EPF8636AQC160-4 Présentation

The Intel (formerly Altera) EPF8636AQC160-4 is a member of the FLEX 8000 family of CMOS SRAM-based FPGAs, delivering approximately 6,000 usable gates with 504 logic elements housed in a 160-pin Power Quad Flat Pack (PQFP) package. The device is fabricated on a 0.42 µm CMOS process and supports a maximum toggle frequency of 125 MHz, making it suitable for glue-logic, bus-interface, and state-machine designs in legacy systems.

What is an FPGA? A Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a semiconductor device whose logic and interconnections are configured by the user after manufacture through SRAM look-up tables, routing matrices, and configurable logic blocks. FPGAs occupy the same hierarchical slot as programmable logic devices (PLDs) and complex PLDs (CPLDs) but offer far higher gate density, putting them above CPLDs and below mask-programmed ASICs in the programmable logic taxonomy.

Key features of the EPF8636AQC160-4 include 63 Logic Array Blocks (LABs), 118 user I/O pins, and 5 V core / I/O supply operation. The "-4" speed grade denotes the slowest of the FLEX 8000 commercial speed bins, trading frequency for lower cost. The device supports MultiVolt I/O, allowing 3.3 V and 5.0 V interface voltages on the same die, which simplified mixed-voltage board designs in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Architecturally, the FLEX 8000 family uses a continuous FastTrack interconnect routing fabric that delivers predictable, low-skew connections across the device, paired with embedded memory bits and look-up-table based logic elements. Configuration is loaded at power-up from a serial EPROM such as the EPC1, EPC1064, EPC1213, or EPC1441, or from a microprocessor or system controller.

Typical applications include industrial control glue logic, telecom backplane bus bridges, peripheral interface adapters, and legacy equipment retrofits where the design was originally captured against FLEX 8000 silicon. The wide 118-I/O count also supports parallel data-acquisition front ends and 32-bit processor co-processing in cost-sensitive platforms.

A critical design consideration is end-of-life status: FLEX 8000 devices are no longer recommended for new designs. Engineers should plan migration paths to Cyclone-series FPGAs or to MAX-series CPLDs when equivalent logic capacity is sufficient. Existing boards should expect distributor-only inventory and rising unit prices.

This page synthesizes distributor pricing, parametric comparison data, and practical design notes that are not consolidated in the original datasheet, supporting both procurement and engineering review for legacy boards still relying on FLEX 8000 silicon.
