EPF8636AQC160-4

The EPF8636AQC160-4 is a FLEX 8000 series FPGA in a 160-pin quad flat package, offered as a commercial-grade, surface-mount device. It provides a compact programmable-logic solution with 504 logic elements and 63 logic array blocks, making it suitable for embedded control, bus-interface, and logic-integration applications.

This device supports in-system configurability and series-level features such as dedicated arithmetic/cascade chains, flexible routing, and JTAG boundary-scan on selected devices, delivering integration and design flexibility for mid-density logic designs running at 5 V I/O domains.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 504 logic elements implemented across 63 logic array blocks, with a listed device gate count of 6,000 for mid-density programmable logic.
• I/O and Package — 118 user I/O pins in a 160-pin BQFP package (supplier device package noted as 160‑PQFP, 28×28 mm); surface-mount mounting for standard PCB assembly.
• Voltage Supply — Operates from 4.75 V to 5.25 V, supporting legacy 5 V systems and 5 V core operation.
• Operating Range — Commercial-grade operation from 0 °C to 70 °C for general embedded and consumer applications.
• On-chip Memory — No embedded RAM bits (Total RAM Bits: 0), designed for logic- and register-rich applications rather than on-chip storage.
• Configuration & Test — Family-level support for in-circuit reconfigurability and JTAG boundary-scan test circuitry on selected devices to simplify board bring-up and debug.
• Flexible Interconnect & Arithmetic Support — FastTrack continuous routing structure and dedicated carry/cascade chains (series-level) to simplify implementation of adders, counters, and wide fan-in logic.
• Output Control & Power — Programmable output slew-rate control to reduce switching noise; series-level low standby power characteristics are available in the FLEX 8000 family.
• RoHS Compliance — Device is RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Bus Interfaces — Integrate multiple parallel buses or bridge legacy TTL-level buses with a mid-density programmable logic device.
• TTL and Logic Integration — Combine and adapt discrete TTL logic functions into a single programmable device to reduce BOM and PCB area.
• Coprocessor and Acceleration Functions — Implement custom coprocessor assist logic and control path acceleration using dedicated arithmetic chains and plentiful registers.
• High-speed Controllers — Use the device’s flexible routing and I/O count to implement timing-critical control logic for embedded controllers.
• Design Prototyping and In-circuit Update — Take advantage of in-circuit reconfigurability for iterative development and field updates.

Unique Advantages

• Mid-density logic with compact footprint: 504 logic elements and 63 LABs provide substantial logic resources in a 160-pin surface-mount package for space-constrained designs.
• Flexible I/O compatibility: 118 user I/Os and 5 V supply support enable straightforward integration into existing 5 V systems and TTL logic environments.
• Design and debug support: Family-level JTAG boundary-scan and in-circuit reconfiguration simplify board-level testing, validation, and firmware updates.
• Dedicated arithmetic resources: Series-level carry and cascade chains accelerate implementation of adders, counters, and complex combinational logic without manual routing overhead.
• Controlled signal integrity: Programmable output slew-rate control helps manage switching noise on high-pin-count designs.
• Regulatory readiness: RoHS compliance supports lead-free assembly and environmental regulations.
