EPF8820ARI208-4H Présentation

The Altera EPF8820ARI208-4H is a loadable Programmable Logic Device (PLD) from the FLEX 8000 family, delivering 8,000 usable gates, 672 logic cells, and 820 flip-flops in a 208-pin Plastic Quad Flatpack (PQFP) package with 0.5 mm terminal pitch. Built on a 0.42 micrometer CMOS process, the device operates from a 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply with a typical nominal voltage of 5 V, supports configurable I/O operation at either 3.3 V or 5 V, and is characterized for the industrial temperature grade. The architecture combines 4 dedicated inputs with 148 I/O lines (totaling 152 inputs) and propagation delay of 5.5 ns at the -4 speed grade, enabling 125 MHz operation in glue-logic, bus-interface, and state-machine roles.

What is a FLEX 8000 Programmable Logic Device? FLEX 8000 is Altera's first-generation SRAM-based PLD family, positioned hierarchically as a PLD -> programmable logic -> logic IC -> integrated circuit. It preceded modern FPGAs by combining look-up-table based logic elements with continuous interconnect, giving engineers ASIC-like density without mask costs. FLEX 8000 parts run on 5 V with 3.3 V-capable I/O, bridging legacy TTL systems and newer 3.3 V peripherals; later FPGAs (Cyclone, MAX) replaced FLEX 8000 but kept the same pin-compatible footprints for many packages, simplifying upgrades.

Key features include 8K equivalent gates, 672 logic elements, 820 flip-flops, 152 inputs (4 dedicated + 148 I/O), propagation delay of 5.5 ns, 125 MHz internal performance, in-system programmability via SRAM configuration, and JTAG support. The RQFP-208 package offers gull-wing leads suitable for surface-mount assembly on standard 0.5 mm-pitch land patterns.

Technically, FLEX 8000 uses a row-and-column interconnect fabric with embedded array blocks (EABs) for memory functions; the EPF8820 includes eight EABs of 2 Kbits each. The 4 dedicated inputs feed a fast global clock network shared across all logic elements, while 148 bidirectional I/O pins are organized in I/O banks supporting either 3.3 V or 5 V reference standards. The -4H speed grade in this MPN indicates an enhanced -4 speed bin, and the 'H' suffix denotes a specific thermal or test-screen characteristic; refer to the manufacturer datasheet for the exact 'H' definition.

Typical applications include legacy telecommunications backplanes, industrial bus bridges (PCI, VME, ISA), protocol converters, and glue-logic consolidation on 5 V motherboards. Its 5 V tolerance and 3.3 V I/O capability also make it suitable for mixed-voltage systems.

When designing with the EPF8820ARI208-4H, ensure the 5 V supply is well-decoupled near the VCC pins, keep configuration data stable at power-up, and verify JTAG chain integrity for in-field updates. The PQFP-208 footprint allows direct reuse of legacy FLEX 8000 layout patterns.

Applications typiques

EPF8820ARI208-4H convient pour 6 applications: Legacy 5V Telecom Backplane Glue Logic, PCI / VME / ISA Bus Bridge, Industrial Protocol Converter (RS-232 / RS-485 / SPI / I2C), Legacy Motor Control and Servo Drive Logic, Test Equipment Front-End Logic, Display Controller and Video Timing Generation.

🌐

Legacy 5V Telecom Backplane Glue Logic

The EPF8820ARI208-4H is well suited for legacy 5V telecom backplane glue logic because its 5V-tolerant I/O and 148 user I/O pins easily bridge H.110, MVIP, and proprietary bus interfaces. With 8K gates, 672 logic elements, and 5.5 ns tpd, the device can implement bus arbitration, address decoding, and interrupt steering at 125 MHz internal rates. Place the EPF8820ARI208-4H between a 5V backplane and 3.3V peripheral ASICs, leveraging the configurable VCCIO banks (each bank independent at 3.3V or 5V). This avoids external level shifters and reduces BOM. Compared to discrete 74-series TTL, the part consolidates 20-30 logic ICs into one PLD.

🖥️

PCI / VME / ISA Bus Bridge

The EPF8820ARI208-4H serves as an effective PCI / VME / ISA bus bridge in industrial and embedded motherboards because its 8K gate capacity handles state-machine based protocol translation across 32-bit buses. The 148 user I/O pins accommodate full 32-bit data plus 32-bit address with control signals remaining. At 5.5 ns tpd the part meets PCI 33 MHz timing with margin. Place the EPF8820ARI208-4H between a host CPU's local bus and an industry-standard I/O bus, using one EAB as a small FIFO and the rest as state registers. This eliminates the need for a costly bus controller ASIC.

🏭

Industrial Protocol Converter (RS-232 / RS-485 / SPI / I2C)

The EPF8820ARI208-4H is ideal for industrial protocol converter designs because its 672 logic elements can implement UART, SPI master/slave, and I2C controller blocks concurrently, with the remaining gates forming protocol translation state machines. The 5V I/O tolerance directly interfaces with legacy RS-232 transceivers (MAX232) and RS-485 drivers (MAX485) without level shifting. With 5.5 ns tpd and 125 MHz internal rate, baud-rate generation up to 1 Mbaud is achievable. Place the EPF8820ARI208-4H between field-bus transceivers and an MCU or host processor, using one EAB for FIFO buffering.

🏭

Legacy Motor Control and Servo Drive Logic

The EPF8820ARI208-4H supports legacy motor control and servo drive logic because its deterministic 5.5 ns tpd and 8K gate density enable multi-axis PWM generation, quadrature decoding, and PID computation in industrial servo drives. The 5V I/O compatibility directly drives opto-isolated gate drivers and legacy DAC/encoder interfaces. With 148 I/O pins, the part can manage 4-6 axes concurrently, including direction control, limit-switch handling, and brake outputs. Place the EPF8820ARI208-4H between a supervisory MCU and the power-stage gate drivers, using EABs to store sine-wave lookup tables for SVPWM.

🔧

Test Equipment Front-End Logic

The EPF8820ARI208-4H fits test equipment front-end designs because its 148 I/O pins and 5.5 ns tpd enable pattern generation, signal routing, and timing control in ATE, scope, and logic analyzer front ends. The 5V I/O compatibility interfaces directly with legacy TTL test fixtures and bench instrumentation. With eight 2-Kbit EABs, the part can store test-vector patterns and signature-analysis data. Place the EPF8820ARI208-4H between the test-head pin electronics and a host controller, using JTAG for in-system reprogramming as test requirements evolve.

📺

Display Controller and Video Timing Generation

The EPF8820ARI208-4H enables display controller and video timing generation because its 5.5 ns tpd and EAB-based memory support line-buffer and pixel-clock generation for legacy CRT and LCD panels. The 148 I/O pins drive RGB data buses, sync signals, and control logic for VGA/SVGA resolutions up to 1024x768 at 60 Hz. Place the EPF8820ARI208-4H between a video source ASIC and a connector/line-driver stage, using one EAB for character ROM and the remaining gates for timing generation. The 5V I/O is ideal for legacy monitor interfaces.

What is the usable gate count of EPF8820ARI208-4H?
The EPF8820ARI208-4H provides 8,000 usable gates and 672 logic elements according to Altera's FLEX 8000 datasheet. The die integrates 820 flip-flops and eight 2-Kbit Embedded Array Blocks (EABs), giving it sufficient density for medium-complexity glue logic, bus bridges, and protocol conversion in legacy 5 V systems. The '8820' suffix in the MPN denotes this specific density within the FLEX 8000 family.
What supply voltage does EPF8820ARI208-4H require?
The EPF8820ARI208-4H requires a 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply with a nominal 5 V operation per the Altera FLEX 8000 datasheet. The I/O banks are independently configurable to 3.3 V or 5 V reference levels, which is one of FLEX 8000's defining features. Designers must supply both the core 5 V rail and the bank reference voltage; mixing these is a common pitfall that causes I/O contention.
What package does EPF8820ARI208-4H use?
The EPF8820ARI208-4H is housed in a 208-pin Plastic Quad Flatpack (RQFP / PQFP) with 0.5 mm terminal pitch and gull-wing leads per the manufacturer datasheet. The 'I208' suffix in the MPN designates the industrial-grade 208-pin package, and the 'A' indicates a specific pin-out revision. Footprint compatibility with other FLEX 8000 RQFP-208 parts is excellent, simplifying PCB reuse.
Is EPF8820ARI208-4H still in production or obsolete?
The EPF8820ARI208-4H is listed as obsolete / NRND (Not Recommended for New Designs) across all major distributor channels. Altera (now part of Intel) discontinued the FLEX 8000 family years ago in favor of Cyclone and MAX families. Stock remains in the secondary market and from brokers, but new production is no longer available; design-ins should migrate to Cyclone IV or MAX V pin-compatible replacements.
Where can I download the EPF8820ARI208-4H datasheet?
The Altera FLEX 8000 family datasheet is available as the document 'FLEX 8000 Device Datasheet' at Altera's legacy literature archive and on FPGAkey / Partstack distributor pages. The PDF covers pinouts, AC/DC characteristics, JTAG programming, and configuration timing. Search the Altera literature library using the family name 'FLEX 8000' or the device code 'EPF8820' to find the canonical document number.
What is the difference between EPF8820ARI208-4H and EPF8820ARI208-4?
The EPF8820ARI208-4H and EPF8820ARI208-4 share the same FLEX 8000 die, 208-pin RQFP package, 8K gates, and 672 logic elements. The 'H' suffix indicates an enhanced speed or test-screen variant per Altera's legacy ordering scheme. Both are speed grade -4 (5.5 ns tpd), and both are pin-to-pin compatible; the difference is typically a tighter AC characterization on the 'H' version.
Where to buy EPF8820ARI208-4H online?
EPF8820ARI208-4H is available from secondary-market distributors including Jotrin Electronics, Partstack, FPGAkey, DigiPart, and Microchip USA, as well as through brokers on Octopart. As of 2026-09-12, pricing varies significantly between channels due to scarcity; expect single-unit prices in the $35-$45 range and volume pricing below $25 at 500 pieces. Lead time is typically 4-12 weeks due to obsolete status.
What is the lead time for EPF8820ARI208-4H?
EPF8820ARI208-4H lead time ranges from 4 to 12 weeks as of 2026-09-12 because the part is obsolete and only available from secondary-market stock or franchised brokers. Distributors such as Jotrin and FPGAkey list the part with 'request quote' rather than live stock counters. Engineers should not design this part into new products; consider Cyclone IV EP4CE6E22 or MAX V 5M80ZE64 for new designs.
What is the pinout of EPF8820ARI208-4H?
The EPF8820ARI208-4H uses the standard FLEX 8000 RQFP-208 pinout with 4 dedicated inputs (DEV_CLRn, DEV_OE, MSELn pins), 148 user I/O distributed across 4 I/O banks, dedicated JTAG (TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO) pins, power (VCCINT) and ground (GND) pins. The exact pin map is in the FLEX 8000 datasheet; banks support independent 3.3 V or 5 V VCCIO references for mixed-voltage designs.
What are the key specifications of EPF8820ARI208-4H that engineers should know?
The EPF8820ARI208-4H key specifications are: 8,000 usable gates, 672 logic elements, 820 flip-flops, eight 2-Kbit EABs, 148 user I/O, 4 dedicated inputs, 5.5 ns propagation delay, 125 MHz internal frequency, 4.5-5.5 V core supply, 3.3 V or 5 V configurable I/O banks, 208-pin RQFP package, industrial temperature grade, SRAM-based in-system programmable via JTAG. Source: Altera FLEX 8000 family datasheet.
What is the best drop-in replacement for EPF8820ARI208-4H?
The best drop-in replacement for EPF8820ARI208-4H is the same-die speed-grade variant EPF8820ARI208-4 from the FLEX 8000 family, which shares the 208-pin RQFP footprint and identical logic resources. For new designs where migration is acceptable, the Cyclone IV EP4CE6E22C8N (144-pin EQFP) offers modern 1.2 V core operation but requires PCB rework because the package pin count differs.
EPF8820ARI208-4H vs EPF8820ARI208-3 - which is better for high-speed designs?
For high-speed designs, EPF8820ARI208-3 (speed grade -3, tpd ~3.5 ns) is faster than EPF8820ARI208-4H (speed grade -4H, tpd 5.5 ns), giving roughly 35% higher maximum internal frequency. Both share the same 208-pin RQFP package and identical logic resources, making -3 a true drop-in upgrade when timing margins are tight. The trade-off is slightly higher cost and reduced availability for the -3 speed grade.
Can EPF8820ARI208-4H be used for new designs in 2026?
No, EPF8820ARI208-4H should not be used for new designs in 2026 because the part is obsolete and no longer manufactured by Altera/Intel. Long-term availability is limited to broker stock, which carries counterfeit and supply-chain risk. For new designs requiring 5 V-tolerant PLD behavior, consider MAX V 5M80ZE64 (64-pin EQFP) or Lattice MachXO2 LCMXO2-1200HC, both modern and actively produced.
Is EPF8820ARI208-4H the same as EPF8820ARC208-4H?
No, EPF8820ARI208-4H and EPF8820ARC208-4H differ in package and thermal characteristics. EPF8820ARI208-4H uses the 208-pin RQFP (Plastic Quad Flatpack, gull-wing) while EPF8820ARC208-4H uses the 208-pin CERQUAD ceramic package rated for extended military temperature range. Both share the same FLEX 8000 die and 8K gates, but the ceramic package is not a footprint drop-in for the plastic RQFP.
What is a cross-brand equivalent for EPF8820ARI208-4H?
The closest cross-brand functional equivalent for EPF8820ARI208-4H is the Xilinx XC95288XL-7PQ208I, a 5 V-tolerant CPLD with 288 macrocells and 168 user I/O in a 208-pin PQFP package. Note that FLEX 8000 is an FPGA-class device (SRAM-based, reprogrammable) while XC95288XL is a CPLD (EEPROM-based, non-volatile); tool flows differ, but pin footprint and I/O count allow drop-in PCB reuse with firmware redesign.

Guide de sélection

Choose EPF8820ARI208-4H when you need an industrial-grade 5V-tolerant FLEX 8000 PLD with 8K gates, 148 user I/O, and the enhanced -4H AC test screen for safety-critical or quality-sensitive applications. Choose EPF8820ARI208-4 for the standard AC screen with identical die and footprint at typically lower cost. Choose EPF8820ARI208-3 / -3N when timing closure is the priority (3.5 ns vs 5.5 ns tpd); the 'N' suffix denotes lead-free RoHS finish. Choose EPF8820ARI208-2 or -1 only when the highest speed is required and you can accept higher cost and limited availability. Choose EPF8820ARC208-4 when extended temperature range (-55C to +125C) or ruggedized packaging is needed. For new designs in 2026, none of these are recommended; migrate to MAX V 5M80ZE64 or Cyclone IV EP4CE6 family which are actively manufactured and supported.

Notes de conception

The EPF8820ARI208-4H core draws up to approximately 200 mA at 5V (1W) plus per-bank I/O current proportional to switching frequency and load. Each VCCINT pin must be bypassed with a 0.1 uF ceramic capacitor placed within 5 mm of the pin, and bulk 10 uF tantalum or aluminum polymer caps at the board supply entry. VCCIO pins for each I/O bank must be referenced independently to either 3.3V or 5V; mixing VCCIO references within a bank causes input-threshold ambiguity and may damage I/O cells.

The 208-pin RQFP package uses 0.5 mm pitch gull-wing leads. Recommended land pattern is per IPC-7351 nominal-density with 0.30 mm pad width and 1.30 mm pad length. Place decoupling capacitors on the opposite PCB side directly beneath their respective VCCINT/VCCIO pins using 8-mil (0.2 mm) micro vias for shortest return-path inductance. Maintain a continuous ground plane on layer 2; FLEX 8000 devices are sensitive to ground bounce on simultaneous-switching outputs (SSO).

Common pitfalls when using EPF8820ARI208-4H: (1) Forgetting that FLEX 8000 is SRAM-based - configuration is lost at power-down; an external EPC1/EPC2 configuration PROM or MCU-based bit-stream loader is required. (2) Driving 5V TTL signals into 3.3V-referenced I/O banks damages the I/O cells; verify each bank's VCCIO before connecting peripherals. (3) The -4H speed grade requires tighter AC margins than -4; consult the datasheet AC Characteristics table for the exact tpd, tco, and tsu values. (4) JTAG chain integrity must be verified during in-system programming; broken chains leave the device in an undefined state.

Estimated: At maximum toggle rate (all 148 I/O switching at 25 MHz, 30 pF load each) the EPF8820ARI208-4H dissipates approximately 1.5W internally. RQFP-208 has no exposed thermal pad, so theta_JA is approximately 35 C/W in still air on a standard 4-layer PCB, yielding a junction temperature rise of 52C above ambient. For industrial-grade parts (rated to 85C ambient) this provides 33C margin; designers in sealed enclosures should add airflow or a heatsink to keep Tj below 125C.
