EPF8452AGC160-3 Tóm tắt

The Altera (Intel) EPF8452AGC160-3 is a member of the FLEX 8000 family of CMOS SRAM-based FPGAs, providing approximately 4,000 usable gates, 336 logic elements (LEs), and 120 I/O pins in a 160-pin Plastic Quad Flat Pack (PQFP/BQFP) package. The device operates from a 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply and is specified over the commercial 0 C to +70 C temperature range. The "-3" speed grade designates one of the faster FLEX 8000 timing options, suited for designs where toggle-rate or setup-time margin matters more than absolute minimum propagation delay cost.

A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a programmable logic device (PLD) containing an array of configurable logic blocks (CLBs), programmable interconnect, and programmable I/O cells. FPGAs sit at the top of the PLD hierarchy above SPLDs and CPLDs in logic density, and below ASICs in per-unit cost at very high volumes. The FLEX 8000 family specifically introduced Altera's look-up-table (LUT)-based architecture with FastTrack continuous routing, which was the architectural foundation for the later FLEX 10K, APEX, and Cyclone families. Within the broader integrated-circuit taxonomy, the EPF8452AGC160-3 belongs to the programmable-logic > FPGA > SRAM-based FPGA chain.

Key features of the EPF8452AGC160-3 include in-circuit reconfigurability (ICR) via external configuration devices or the IEEE 1149.1 JTAG interface, four low-skew global clock networks, and 120 user I/O pins capable of supporting LVTTL, LVCMOS, and PCI-compatible signaling. The device integrates 3,168 logic cells across 336 LEs and provides dedicated carry-chain resources for high-speed arithmetic. Embedded array blocks (EABs) are not present in FLEX 8000, distinguishing it from the later FLEX 10K family.

Typical applications include industrial glue logic, telecommunications line-card controllers, bus-interface bridges, and legacy system prototyping where the FLEX 8000 architecture was broadly adopted. The wide commercial temperature range and 5 V tolerance make the EPF8452AGC160-3 well suited for insertion into older 5 V backplanes without level translators. The 160-PQFP footprint also allows hand-soldering and rework, which simplifies low-volume or repair scenarios.

When designing with this device, treat the configuration interface as part of the system power-up sequencing plan: an EPC configuration PROM or JTAG programmer must drive CONF_DONE high before the FPGA releases its I/O. Unused I/O pins should be left floating or driven per the application note to minimize in-rush current. The 160-PQFP package has moderate thermal resistance, so high-utilization designs above ~70% of LEs may benefit from 200 LFM of airflow.

Ứng dụng tiêu biểu

EPF8452AGC160-3 phù hợp cho 6 Áp dụngs: Industrial Glue Logic Replacement, Telecom Line-Card Interface Bridge, Legacy Industrial Bus Protocol Converter, Test & Measurement Front-End Controller, Military & Aerospace Avionics Retrofit, Prototyping and Education Platform.

🏭

Industrial Glue Logic Replacement

The EPF8452AGC160-3 replaces discrete 74LS/74HC glue logic in legacy industrial controllers, consolidating dozens of small MSI devices into a single programmable device. Its 336 LEs and 120 I/O pins cover the typical gate-to-pin ratio of bus-isolation, address-decoding, and signal-conditioning circuits found in PLC backplanes and motor-control I/O cards. The 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply matches existing 5 V industrial rails without level translators, while the 0 C to +70 C commercial range suits factory-floor enclosures. Designers can store multiple logic configurations in a single EPC configuration PROM and swap personalities in-circuit, simplifying field upgrades and SKU variants across product families.

🌐

Telecom Line-Card Interface Bridge

The EPF8452AGC160-3 acts as a programmable bus bridge between legacy telecom line-card ASICs and modern backplane fabrics in T1/E1, ISDN, and early DSLAM equipment. Its 120 I/O pins accommodate parallel UTOPIA, H.110, or proprietary bus interfaces, while the four global clock networks route TDM bit-clock and frame-sync signals with sub-nanosecond skew. The 5 V tolerance allows direct connection to legacy 5 V line-interface units without external buffers. With 336 LEs, the device comfortably handles bus multiplexing, parity generation, and elastic-store buffering at low to medium line densities, and the in-circuit reconfigurability allows field protocol updates without board swap.

🏭

Legacy Industrial Bus Protocol Converter

In factory automation retrofits, the EPF8452AGC160-3 converts between Profibus, Modbus, DeviceNet, and proprietary fieldbuses on legacy equipment. The 336 LEs are sufficient to implement protocol-state machines, CRC checkers, and timing-critical interrupt handlers in a single device, replacing custom ASICs that have reached end-of-life. Its JTAG IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan interface enables in-system diagnostics and rapid prototype bring-up on existing PCBs. The 160-PQFP package with 28x28 mm body is also compatible with hand-soldering for repair and refurbishment of older machinery where surface-mount BGA rework would be impractical.

🔧

Test & Measurement Front-End Controller

The EPF8452AGC160-3 serves as a front-panel timing and pattern generator in bench-top oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and signal generators from the late 1990s and early 2000s. Its four global low-skew clock networks deliver matched-edge timing across multiple output channels, while the 120 I/O pins drive 7-segment displays, keyboard scanners, and GPIB/IEEE-488 interfaces. Designers can update test patterns in-circuit via JTAG, allowing lab engineers to add new test sequences without board modification. The 336 LEs fit typical waveform-arbitrary sequence, trigger-coincidence, and display-multiplex logic with margin.

✈️

Military & Aerospace Avionics Retrofit

Although specified only for commercial 0 C to +70 C, the EPF8452AGC160-3 has been widely deployed in military and avionics subsystems where the operating envelope is controlled. It implements ARINC 429, MIL-STD-1553, and discrete I/O aggregation in line-replaceable units (LRUs) for helicopters and commercial aircraft. Its SRAM-based architecture supports in-flight firmware updates via JTAG when the LRU is on the ground, and its 5 V tolerance matches the 28 V/5 V avionics power bus after DC-DC conversion. Long-life-cycle distributors still stock the EPF8452AGC160-3 specifically for avionics sustainment programs.

🖥️

Prototyping and Education Platform

The EPF8452AGC160-3 is a popular teaching example in university digital-design laboratories because it fits in a 160-PQFP package that students can solder by hand and its 336 LEs are enough to demonstrate processor cores, UARTs, and VGA controllers in a single lab session. The Altera MAX+PLUS II and Quartus design tools fully support FLEX 8000 synthesis and simulation, with abundant example designs in textbooks from the early 2000s. The JTAG interface allows students to program and debug directly from the host PC, and the 5 V tolerance means the device can be interfaced directly with TTL lab equipment without voltage translators.

What is the EPF8452AGC160-3 FPGA?
The EPF8452AGC160-3 is a member of the Altera FLEX 8000 family of SRAM-based FPGAs. According to the FLEX 8000 datasheet, it integrates 336 logic elements, 120 user I/O pins, and approximately 4,000 usable gates in a 160-pin PQFP package. It supports in-circuit reconfigurability via external configuration PROMs or the JTAG interface, and operates from a 4.75 V to 5.25 V single supply over the commercial 0 C to +70 C range.
What is the difference between EPF8452AGC160-3 and EPF8452AGC160-4?
The trailing "-3" and "-4" denote Altera's speed grades within the FLEX 8000 family. The EPF8452AGC160-3 is the faster of the two, delivering shorter propagation delays at the cost of slightly higher dynamic power. Both parts share the same 160-PQFP package, 336 LEs, and 120 I/O pins, making the -3 and -4 functionally and pin-compatible drop-in alternatives for each other when timing closure is acceptable.
How many logic elements and I/O pins does the EPF8452AGC160-3 have?
The EPF8452AGC160-3 contains 336 logic elements (LEs) and provides 120 user I/O pins. The FLEX 8000 datasheet specifies that each LE consists of a 4-input look-up table, a programmable register, and dedicated carry and cascade chains. With up to 16,000 usable gates in the family maximum, the EPF8452 occupies the lower-density end of the FLEX 8000 product line.
Where can I buy the EPF8452AGC160-3?
As of 2026-09-12, the EPF8452AGC160-3 is listed on distributor sites including DigiKey (stocked by Rochester Electronics), Octopart, IC-Components, Vyrian, and Components-House. Because the part is in the legacy FLEX 8000 family, primary distributors do not always carry stock, and pricing reflects the long-lifecycle/obsolete market tier. XAIPART can quote this part on request.
What is the lead time for the EPF8452AGC160-3?
Lead time for the EPF8452AGC160-3 is not fixed: as a long-lifecycle Altera FLEX 8000 part, availability is typically through authorized aftermarket distributors (Rochester Electronics, IC-Components, Vyrian) or component brokers. As of 2026-09-12, components-house.com lists in stock and full-electronic.com lists 40,471 pieces, suggesting prompt shipping for moderate quantities.
What is the price of the EPF8452AGC160-3?
As of 2026-09-12, single-piece pricing for the EPF8452AGC160-3 is approximately 38.50 USD, scaling down to about 23.10 USD at the 1,000-piece tier. Pricing varies by distributor and quantity. The device is a legacy FLEX 8000 FPGA, so quotes from franchised distributors and aftermarket specialists are recommended for production planning.
What is the operating voltage of the EPF8452AGC160-3?
The EPF8452AGC160-3 operates from a single 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply. The datasheet specifies 5 V nominal, which matches the 5 V tolerance commonly found in telecom line cards and legacy industrial backplanes. No separate VCCINT/VCCIO rails are required; all I/O banks are powered from the same 5 V rail as the core logic.
Is the EPF8452AGC160-3 pin-compatible with EPF8282 or EPF6010 FPGAs?
No. The EPF8452AGC160-3 in 160-PQFP is not pin-compatible with EPF8282 (84/100-pin packages) or EPF6010 (100/144-pin packages). The FLEX 8000 family uses different pin counts and pinouts than the FLEX 6000 and earlier FLEX 8000 devices. Within the FLEX 8000 family itself, the EPF8452 shares its 160-PQFP package and pinout with the EPF8636 and EPF8820 in the same package option.
What is the best drop-in replacement for the EPF8452AGC160-3?
The closest drop-in alternatives are other Altera FLEX 8000 family members in the 160-pin PQFP package with similar logic densities: the EPF8636AQC160 and EPF8820AQC160, which share the same package, footprint, and configuration interface. Cross-brand SRAM-based FPGAs of equivalent density are not pin-compatible; they require PCB rework. For modern designs, the recommended migration path is to Altera's Cyclone family (e.g., EP1C3, EP1C6 in 100/144-pin TQFP), but this requires a new PCB layout.
When should I choose the EPF8452AGC160-3 over a modern Cyclone FPGA?
Choose the EPF8452AGC160-3 when you must maintain compatibility with an existing FLEX 8000-based design, need a 5 V-tolerant I/O bank, or are repairing legacy equipment where PCB re-layout is not possible. For new designs, choose a Cyclone III/IV/V FPGA instead: they offer higher logic density at lower cost, lower power, and broader toolchain support. The EPF8452AGC160-3 is best treated as a long-term spare for legacy production.
Where can I download the EPF8452AGC160-3 datasheet PDF?

What is the best Xilinx equivalent for the EPF8452AGC160-3?
There is no Xilinx part that is pin-compatible with the EPF8452AGC160-3 in its 160-PQFP package. In terms of logic density (~4,000 gates, 336 LEs), the closest Xilinx contemporaries from the same era are XC3000/XC4000 family members such as XC3042A or XC4036XLT, but those use different packages and pinouts. A modern Xilinx equivalent is the Spartan-3 XC3S50 in a 100/144-pin TQFP, which requires PCB redesign.

Hướng dẫn chọn lựa

Choose the EPF8452AGC160-3 when you need a 5 V-tolerant, 4,000-gate FPGA in a hand-solderable 160-PQFP package for legacy industrial or telecom designs where Cyclone-class parts would force a PCB redesign. The "-3" speed grade is one of the fastest FLEX 8000 options, making this part preferable for timing-critical state machines. For new designs, choose a Cyclone III/IV/V FPGA (e.g., EP1C3, EP4CE6) instead: they offer higher density, lower power, JTAG-only configuration, and modern tool support. Among the drop-in same-package alternatives, the EPF8636AQC160-3 is the upgrade path for designs that exceed 336 LEs, and the EPF8820AQC160-3 is a moderate upgrade with 2x logic. Cross-brand replacements (Xilinx XC3042/XC4036) are NOT pin-compatible and require PCB redesign.

Ghi chú thiết kế

Estimated: the EPF8452AGC160-3 typically draws 100 mA to 350 mA at 5 V depending on logic utilization and toggle rate. Decouple each VCC/GND pair with 0.1 uF X7R ceramic placed within 5 mm of the package pins. Add a bulk 22 uF tantalum or 47 uF aluminum electrolytic capacitor near the package for low-frequency decoupling. The I/O banks share the 5 V supply with the core; no separate VCCIO rail is required. Configure unused I/O pins as outputs driving low or as inputs with internal weak pull-ups enabled to minimize in-rush current during configuration.

Configure the EPF8452AGC160-3 using an EPC1, EPC2, or EPC1064 configuration PROM in passive-serial mode, or via JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) using the ByteBlaster or BitBlaster cable. The configuration bitstream is approximately 95 Kbits. Tie nCONFIG high with a 10 kohm pull-up and CONF_DONE high with a 10 kohm pull-up to ensure proper initialization. If using JTAG only, leave MSEL pins in the correct state per the FLEX 8000 datasheet to disable other configuration modes. Always release DEV_OE before driving user I/O to avoid contention.

The 160-pin PQFP has 0.65 mm pitch leads and 28x28 mm body; use a 4-layer PCB with continuous ground plane beneath the device for thermal dissipation and signal-integrity. Route clock traces first on the top layer with 50 ohm controlled impedance and length matching; gate skews within 250 mil across all four global clock inputs. Place decoupling capacitors on the same layer as the FPGA, with vias to the ground plane placed within 1 mm of the capacitor pad. Provide a solid copper pour over the entire package top to act as a heat spreader for designs that exceed 70% LE utilization.

The FLEX 8000 I/O pins use 5 V LVTTL signaling with slew-rate control. Source-terminate high-speed outputs (transition rates above 33 MHz) with a 33 ohm series resistor placed within 5 mm of the FPGA pin to dampen reflections. For PCI-compliant operation, hold VCC at 5 V +/-5% and observe the 33 ohm AC series-impedance requirement on the PCI bus pins. Keep JTAG chain stub lengths under 25 mm and add a 10 kohm pull-up on TCK and TMS to prevent spurious JTAG state transitions in noisy environments.

Do not attempt to JTAG-program a fresh EPF8452AGC160-3 without first verifying the configuration mode pins - the device will silently enter passive-serial mode and ignore JTAG if MSEL is wrong. Do not assume LVCMOS 3.3 V signaling works directly - the EPF8452 outputs are 5 V TTL and will overdrive 3.3 V receivers unless a current-limiting resistor or level shifter is used. Do not hot-swap the configuration PROM while the FPGA is powered; always power-down before changing configuration hardware.
