EPF8820AQC208-2N Ringkasan

The Intel (formerly Altera) EPF8820AQC208-2N is a CMOS SRAM-based FLEX 8000 family FPGA with approximately 8,000 usable gates and 672 logic elements, packaged in a 208-pin Power Quad Flat Pack (PQFP/QFP). The device supports 152 user I/O pins, runs from a 5 V supply, and is fabricated on a 0.42 µm CMOS process node, achieving a maximum toggle frequency around 125 MHz with a propagation delay of roughly 5 ns.

An FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) is a programmable logic device that integrates configurable logic blocks, programmable interconnect, and I/O cells on a single die. Within the broader semiconductor taxonomy, FPGAs sit alongside CPLDs, microcontrollers, and ASICs as the dominant platforms for digital logic implementation. The FLEX 8000 family specifically targets register-rich, glue-logic and bus-integration applications, sitting hierarchically between low-density PLDs and high-density ASICs.

Key features of the EPF8820AQC208-2N include 672 logic elements, 152 user I/O pins, JTAG-based in-system reconfigurability via the ByteBlaster interface, four dedicated fast inputs, multiVolt I/O support for 3.3 V and 5 V interfaces, and a global low-skew clock network. The device uses a continuous SRAM configuration architecture, so it must be configured at every power-up by an external EPROM, an Altera EPC1/EPC1441 configuration device, or a system controller.

Architecturally, FLEX 8000 devices use a Logic Array Block (LAB) structure of 8 logic elements per LAB with shared carry chains and cascade paths, surrounded by a FastTrack Interconnect routing fabric. The embedded memory array holds the configuration bitstream, enabling live reconfiguration but making the part inherently volatile. The 5 V core and I/O operate at commercial temperature grade (0 to 70 °C), with the part produced under the FLEX 8000 family datasheet umbrella.

Typical applications include high-speed bus bridges, peripheral controllers in telecom and networking, industrial machine control glue logic, prototyping for ASIC replacement, and bus-intensive designs such as 32-bit RISC/CISC peripheral glue. The 152 I/O pins accommodate multiple parallel buses in a single device, eliminating external bus-multiplexing logic.

When designing with this part, ensure that configuration is supplied on every power-up using an EPC-series configuration device or microcontroller, and observe 5 V VCCINT and VCCIO decoupling guidelines. The part is EOL/legacy; new designs should consider Cyclone or MAX families.

Aplikasi Umum

EPF8820AQC208-2N cocok untuk 6 aplikasis: 32-bit Bus Bridge and Peripheral Glue Logic, Telecom and Networking Backplane Glue, Industrial Machine Control Logic, ASIC Prototyping and Logic Emulation, Legacy PCI/ISA Peripheral Design, Educational and Lab FPGA Platforms.

🌐

32-bit Bus Bridge and Peripheral Glue Logic

The EPF8820AQC208-2N's 152 user I/O pins and 8,000 usable gates make it well suited as a 32-bit bus bridge connecting microprocessors, memories, and peripherals in legacy 5 V systems. Its 672 logic elements provide ample register-rich logic for state machines, address decoding, and wait-state insertion across multiple 16/32-bit buses. Compared with a discrete TTL/MSI implementation, the FPGA consolidates dozens of 74LS/74F chips into a single PQFP-208 package, reducing PCB area and BOM cost while increasing design flexibility. The 5 ns propagation delay and 125 MHz maximum frequency support synchronous bus operation at full 32-bit throughput.

🌐

Telecom and Networking Backplane Glue

Telecom and networking backplanes frequently require glue logic for protocol conversion, address multiplexing, and high-pin-count bus arbitration. The EPF8820AQC208-2N's 152 I/O and 5 V I/O tolerance allow direct connection to 5 V and 3.3 V transceivers, simplifying multi-rail backplane design. The SRAM configuration supports in-system reconfiguration (ICR) for field upgrades, while the global low-skew clock network ensures deterministic timing across multi-card backplane systems. Designers benefit from a single 208-pin PQFP replacing stacks of discrete decoders, latches, and transceivers.

🏭

Industrial Machine Control Logic

In industrial machine control, the EPF8820AQC208-2N integrates I/O expansion, encoder interface, and PWM/timer logic into a single 5 V FPGA. Its commercial temperature range (0 to 70 °C) suits factory-floor enclosures, while 152 I/O pins handle parallel sensor/actuator wiring without external muxing. Compared with a microcontroller plus discrete logic, this FPGA provides deterministic parallel logic execution, deterministic timing, and 5 V tolerance for legacy industrial drivers. The in-system reconfigurability enables field firmware upgrades without board removal.

🖥️

ASIC Prototyping and Logic Emulation

The EPF8820AQC208-2N is commonly used as an ASIC prototyping vehicle because its 8,000 gates and 672 LEs allow mapping of mid-complexity ASIC RTL onto FPGA silicon for hardware/software co-verification before tape-out. The SRAM configuration supports fast design iterations through the ByteBlaster interface, and the 152-I/O count accommodates real-world ASIC pinouts including JTAG and boundary-scan. Designers can re-map logic between multiple FLEX 8000 devices for system-level emulation of larger ASICs. Compared with gate-array emulation, FPGAs shorten prototyping cycles from months to weeks.

🖥️

Legacy PCI/ISA Peripheral Design

Legacy PCI and ISA peripheral cards use the EPF8820AQC208-2N to implement bus interface, DMA control, and interrupt arbitration in a single 5 V FPGA. Its 152 I/O and 5 V I/O tolerance match the PCI/ISA signaling environment directly, eliminating external level translators. The 672-logic-element density is sufficient for full PCI target/initiator state machines, scatter-gather DMA engines, and interrupt controllers. Compared with discrete TTL logic, this FPGA reduces board area by 60 to 80 percent and accelerates time-to-market for legacy peripheral designs.

🎧

Educational and Lab FPGA Platforms

Universities and lab training centers historically adopted the EPF8820AQC208-2N for digital logic courses because its 208-pin PQFP and 5 V supply tolerate breadboard-friendly hookups. Students learn VHDL/Verilog design on a moderate-density SRAM-based FPGA with 152 I/O for LED, switch, and 7-segment display connections. Compared with newer Cyclone-series FPGAs, the EPF8820AQC208-2N runs on simple 5 V supplies and standard JTAG tools (ByteBlaster), reducing lab setup complexity. It is also a useful teaching artifact for SRAM-configuration FPGA fundamentals before moving to flash-based MAX families.

No. The EPF8820AQC208-2N is an obsolete / legacy Altera part. The FLEX 8000 family was discontinued years ago, with the part now sourced primarily from brokers and excess inventory channels. According to DigiKey and Octopart, the part is no longer factory-fresh; new designs should migrate to Altera Cyclone IV/V or MAX II/IV families.
What is the operating voltage of the EPF8820AQC208-2N?
The EPF8820AQC208-2N operates from a 5 V VCCINT supply with 3.3 V/5 V multiVolt I/O support. According to the Altera FLEX 8000 datasheet, both the core logic and I/O banks are 5 V-tolerant, enabling direct interfacing to TTL and CMOS peripherals in legacy 5 V designs.
How is the EPF8820AQC208-2N configured at power-up?
The EPF8820AQC208-2N is configured at every power-up via the Altera EPC1, EPC1213, EPC1064, or EPC1441 serial configuration device, an industry-standard parallel EPROM, or a microcontroller. Per the FLEX 8000 datasheet, the configuration data is loaded into on-chip SRAM because FLEX 8000 devices use CMOS SRAM configuration elements.
What is the difference between EPF8820AQC208-2N and EPF8820AQC208-2?
The EPF8820AQC208-2N is the commercial-temperature, lead-free / RoHS-tracked grade of the EPF8820AQC208-2 PQFP variant. According to the FLEX 8000 ordering information, the suffix 'N' typically indicates lead-free / Pb-free assembly compliance, while the base part differs only in plating or finish. Both share identical silicon, die, and pinout.
Where can I buy the EPF8820AQC208-2N today?
The EPF8820AQC208-2N can be purchased from brokers and excess-inventory distributors such as Jotrin, IC Components, Vyrian, Partstack, and FPGAkey. As of 2026-09-12, IC Components lists reference stock of approximately 6,200 pieces at $8.20 unit price; pricing from open-market sources varies with availability, so multiple distributor quotes are recommended.
What is the lead time for EPF8820AQC208-2N orders?
Lead time for the EPF8820AQC208-2N is inventory-dependent because the part is obsolete at the factory. Brokers typically ship from stock in 3 to 10 business days; larger quantities may require 2 to 4 weeks because stock is drawn from excess and OEM tail-end inventory channels rather than factory production. As of 2026-09-12, IC Components lists in stock.
EPF8820AQC208-2N vs EPF8636AQC208-3 - which is better for a 32-bit bus bridge?
The EPF8820AQC208-2N offers more usable gates (8,000 vs 6,000) and logic elements (672 vs 576) than the EPF8636AQC208-3, while both share the same 208-pin PQFP package and 5 V supply. For a 32-bit bus bridge needing 152 I/O, either works, but choose EPF8820AQC208-2N when additional logic headroom is needed and EPF8636AQC208-3 when cost is more critical than gate count.
Is there a drop-in Altera replacement for EPF8820AQC208-2N?
No identical drop-in Altera replacement exists in the same die/package family, but the EPF8820AQC208-2 (commercial, non-N finish), EPF8820AGC192-2 (different pin count), and EPF8820ABC225-3/4 (BGA-225, cross-package) are same-family parts. The closest footprint match in the same 208-pin PQFP package is the EPF8820AQC208-2; for true drop-in please refer to alternates listed on this page.
What is the best cross-brand equivalent for the EPF8820AQC208-2N?
True cross-brand drop-in equivalents for the Altera FLEX 8000 family are not available because the FLEX 8000 LAB/LE architecture and SRAM configuration scheme are Altera-proprietary. The closest functional alternatives are Xilinx XC4000-series FPGAs of similar gate count, but they require new place-and-route tooling and a complete design re-mapping - not drop-in compatible.
Where can I download the EPF8820AQC208-2N datasheet PDF?
The official Altera FLEX 8000 datasheet PDF can be downloaded from alternasemi.com at https://alterasemi.com/datasheet/alterasemi/EPF8820AQC208-2N.pdf or via the Octopart/DigiKey product pages linked on this listing. Note that the original Altera datasheet archive is now under Intel FPGA branding since the 2015 acquisition of Altera by Intel.
Where can I find the EPF8820AQC208-2N pinout?
The EPF8820AQC208-2N pinout is documented in the FLEX 8000 datasheet, in the 208-pin PQFP package diagram section. According to the datasheet, the 208 pins include 152 user I/O, dedicated JTAG pins (TCK/TMS/TDO/TDI), dedicated input pins, configuration pins (nSTATUS, CONFIG_DONE, nCONFIG), clock pins, and VCC/GND. Pin 1 is identified by the dot marker on the package.

Panduan Pemilihan

Choose the EPF8820AQC208-2N when you need a 5 V, lead-free compliant, 152-I/O Altera FLEX 8000 FPGA in the 208-pin PQFP for legacy bus-bridge, glue-logic, or ASIC prototyping designs where the lead-free plating matters. If you do not strictly need the N (Pb-free) finish, the EPF8820AQC208-2 is identical silicon at potentially lower cost. For tighter timing budgets, migrate to the EPF8820AQC208-3 or -4 speed grades. If your design fits within 6,000 usable gates and 576 LEs, the EPF8636AQC208-3/4 family offers cost savings in the same PQFP-208 footprint. New designs should target Cyclone IV/V or MAX II/IV instead of the obsolete FLEX 8000 family.

Catatan Desain

The EPF8820AQC208-2N requires a stable 5 V VCCINT supply plus separate VCCIO rails (3.3 V or 5 V per bank). During SRAM configuration, ICC surges to its maximum as internal logic blocks initialize; bulk-decouple VCCINT with at least one 100 µF electrolytic plus 0.1 µF ceramics per VCC pin. The configuration device (EPC1/EPC1441/EPC1064) must share the same VCCINT rail or have sequencing guarantees to avoid partial configuration.

Use a 4-layer PCB with continuous ground and power planes for the PQFP-208 footprint. Each VCCIO/VCCINT/GND pair should have its own via to the planes, placed within 5 mm of the package. Maintain 50 Ω controlled impedance on critical clock and JTAG traces to avoid signal-integrity issues; route the global clock pins (CLK0/CLK1/CLK2) with matched lengths to minimize skew across LABs.

Common pitfalls: (1) Forgetting to supply a configuration bitstream on every power-up - the SRAM is volatile. (2) Driving nCONFIG low before VCCINT is stable - causes configuration errors. (3) Mixing 3.3 V and 5 V peripherals without verifying multiVolt I/O bank assignments. (4) Ignoring ByteBlaster JTAG pull-ups - can cause boundary-scan failures. (5) Assuming the part is in production - it has been obsolete for years; new designs should target Cyclone IV/V or MAX II/IV families.
