delivered in a 160‑pin BQFP package for surface‑mount assembly. The device implements a fine‑grained logic architecture using 504 logic elements organized across 63 LABs and targets applications requiring moderate gate count (approximately 6,000 gates) with abundant I/O connectivity (118 pins).

Optimized for commercial applications, the EPF8636AQC160-3N supports 5.0 V system operation (4.75 V to 5.25 V) and standard commercial temperature range (0 °C to 70 °C), providing a compact, reconfigurable building block for bus interfaces, controllers, and TTL integration tasks.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity 504 logic elements across 63 LABs, corresponding to roughly 6,000 usable gates for implementing control logic, glue logic, and mid‑density combinational or sequential functions.
• I/O Density 118 user I/O pins in a 160‑pin package, enabling integration of multiple buses, parallel data paths, and extensive peripheral interfacing.
• Programmable Architecture FLEX 8000 family architecture with compact 4‑input LUTs and programmable registers, offering register‑rich logic for data path and control implementations.
• Flexible Interconnect Continuous routing structure with dedicated carry and cascade chains to accelerate arithmetic and high‑fan‑in logic functions (features provided by the FLEX 8000 family).
• Supply and Mounting Operates from 4.75 V to 5.25 V and is supplied in a surface‑mount 160‑BQFP package (supplier device package listed as 160‑PQFP, 28×28), simplifying PCB layout for commercial designs.
• Embedded Memory No on‑chip RAM bits—suitable for designs that use external memory or require tightly controlled deterministic logic resources.
• Environmental Compliance RoHS compliant, meeting common environmental requirements for commercial electronic products.
• Commercial Temperature Grade Rated for operation from 0 °C to 70 °C, appropriate for consumer and general commercial electronic applications.

Typical Applications

• Bus Interfaces and Glue Logic Use the EPF8636AQC160-3N to consolidate multiple TTL interfaces and bus controllers into a single programmable device, reducing board complexity.
• High‑Speed Controllers Implement control and sequencing logic for motor controllers, peripheral controllers, or custom state machines that benefit from reconfigurable logic.
• Coprocessor and Data Path Acceleration Offload custom arithmetic or data‑path functions using the device’s dedicated carry and cascade resources for faster implementation of adders and comparators.
• TTL Integration and System Glue Integrate legacy TTL signals and discrete logic replacement where a 5.0 V I/O environment is required.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic Density: 504 logic elements (~6,000 gates) provide a mid‑range option that fits many control, interfacing, and glue logic needs without overspecifying capacity.
• High I/O Count in Compact Package: 118 I/O pins in a 160‑pin BQFP enable multiple parallel interfaces and bus integrations while maintaining a compact footprint.
• Family‑Level Routing Features: FLEX 8000 continuous routing and dedicated arithmetic/cascade chains simplify implementation of arithmetic-heavy and high‑fan‑in functions using available synthesis tools.
• Commercial Readiness: 5.0 V supply range and 0 °C to 70 °C rating align with common commercial system requirements for consumer and business equipment.
• RoHS Compliance: Environmentally compliant supply supports ongoing regulatory requirements for commercial products.
