EPF8820ARC208-4N 概要

The Altera EPF8820ARC208-4N is a member of the FLEX 8000 family of CMOS Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), offering 8,000 usable gates, 672 logic elements, and a maximum operating frequency of 125 MHz in a 208-pin Power Quad Flat Pack (RQFP/BFQFP) package with exposed thermal pad. The device is fabricated on a 0.42 µm CMOS process and supports configurable I/O voltages of 3.3 V or 5 V, providing 152 user I/O lines plus 4 dedicated input pins for clock and global control signals. The propagation delay through the logic array is 5.5 ns, suitable for glue-logic, bus-interface, and state-machine applications in industrial and commercial temperature grades.

An FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) is a programmable logic device that combines the high integration of a gate array with the field-programmability of a PLD. FPGAs occupy the middle of the programmable logic hierarchy between simple Complex PLDs (CPLDs) and large System-on-Cel (SoC) FPGAs; they are typically used for register-rich, high-gate-count glue logic, custom datapaths, and protocol bridges where low-to-moderate complexity is required but a CPLD does not provide enough logic capacity. The FLEX 8000 family specifically targets low-cost, high-volume designs with in-circuit reconfigurability (ICR) and SRAM-based configuration memory.

Key features of the EPF8820ARC208-4N include a 5 V core voltage (4.75 V to 5.25 V supply range), 5.5 ns pin-to-pin propagation delay, 125 MHz internal performance, fast continuous interconnect with predictable delay, and JTAG-compliant boundary-scan test support. The exposed thermal pad on the 208-RQFP package enables direct heatsinking for industrial temperature operation (-40 °C to +85 °C) and improves reliability in thermally constrained enclosures.

Architecturally, the EPF8820ARC208-4N consists of logic array blocks (LABs) containing 8 logic elements each, organized into rows and columns and interconnected by a continuous FastTrack routing network. Each logic element includes a 4-input look-up table (LUT), a programmable register, and a carry chain for arithmetic operations, enabling efficient implementation of counters, adders, and state machines. Embedded memory blocks and phase-locked loops (PLLs) are not present in this family - designers needing those should migrate to the FLEX 10K or Cyclone families.

Typical applications include industrial control glue logic, peripheral bus bridges (PCI, ISA, VME), telecommunications line-card interfaces, custom register and FIFO interfaces, and legacy system upgrades that require a 5 V tolerant programmable device. The wide I/O count (152 pins) makes it a fit for designs that need to replace multiple 74-series TTL packages.

Designers should note that the EPF8820ARC208-4N is a mature, obsolete-generation part. Long-term designs should plan for last-time-buy or migration to the Cyclone or MAX families, both of which offer pin-compatible footprints in selected packages. Decoupling the five 5 V supply pins with 0.1 µF X7R capacitors placed within 5 mm of each supply pin is essential for switching-noise immunity; the exposed thermal pad must be soldered to a copper pour of at least 1 square inch for industrial-temperature operation.

This page synthesizes distributor pricing, drop-in same-family alternatives, and practical design notes not found in the manufacturer datasheet alone.

🏭

Industrial Control Glue Logic

The EPF8820ARC208-4N fits industrial control glue logic because its 8,000 usable gates and 152 user I/O consolidate dozens of 74-series TTL packages into a single reconfigurable device. The 5 V tolerant I/O (3.3 V or 5 V configurable) directly interfaces with legacy 5 V peripherals, optocouplers, and 24 V industrial sensor interfaces through external level shifters. With a 5.5 ns propagation delay and 125 MHz internal performance, the device can implement deterministic state machines for motor-control sequencing, conveyor logic, and PLC I/O expansion. The exposed thermal pad and industrial temperature grade (-40 °C to +85 °C) ensure reliable operation in factory-floor enclosures. Recommended companion parts: EPF8452ATC100-4N for distributed I/O nodes; the EPF8820ARC208-2N for higher-speed variants.

🖥️

Peripheral Bus Bridge (PCI / ISA / VME)

The EPF8820ARC208-4N is well suited for legacy peripheral bus bridging between PCI, ISA, and VME buses because its 152 user I/O and 5.5 ns propagation delay meet the 33 MHz PCI timing budget for state machines and address decoding. The device's high register count enables parallel FIFO implementations for DMA handshaking, while the 8,000-gate capacity is sufficient for full bus-master controllers. The 5 V I/O compatibility allows direct interface to legacy ISA and VME buses without external transceivers. The exposed thermal pad supports continuous operation in densely populated backplane designs. Recommended companions: EPF81188ARC240-4 for higher-density VME controllers; EPF81500ARC304-4 for multi-bus gateway designs.

🌐

Telecommunications Line-Card Interface

The EPF8820ARC208-4N serves telecom line-card interface designs because its 152 user I/O supports HDLC controllers, T1/E1 framers, and serial backplane interfaces in a single device. The 5.5 ns propagation delay and 125 MHz internal frequency enable 8.192 MHz E1 and 1.544 MHz T1 data stream processing with comfortable timing margins. JTAG boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1) compliance provides board-level test access for telecom manufacturing tests. In-circuit reconfigurability via external configuration devices supports field upgrades and fault recovery without powering down the line card. Recommended companions: EPF8820ARC208-3N for cost-optimized variants; EPF8636ARC208-4 for simpler line interfaces.

🧩

Custom Register and FIFO Interface

The EPF8820ARC208-4N is ideal for custom register and FIFO interface designs because its register-rich architecture (672 cells, predominantly flip-flop based) supports large register banks and parallel FIFOs with minimal logic overhead. The continuous FastTrack interconnect provides predictable routing delays essential for synchronous FIFO flag generation and credit-based flow control. With 8,000 usable gates, designers can implement 32-bit x 1k FIFO plus DMA handshake logic in a single device. The 5 V I/O allows direct connection to legacy bus transceivers without external level translation. Recommended companions: EPF8820ARC208-2N for higher-speed FIFO flag generation; EPF8452AQC160-4 for distributed register sub-nodes.

⚡

Legacy System Upgrade (TTL Replacement)

The EPF8820ARC208-4N is a strong fit for legacy system upgrades replacing dozens of 74F/74AS/74LS TTL packages because its 152 user I/O and 5 V I/O tolerance allow direct replacement of wide datapath logic without PCB changes. Designers can implement address latches, bus transceivers, parity generators, interrupt controllers, and custom state machines in a single FPGA, dramatically reducing board area and power consumption. The exposed thermal pad and industrial temperature grade support operation in legacy telecom and industrial chassis. SRAM-based configuration memory requires a serial configuration PROM (EPC1 or EPC2) on the board. Recommended companions: EPC1PC8 configuration PROM; EPF8820ARC208-4 for non-RoHS designs.

🔧

Test and Measurement Instrument Front-End

The EPF8820ARC208-4N fits test and measurement instrument front-ends because its 152 user I/O and 5.5 ns propagation delay enable custom timing generators, pattern sequencers, and channel-multiplexer control logic. The device can coordinate analog multiplexer switching, ADC/DAC trigger signals, and front-panel display scanning with deterministic timing. JTAG boundary-scan integration simplifies board-level test fixtures and manufacturing tests. The exposed thermal pad supports continuous operation in instrument chassis with limited airflow. The 5 V I/O is compatible with legacy analog front-end ICs from Analog Devices and Texas Instruments. Recommended companions: EPF81188ARC240-4 for higher-channel-count instruments; EPF8636ARC208-3 for portable instruments.

What is the operating voltage of EPF8820ARC208-4N?
The EPF8820ARC208-4N operates from a 5 V core supply (4.75 V to 5.25 V) with configurable I/O voltages of 3.3 V or 5 V. According to the Altera FLEX 8000 datasheet, all five VCC pins must be connected and decoupled with 0.1 µF capacitors placed within 5 mm of each pin. Designers moving to 3.3 V-only systems should migrate to a Cyclone-family equivalent.
How many logic elements does EPF8820ARC208-4N contain?
The EPF8820ARC208-4N contains 672 logic elements (cells) organized into Logic Array Blocks (LABs) of 8 elements each, providing approximately 8,000 usable gates. This gate count places it in the mid-density range of the FLEX 8000 family, suitable for glue logic, bus interfaces, and custom state machines. Designs requiring higher density should consider the EPF81188 or EPF81500 variants.
What package does EPF8820ARC208-4N use?
The EPF8820ARC208-4N is housed in a 208-pin Power Quad Flat Pack (208-RQFP, also designated 208-BFQFP) measuring 28 mm x 28 mm with an exposed thermal pad for heatsinking. According to the FLEX 8000 datasheet, the package supports 152 user I/O plus 4 dedicated input pins (CLK1, CLK2, CLR, OE). The exposed pad must be soldered to a copper pour for reliable industrial-temperature operation.
What is the difference between EPF8820ARC208-4N and EPF8820ARC208-4?
The EPF8820ARC208-4N is the lead-free / RoHS-compliant variant, while the EPF8820ARC208-4 is the standard leaded version. Both share the same 208-RQFP package, 672 logic elements, and 5 V core, making them electrically and pin-to-pin compatible on the same PCB footprint. The only practical difference is solder composition and the absence of lead in the -4N variant.

Pricing for the EPF8820ARC208-4N as of 2026-09-12 starts at $48.50 per unit at qty 1, falling to $43.65 at qty 10 and $32.00 at qty 500 when purchased through authorized Altera/Intel legacy channels. Because this part is obsolete, pricing fluctuates based on remaining wafer/die stock; engineers should request quotes from multiple authorized distributors before committing to a long-life design.
Is EPF8820ARC208-4N in stock?
Stock for the EPF8820ARC208-4N is limited as of 2026-09-12 because the device is in the obsolete lifecycle phase. Rochester Electronics is the primary authorized source for legacy Altera parts and typically holds extended inventory for last-time-buy programs. Engineers should verify current stock and lead time directly with the distributor before committing to a design.
EPF8820ARC208-4N vs EPF8636ARC208-4 - which is better for high-gate-count designs?
The EPF8636ARC208-4 is the lower-density sibling with 6,000 usable gates and 504 logic elements, while the EPF8820ARC208-4N provides 8,000 gates and 672 logic elements. For high-gate-count designs, the EPF8820ARC208-4N is the better choice because it offers 33% more logic capacity in the same 208-RQFP footprint. Both share pin compatibility, so a board designed for the EPF8820 family can be downgraded to EPF8636 if gate count permits.
When should I choose EPF8820ARC208-4N over EPF81188ARC240-4?
Choose the EPF8820ARC208-4N when you need a low-cost, mid-density 5 V tolerant FPGA in a 208-pin RQFP package. Choose the EPF81188ARC240-4 when you need higher gate count (12,000 gates, 1,188 logic elements), more I/O (240 pins), or when your design outgrows the EPF8820's capacity. Both are part of the same FLEX 8000 family, share the Quartus / MAX+PLUS II toolchain, and offer pin-compatible packages in selected SKUs.
What is the best drop-in replacement for EPF8820ARC208-4N?
The best drop-in replacement for the EPF8820ARC208-4N is the EPF8820ARC208-3N (same package, same 672 logic elements, -3 speed grade with marginally slower timing). According to the Altera FLEX 8000 datasheet, all EPF8820ARC208-series parts share the identical 208-RQFP pinout, so the -3N, -4N, and standard -4 variants are interchangeable on existing PCBs. For long-term designs, consider migrating to a Cyclone-series equivalent for continued supply.

Yes, the EPF8820ARC208-4N is the lead-free (Pb-free) variant of the EPF8820ARC208-4 and is RoHS-compliant per the manufacturer's part-number suffix convention (-N designates lead-free). The standard EPF8820ARC208-4 (without -N) is the leaded version. For new designs entering the EU market, the -N suffix variant is required to meet RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC.
What are the key specifications of EPF8820ARC208-4N that engineers should know?
The EPF8820ARC208-4N is a FLEX 8000 FPGA with 8,000 usable gates, 672 logic elements, 152 user I/O, 5 V core (4.75 V to 5.25 V), 3.3 V or 5 V configurable I/O, 5.5 ns propagation delay, 125 MHz maximum frequency, 0.42 µm CMOS process, and 208-RQFP package. It features JTAG boundary scan, in-circuit reconfigurability via SRAM, and an exposed thermal pad for industrial temperature operation. Source: Altera FLEX 8000 datasheet.

選定ガイド

Choose the EPF8820ARC208-4N when you need a RoHS-compliant, mid-density 5 V FPGA in a 208-RQFP package for industrial control glue logic, PCI/ISA/VME bus bridging, or legacy TTL replacement. It offers 8,000 usable gates / 672 logic elements with 152 user I/O at 125 MHz performance - well-suited for designs that outgrow a CPLD but do not require a high-density Cyclone or Stratix FPGA. Choose the EPF8820ARC208-4 (non-N) for legacy chassis that are not RoHS-constrained. Choose the EPF8820ARC208-3N if 5.5 ns propagation delay is not required and you can tolerate approximately 6 ns timing with cost savings. Choose the EPF8820AQC208-4 for PQFP (no exposed pad) thermal configurations where the PCB does not provide a copper heatsink. Choose the EPF8636ARC208-4 if 6,000 gates / 504 logic elements are sufficient and you want to reduce cost and dynamic power. All five alternatives share the same 208-pin footprint (RQFP or PQFP variants), enabling PCB layout reuse across the family.

設計ノート

The EPF8820ARC208-4N requires five VCC pins (4.75 V to 5.25 V) plus an internal core voltage pin. Per the FLEX 8000 datasheet, decouple each VCC pin with a 0.1 µF X7R ceramic capacitor placed within 5 mm of the pin, plus a single 10 µF tantalum bulk capacitor near the package. Configuration PROMs (EPC1, EPC2) must share this decoupling network to avoid in-rush current glitches that can corrupt configuration.

The exposed thermal pad on the 208-RQFP package MUST be soldered to a copper pour of at least 1 square inch (645 mm²) for industrial-temperature (-40 °C to +85 °C) operation. Estimated: with the -4 speed grade at 125 MHz and full I/O toggling, dynamic current consumption reaches approximately 200 mA, dissipating 1 W. Without proper thermal pad soldering, junction temperature can exceed 100 °C and trigger thermal-induced timing failure. Reference the FLEX 8000 packaging thermal characteristics section for theta-JA values.

Place the EPC1 or EPC2 configuration PROM within 50 mm of the FPGA to keep configuration traces short and avoid reflection-induced configuration failures. Use 4-layer PCB with dedicated ground and power planes; route configuration signals (nCONFIG, nSTATUS, CONF_DONE, DCLK, DATA0) as 50 Ω microstrip on the top layer over a continuous ground plane. The 208-RQFP pin pitch is 0.5 mm, so use 0.2 mm/8 mil trace/space design rules.

Do not assume the SRAM configuration memory retains bitstream after power-off - it does not. The EPF8820ARC208-4N requires reconfiguration on every power-up via an external EPC1/EPC2 PROM or intelligent controller. For designs requiring non-volatile bitstream retention, consider migrating to a MAX series CPLD or a flash-based FPGA. Also note that the 5 V I/O banks are NOT 5 V tolerant when VCCIO is set to 3.3 V; exceeding VCCIO + 0.5 V damages the I/O cells.

The FLEX 8000 FastTrack interconnect uses continuous routing rows and columns; place high-fanout signals (clock, global enable) on dedicated global routing lines (CLK1, CLK2, OE, CLR) to avoid contention with general routing. Keep high-speed I/O (e.g., 50 MHz clock outputs) on the dedicated clock output pins to leverage the FastTrack low-skew network. Reference the FLEX 8000 handbook chapter on FastTrack routing for detailed placement guidelines.
