EPF8820ATI144-2 Visão geral

The Intel (formerly Altera) EPF8820ATI144-2 is a member of the FLEX 8000 family of CMOS Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), delivering 672 logic elements (LEs) in a 144-pin Plastic Quad Flat Pack (PQFP) package with 112 user I/O pins and 4 dedicated inputs. It is graded for the industrial temperature range and operates from a 4.5V to 5.5V single supply with a nominal VCC of 5V.

An FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) is a semiconductor device built around an array of configurable logic blocks (CLBs), programmable interconnects, and I/O cells, allowing the designer to implement arbitrary digital logic after PCB fabrication. In the system hierarchy, the FLEX 8000 family sits under SRAM-based programmable logic -> programmable logic device -> logic IC -> integrated circuit. The EPF8820 targets glue-logic, bus-interface, and low-to-medium-density state-machine applications where a small ASIC would otherwise be required.

Key features include 1.7 ns pin-to-pin propagation delay through the FastTrack interconnect, 84 Logic Array Blocks (LABs), continuous FastTrack routing for predictable timing, and built-in JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) boundary-scan support. The 0.50 mm terminal-pitch PQFP-144 (S-PQFP-G144) package supports surface mounting and is compatible with standard SMT assembly lines. The device is configured at power-up from a serial PROM or microcontroller via the FLEX 8000 passive serial/parallel configuration scheme.

Architecturally, the EPF8820A uses an SRAM configuration cell, requiring an external boot device on every power cycle. Each LE contains a 4-input LUT, a programmable register, and a carry chain for arithmetic. The 84 LABs are arranged in rows and columns around the periphery, with 16 LEs per LAB and dedicated cascade chains for wide fan-in functions. The I/O ring supports 5V-tolerant inputs on a 5V VCCIO, plus programmable slew-rate and pull-up resistors.

Typical applications include industrial control glue logic, telecommunications backplane interface bridging, custom peripheral expansion for embedded microprocessors, and legacy 5V system upgrades that cannot move to 3.3V FPGAs. The 1.7 ns tPD also makes it useful for fast custom-state-machine replacement of discrete 74-series logic.

When designing, treat the EPF8820ATI144-2 as an SRAM FPGA: a configuration source (EPC1, EPC2, or a microcontroller) is mandatory because internal SRAM is volatile. Ensure VCC ramps monotonically per the FLEX 8000 handbook; an incomplete power-up can corrupt configuration and cause bus contention on the outputs. Place a 0.1 uF decoupling capacitor at every VCC/VCCIO pin and provide a low-impedance ground plane.

This page consolidates distributor pricing, real FLEX 8000 family drop-in alternatives, and practical design guidance beyond what is reproduced in the legacy Altera datasheet.

Aplicações típicas

EPF8820ATI144-2 é adequado para 6 aplicaçãos: Industrial Glue Logic Replacement, Legacy 5V Telecom Backplane Bridging, Custom Peripheral Expansion for Embedded CPUs, Fast State-Machine Replacement, Test and Measurement Instrument Logic, Aerospace and Defense Legacy Avionics.

🏭

Industrial Glue Logic Replacement

The EPF8820ATI144-2's 672 logic elements and 1.7 ns tPD make it a strong drop-in replacement for banks of 74-series glue logic on 5V industrial backplanes. Its industrial temperature grade ensures reliable operation in factory-floor enclosures from -40C to +85C. Configure the device from an EPC1/EPC2 serial PROM and use the 112 user I/Os to consolidate address decoding, bus arbitration, and interrupt steering that previously required dozens of discrete gates.

🌐

Legacy 5V Telecom Backplane Bridging

5V telecommunications backplanes that pre-date the 3.3V transition still rely on FLEX 8000 devices for protocol bridging and clock-domain crossing. The EPF8820ATI144-2 operates from a single 5V rail and supports JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) boundary-scan for in-system test, which is critical for telecom card maintenance. Use it to bridge TTL and CMOS bus standards, generate proprietary framing signals, or implement custom serial protocols unavailable in standard logic ICs.

🖥️

Custom Peripheral Expansion for Embedded CPUs

The EPF8820ATI144-2 can extend an embedded 8051, x86, or Motorola 68k processor with custom peripherals - timers, PWM, custom bus masters, or proprietary interfaces - without requiring a new ASIC. The 1.7 ns combinatorial delay supports peripheral cycles up to 50 MHz, and the FLEX 8000 passive-parallel configuration allows in-system reconfiguration from the host CPU. This was a common architecture in 1990s industrial PCs and remains useful for legacy support.

🔧

Fast State-Machine Replacement

Complex Mealy and Moore state machines with 20+ states become impractical in discrete 74LS/74HC logic but fit easily into 672 LEs. The EPF8820ATI144-2's 1.7 ns tPD allows state transitions at clock rates up to 50 MHz, supporting fast custom controllers, protocol decoders, and sequencers. Engineers often use one FLEX 8000 to replace several pages of discrete state-machine schematics on a single 5V board.

📺

Test and Measurement Instrument Logic

Bench-top test equipment in the late 1990s and early 2000s used FLEX 8000 devices for timing generators, custom counters, and proprietary bus interfaces. The EPF8820ATI144-2's industrial temperature grade and 5V supply tolerance suit lab and production-floor instruments that must coexist with TTL-level probes. JTAG support simplifies factory test, and the FastTrack interconnect gives predictable timing paths for metrology applications.

✈️

Aerospace and Defense Legacy Avionics

Many long-lifecycle aerospace and defense platforms built in the 1990s still contain FLEX 8000 FPGAs on 5V avionics buses, and obsolescence management requires qualified drop-in replacements. The EPF8820ATI144-2 industrial temperature grade and 1.7 ns tPD fit these applications, although new defense designs should consider radiation-tolerant FPGAs. Sustainment programs source the part through controlled aftermarket distributors with full traceability.

What is the logic capacity of EPF8820ATI144-2?
The EPF8820ATI144-2 provides 672 logic elements (LEs) organized into 84 Logic Array Blocks (LABs), with 16 LEs per LAB. According to the Altera FLEX 8000 datasheet, the 8820A is the smallest 5V SRAM FPGA in the family, sitting below the EPF81188A and above the EPF8452A. It targets glue-logic and small state-machine designs at 1.7 ns tPD.
How many user I/O pins does EPF8820ATI144-2 have?
The EPF8820ATI144-2 provides 112 user I/O pins plus 4 dedicated inputs in its 144-pin PQFP package. According to the Altera FLEX 8000 device overview, this is the maximum I/O configuration for the EPF8820A device; smaller packages on the same die (100-pin TQFP, 84-pin PLCC) reduce user I/O counts proportionally.
What is the operating voltage of EPF8820ATI144-2?
The EPF8820ATI144-2 operates from a 4.5 V to 5.5 V single supply with a nominal VCC of 5 V. According to the verified distributor data, this 5V VCCINT makes it one of the last SRAM FPGAs to support pure 5V system designs. The device is not 3.3V-tolerant; for 3.3V-only designs, choose a FLEX 8000A 3.3V variant or migrate to a MAX 7000A CPLD.
Is EPF8820ATI144-2 still in production or obsolete?
The EPF8820ATI144-2 is listed as obsolete by Intel/Altera. The FLEX 8000 family was discontinued more than two decades ago and is now supported only through legacy distributors and aftermarket stock. For new designs Intel recommends the MAX II CPLD family or Cyclone IV/10 FPGAs; the EPF8820A is suitable only for maintenance of existing 5V systems.
What is the propagation delay of EPF8820ATI144-2?
The EPF8820ATI144-2 has a pin-to-pin propagation delay of 1.7 ns through the FastTrack interconnect, as listed on the MicrochipUSA product page. This figure reflects the typical combinatorial path delay from input pad to output pad; registered paths add the LE setup time. Designers should consult Quartus timing reports for real-world fMAX per design.
Where to buy EPF8820ATI144-2 online?
As of 2026-09-12, the EPF8820ATI144-2 is available through legacy distributors listed on Octopart, including Microchip USA, Vyrian, Partstack, Digiode, and Corphita. Stock is limited because the part is obsolete; lead times vary by distributor and quantity. XAIPART consolidates these listings to simplify sourcing for legacy industrial and telecom systems.
What is the price of EPF8820ATI144-2?
As of 2026-09-12, the EPF8820ATI144-2 unit price at qty 1 is approximately USD 38.50, dropping to USD 19.85 at qty 1000. The part is obsolete so pricing is driven by remaining distributor stock; small-quantity pricing is high because suppliers price for legacy support rather than volume production. Always request a fresh quote before committing to a BOM.
What is the lead time for EPF8820ATI144-2?
As of 2026-09-12, lead time for EPF8820ATI144-2 is typically 4 to 12 weeks depending on distributor stock and quantity. Because the FLEX 8000 family is obsolete, no factory production is available; suppliers ship from existing inventory or licensed aftermarket stock. Engineering teams should plan for buffer stock and second-source qualification.
Is EPF8820ATI144-2 in stock at major distributors?
Stock for the obsolete EPF8820ATI144-2 is fragmented across legacy and aftermarket distributors. As of 2026-09-12, Octopart reports scattered inventory at Microchip USA, Vyrian, and Digiode, but not at the original authorized channels like DigiKey or Mouser (the DigiKey listing visible in search results is for the commercial-temperature EPF8820ATC144-2, not the industrial -2 part).
What is the difference between EPF8820ATI144-2 and EPF8820ATC144-2?
The EPF8820ATI144-2 is graded for the industrial temperature range, while the EPF8820ATC144-2 is the commercial-temperature variant of the same die. Both share the 144-pin PQFP package, 672 LEs, 1.7 ns tPD, and identical pinout. Choose the -2 industrial variant for outdoor, factory-floor, or extended-temperature environments; the commercial 'C' variant is sufficient for office and lab equipment.
EPF8820ATI144-2 vs EPF8636A - which is better for a 5V industrial design?
The EPF8820ATI144-2 offers 672 LEs at 1.7 ns tPD in a 144-pin PQFP, while the EPF8636A in the same FLEX 8000 family provides approximately 432 LEs at similar speed. For new 5V industrial designs requiring minimal glue logic the EPF8820A is the higher-capacity choice; for cost-sensitive simple interfaces the EPF8636A in a smaller package is adequate. Both share the 5V VCCINT and configuration scheme.
What is the best drop-in replacement for EPF8820ATI144-2?
The best drop-in replacement for the EPF8820ATI144-2 in the same 144-pin PQFP is the EPF8820ATC144-2 (commercial temperature grade), or -4/-3 speed-grade variants of the same die such as EPF8820ATC144-4N. The 'AT' prefix indicates industrial grade; for the same temperature grade and pinout you must order another 'ATI144' speed variant. Cross-brand drop-ins in this package are not available.
When should I choose EPF8820ATI144-2 over a modern CPLD like MAX II?
Choose the EPF8820ATI144-2 when you must maintain a legacy 5V system that already has FLEX 8000 firmware and needs an exact pin-compatible replacement, or when you need 672 LEs of true FPGA logic with continuous routing. Modern MAX II CPLDs use 3.3V core and are not pin-compatible; migration requires a redesign and is not a drop-in. For new designs, the MAX II family is the recommended replacement.
Is there an Intel (Altera) equivalent for EPF8820ATI144-2?
Within the same FLEX 8000 family, the closest Intel/Altera equivalents are other speed-grade variants of the EPF8820A die - EPF8820ATC144-2 (commercial), EPF8820ATC144-3 (faster speed grade), and EPF8820ATC144-4 (fastest grade). All share the 144-pin PQFP pinout, so they are pin-compatible drop-ins. The 'I' suffix in EPF8820ATI144-2 specifically denotes industrial temperature grade.
Where to download EPF8820ATI144-2 datasheet PDF?
The EPF8820ATI144-2 datasheet is the legacy Altera FLEX 8000 datasheet (document covers the whole family), available from the Altera/Intel legacy literature archive at https://www.altera.com/content/dam/altera-www/global/en_US/pdfs/literature/ds/dsf8000.pdf. FPGAkey also hosts a copy and an associated pinout. The FLEX 8000 handbook contains detailed configuration, JTAG, and PCB-layout guidance.
Where to find EPF8820ATI144-2 pinout?
The EPF8820ATI144-2 pinout is documented in the Altera FLEX 8000 datasheet (dsf8000.pdf) and the FLEX 8000 handbook. The 144-pin PQFP assigns 112 user I/O plus 4 dedicated inputs around the package periphery, with VCCINT, VCCIO, GND, JTAG (TCK/TMS/TDO/TDI), and configuration pins (nSTATUS, nCONFIG, DCLK, DATA, nCE) in fixed locations. FPGAkey also reproduces the pin assignment table.

Guia de seleção

Choose the EPF8820ATI144-2 when you must maintain an existing 5V FLEX 8000 design and need an exact pin-compatible FPGA in the 144-pin PQFP with 672 LEs and 1.7 ns tPD. It is the right choice for industrial-temperature legacy systems that cannot accept a 3.3V core voltage. Choose the EPF8820ATC144-2 commercial variant for lab or office-temperature environments where industrial-grade is unnecessary; choose EPF8820ATC144-3 or -4 for higher fMAX targets. For new designs, do not select the FLEX 8000 family - Intel recommends the MAX II CPLD or Cyclone IV/10 FPGA families, which offer lower power, higher logic density, and modern tool support. The EPF8820ATI144-2 is intended for maintenance of legacy 5V systems where board redesign is not feasible.

Notas de projeto

Place a 0.1 uF ceramic decoupling capacitor at every VCCINT and VCCIO pin, plus a single 10-100 uF bulk tantalum or aluminum capacitor near the package. The EPF8820ATI144-2 draws significant transient current during configuration; bulk capacitance prevents VCC droop that could otherwise trigger an unintended reconfiguration. VCC must ramp monotonically from 0V to 5V in less than 100 ms per the FLEX 8000 handbook; an incomplete power-up sequence can leave the device in an undefined configuration state with output buffers enabled, causing bus contention with downstream logic.

Use a 4-layer PCB with dedicated power and ground planes; do not route long traces on VCC or GND. The 144-pin PQFP at 0.500 mm pitch is workable with standard 8-mil traces and 8-mil spaces; vias in the thermal pad under the PQFP body are not required because the package has no exposed die-attach pad. JTAG signals (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO) should be routed with 4-mil control of impedance and kept short to avoid reflections at the configuration clock frequency.

Three pitfalls are common when bringing up an EPF8820ATI144-2 design: (1) forgetting that the SRAM configuration is volatile and not providing a configuration PROM (EPC1/EPC2) - the device will not boot from flash; (2) leaving nCONFIG floating instead of tying it high through a 10 kohm pull-up, which causes the device to enter configuration mode spuriously; (3) driving the I/O pins before configuration completes, causing bus contention - the outputs are high-impedance during configuration but can drive weakly if the MSEL pins are set incorrectly. Always check the nSTATUS pin for a high state before enabling downstream logic.

Place the EPC1 or EPC2 configuration PROM within 50 mm of the FLEX 8000 device and route DCLK with a controlled-impedance trace to avoid configuration errors. The dedicated INPUT pins (141-144) are optimized for high-speed clock or clear signals - use them for global clock or global clear routing rather than dedicating an I/O pin, which saves the LAB-level clock network for other functions. Decoupling capacitors must be placed within 5 mm of the corresponding VCC pin per Altera's design guidelines.
