EPF8820WM883B-3

The EPF8820WM883B-3 is a FLEX 8000 series field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Altera. It provides a compact, reprogrammable logic resource with 672 logic elements and approximately 8,000 gates in a 208-pin CQFP surface-mount package.

Designed for applications that require a moderate logic count with a high pin count and rugged environmental performance, this FPGA supports operation from 4.5 V to 5.5 V and a military-grade temperature range of −55 °C to 125 °C.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 672 logic elements and approximately 8,000 gates for implementing control, glue-logic and moderate-density custom logic functions.
• I/O Count — 152 general-purpose I/O pins to support wide parallel interfaces and multiple peripheral connections.
• Power — Single-supply operation from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, compatible with common 5 V system rails.
• Package & Mounting — 208-pin Ceramic Quad Flat Package (208-CQFP) in a surface-mount form factor for board-level assembly.
• Environmental & Grade — Military-grade device with an operating temperature range from −55 °C to 125 °C for use in harsh environments.
• Memory — Total on-chip RAM bits: 0 (no embedded RAM).

Typical Applications

• Military and Defense Systems — Suited for control, timing and interface functions where military-grade temperature range and reliability are required.
• Embedded Control and Interface — Useful in designs that need up to 672 logic elements and 152 I/Os to implement custom peripheral interfaces and control logic in a compact package.
• Ruggedized Industrial Electronics — Applicable to industrial equipment requiring wide-temperature operation (−55 °C to 125 °C) and standard 5 V supply compatibility.

Unique Advantages

• Military-grade temperature tolerance: Operation from −55 °C to 125 °C supports deployment in extreme-temperature environments.
• High I/O density: 152 I/Os deliver flexibility for parallel buses, sensor arrays and multiple peripheral interfaces without external I/O expanders.
• 5 V supply compatibility: Supports 4.5 V to 5.5 V system rails, simplifying power supply design in legacy and 5 V systems.
• Compact CQFP packaging: 208-CQFP surface-mount package balances pin count and board footprint for space-constrained boards.
• Moderate logic capacity for targeted designs: 672 logic elements and ~8,000 gates provide the right scale for glue logic, protocol bridging and small to medium custom logic blocks.
• Manufacturer backing: Produced by Altera, offering established FPGA design tooling and documentation for integration and development.
