EPF8636ARC208-4

The EPF8636ARC208-4 is a FLEX 8000 field-programmable gate array (FPGA) IC from Altera. It delivers 504 logic elements and 6,000 gates with up to 136 digital I/O in a 208-BFQFP exposed pad surface-mount package.

Designed for commercial-temperature applications, the device operates from a 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply range and is RoHS compliant, offering a compact, standards-compatible option for designs that require moderate programmable logic and a high I/O count.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity 504 logic elements and approximately 6,000 gates provide programmable logic resources for custom digital functions.
• High I/O Count 136 user I/O pins support a broad set of external interfaces and parallel signals in a single device.
• Memory No on-chip RAM bits reported (0 bits), enabling predictable external memory planning where required.
• Power Supports a 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply range for compatibility with 5 V system domains.
• Package and Mounting 208-BFQFP exposed pad package (supplier device package: 208-RQFP, 28×28) in a surface-mount form factor for compact board layouts and thermal conduction through the exposed pad.
• Operating Range Commercial-grade operating temperature of 0°C to 70°C for standard commercial applications.
• Compliance RoHS compliant, meeting common environmental restrictions for lead-free assemblies.

Typical Applications

• Custom logic implementation Use the 504 logic elements to implement application-specific state machines, control logic, and glue logic in compact designs.
• High-density I/O control Leverage 136 I/O pins to consolidate multiple parallel interfaces or sensor/actuator connections on a single FPGA.
• Board-level integration The exposed pad 208-BFQFP package and surface-mount mounting simplify board layout for space-constrained commercial products.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced logic and I/O Combines 504 logic elements with 136 I/O pins to support mid-range logic implementations while minimizing external glue circuitry.
• 5 V system compatibility Operates across a 4.75 V–5.25 V supply window, aligning with legacy 5 V designs.
• Compact, thermally aware package 208-BFQFP exposed pad helps simplify mechanical integration and thermal conduction in surface-mount assemblies.
• Commercial-grade suitability Rated for 0°C to 70°C operation to match typical commercial product environments.
• Environmentally compliant RoHS compliance supports lead-free manufacturing requirements.
