EPF8636ARC208-3

The EPF8636ARC208-3 is a FLEX 8000 series Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Altera designed for commercial embedded applications requiring programmable logic and flexible I/O. The device provides 504 logic elements and 136 signal I/Os in a 208-BFQFP exposed pad package, supporting a single supply range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V and commercial operating temperatures.

Key Features

• Core Logic 504 logic elements offering programmable combinational and sequential resources for custom logic implementation.
• Logic Capacity Approximately 6,000 gates of logic capacity suitable for glue logic, interface conversion and control functions.
• I/O 136 available signal I/Os to support multiple peripheral interfaces and board-level connectivity.
• Package & Mounting 208-BFQFP exposed pad package (supplier device package: 208-RQFP 28×28) in a surface-mount form factor for PCB assembly.
• Power Operates from a single supply range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V, aligning with common 5 V system rails.
• Temperature & Grade Commercial-grade device specified for 0 °C to 70 °C operating temperature range.
• Regulatory RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Commercial Embedded Systems — Implement custom control logic and timing in boards designed for commercial-temperature environments.
• I/O Expansion and Interface Bridging — Use the 136 I/Os to bridge and interface between multiple sensors, peripherals or communication buses.
• Glue Logic and Control Functions — Replace discrete logic with compact programmable logic for board-level signal management and sequencing.

Unique Advantages

• High I/O Count: 136 I/Os enable broad peripheral connectivity without additional interface chips.
• Compact, Surface-Mount Package: 208-BFQFP exposed pad package provides a dense footprint suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts.
• Standard 5 V Supply: Compatibility with 4.75 V–5.25 V supplies simplifies integration into existing 5 V systems.
• Commercial Temperature Rating: Specified 0 °C to 70 °C operation for mainstream electronic products targeted at commercial environments.
• RoHS Compliance: Meets lead-free and hazardous-substance requirements for contemporary manufacturing processes.
