EPF8452AQC160-5 Tóm tắt

The Altera (now Intel) EPF8452AQC160-5 is a member of the FLEX 8000 family of CMOS SRAM-based Field Programmable Gate Arrays, delivering 452 flip-flops and 336 logic elements in a 160-lead PQFP (Plastic Quad Flat Pack) package with 120 I/O pins. Speed grade -5 denotes the slowest commercial speed bin in the family, optimized for cost-sensitive designs that do not require the highest toggle rates. The part operates from a 5 V core supply and supports MultiVolt I/O configurable for either 3.3 V or 5.0 V operation.

An FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) is a semiconductor device built around an array of configurable logic blocks (CLBs), programmable interconnect, and I/O cells, allowing designers to implement custom digital logic without fabricating a custom ASIC. FPGAs sit in the broader taxonomy of programmable logic devices (PLDs), alongside CPLDs and SPLDs, and are widely used for glue logic, prototyping, low-volume production, and acceleration tasks. The FLEX 8000 family was Altera's first FPGA architecture with a continuous interconnect structure, designed for medium-density logic integration.

Key features of the EPF8452AQC160-5 include 452 user flip-flops distributed across 336 logic elements, 120 user I/O pins, in-system programmability via an industry-standard 4-pin JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) interface, and MultiVolt I/O supporting mixed-voltage systems. The device uses SRAM configuration cells, which require an external configuration memory or microcontroller for power-up loading. Each logic element combines a 4-input look-up table with a programmable register, and fast row/column interconnect provides predictable timing closure for designs up to about 5,000 gates.

Architecturally, the EPF8452AQC160-5 is fabricated on a 0.5 µm CMOS process and offers tri-state buffers, internal 3-state busses, and six dedicated clock inputs with global and local clock distribution networks. The MultiVolt I/O feature allows output pins to drive either 3.3 V or 5.0 V loads from a 5 V VCCINT supply, simplifying mixed-voltage board designs. JTAG support enables boundary-scan testing per IEEE 1149.1, easing board-level testability for high-density designs.

Typical applications include telecommunications line cards, industrial control logic, glue logic between microprocessors and peripherals, prototyping of ASIC designs before tape-out, and replacement of multiple discrete TTL/MSI devices with a single programmable part. Designers migrating from PAL/GAL-based designs find the FLEX 8000 family a substantial step up in density while preserving familiar Quartus-era development flows.

When designing with this part, note that configuration memory is volatile - the bitstream must be reloaded at every power-up from an external EPC serial configuration device or a microcontroller. The -5 speed grade offers the lowest cost in the family but at the expense of Fmax; if timing closure is tight, consider upgrading to a -3 or -4 grade in the same package footprint.

Ứng dụng tiêu biểu

EPF8452AQC160-5 phù hợp cho 6 Áp dụngs: Telecommunications Line Cards, Industrial Control Logic, ASIC Prototyping and Emulation, Legacy Replacement for Multiple TTL/MSI Devices, Test and Measurement Instrumentation Front-Ends, Avionics and Military Legacy Interfaces.

🌐

Telecommunications Line Cards

The EPF8452AQC160-5 fits telecommunications line-card glue logic thanks to its 336 logic elements and 120 user I/Os in the 160-pin PQFP package. The MultiVolt I/O feature lets output pins drive either 3.3 V or 5.0 V backplane buses directly from a single 5 V core supply, simplifying mixed-voltage line-card designs. With 452 flip-flops distributed across the logic array, the device comfortably implements state-machine-rich protocols such as HDLC framing, UTOPIA-style backplane interfaces, and custom channel-associated signalling. Engineers place the FPGA between a network processor and PHY devices, where the -5 speed grade is sufficient for line-rate glue at sub-100 MHz operation and the PQFP footprint enables rework-friendly assembly on legacy production lines. The dedicated JTAG port supports boundary-scan tests on dense multi-layer line-card PCBs.

🏭

Industrial Control Logic

In industrial control systems, the EPF8452AQC160-5 serves as a flexible glue-logic and protocol-bridge device, replacing dozens of 74-series TTL/MSI packages with a single programmable part. The 120 user I/Os comfortably handle parallel I/O expansion for PLC backplanes, sensor arrays, and motor-driver interfaces, while the 336 LEs and 452 FFs implement PWM timing, encoder decoding, and deterministic state machines. The 5 V core and MultiVolt I/O permit direct interface to legacy 5 V industrial peripherals alongside modern 3.3 V microcontrollers. The -5 speed grade is adequate for typical control-loop frequencies up to a few tens of MHz, and the commercial temperature grade suits indoor cabinet environments. JTAG boundary-scan aids in factory test of high-density industrial controller PCBs.

🖥️

ASIC Prototyping and Emulation

The EPF8452AQC160-5 is well suited as an ASIC prototyping platform for designs of up to roughly 5,000 gates, allowing engineers to validate RTL behaviour in real silicon before committing to mask costs. The 336 LEs and 452 flip-flops comfortably host moderate-complexity cores such as custom peripherals, bus arbiters, and signal-processing datapaths. In-system programmability via JTAG shortens the iteration cycle, and the MultiVolt I/O simplifies prototyping across both 3.3 V and 5.0 V ASIC pad libraries. The -5 speed grade provides conservative timing margins that mirror pre-layout ASIC estimates, while faster -3 or -4 grades in the same footprint allow exploration of timing closure. Re-using one PQFP160 footprint across prototype and production speeds simplifies board spin.

🔧

Legacy Replacement for Multiple TTL/MSI Devices

The EPF8452AQC160-5 excels at board-level consolidation of discrete 74LS/74HC logic, replacing dozens of small- and medium-scale integration packages with one programmable device. The 336 LEs map directly onto hundreds of equivalent gates, while the 120 user I/Os absorb all glue-logic pins without external bus expansion. Designers use this part to reduce BOM complexity, lower assembly cost, and shrink board area on legacy equipment that must remain serviceable for decades. The 5 V core and MultiVolt I/O mean the FPGA can drop into boards originally designed for TTL signalling, preserving the surrounding analog and power sections. Configuration memory can be one-time-programmed via parallel mode for non-field-upgradable designs.

🔬

Test and Measurement Instrumentation Front-Ends

In test and measurement equipment, the EPF8452AQC160-5 implements timing generators, custom waveform synthesizers, and protocol-aware trigger logic. The 452 flip-flops support long counter chains for frequency measurement, while the 336 LEs implement state-machine-driven sequencing. The 120 user I/Os are ample for parallel display drivers, button/keyboard interfaces, and front-panel multiplexed buses typical of benchtop instruments. The -5 grade's lower toggle rate is acceptable in human-scale timing applications where edge placement needs are modest, while the same PQFP160 footprint allows a design to migrate to the -3 grade if sub-100 ns resolution is later required. JTAG boundary-scan accelerates factory self-test on densely populated motherboards.

✈️

Avionics and Military Legacy Interfaces

The EPF8452AQC160-5 in its industrial-temperature variant is used in long-lifecycle avionics and military platforms where the FLEX 8000 architecture has accumulated decades of qualification history. Its 336 LEs and 120 user I/Os support MIL-STD-1553 bus bridges, ARINC 429 receivers, and custom discrete-to-digital conversion paths. The MultiVolt I/O lets the part bridge between 5 V avionics buses and 3.3 V modern processors, replacing multiple bus-driver ICs. Designers leverage the JTAG boundary-scan for depot-level board testing on deployed equipment where field-replaceable units must be verified rapidly. The PQFP160 footprint is well established in through-hole-to-surface-mount retrofit designs for older airframes.

What is the EPF8452AQC160-5?
The EPF8452AQC160-5 is an Altera FLEX 8000 family SRAM-based FPGA with 336 logic elements and 452 flip-flops housed in a 160-pin PQFP package. According to the FLEX 8000 datasheet, the -5 speed grade denotes the slowest commercial timing bin, optimized for cost-sensitive designs rather than maximum toggle rate.
How many logic elements and user I/O does EPF8452AQC160-5 have?
The EPF8452AQC160-5 contains 336 logic elements, 452 flip-flops, and 120 user I/O pins. Total package pins are 160, with the remaining 40 allocated to power, ground, JTAG, and configuration signals per the FLEX 8000 datasheet.
What is the difference between EPF8452AQC160-5 and EPF8452AQC160-4?
The EPF8452AQC160-4 is the next-faster speed grade in the same FLEX 8000 family, offering roughly 15-25 percent higher Fmax on internal logic and I/O paths compared to the -5 grade. Both share the identical 160-pin PQFP footprint, 336 LEs, 452 FFs, and 120 user I/Os, making them drop-in compatible when timing closure requires a faster grade.
What is the difference between EPF8452AQC160-5 and EPF8452AQC160-3?
The EPF8452AQC160-3 is the fastest commercial speed grade in the FLEX 8000 family for the same 160-pin PQFP package. It delivers the highest Fmax on internal registers and I/O paths, while the -5 grade offers the lowest cost. Both are pin-to-pin compatible in the same PQFP160 footprint.
Where can I download the EPF8452AQC160-5 datasheet PDF?
The original FLEX 8000 family datasheet is hosted at https://www.altera.com/literature/ds/dsflex8k.pdf and covers all FLEX 8000 devices including the EPF8452A. Intel (which acquired Altera in 2015) maintains legacy documentation in the Altera archive; distributor sites such as DigiKey and FPGAkey also host cached copies for the EPF8452AQC160-5.
Is the EPF8452AQC160-5 obsolete or still in production?
Yes, the EPF8452AQC160-5 is obsolete - the FLEX 8000 family has been discontinued by Altera/Intel and is no longer recommended for new designs. Existing inventory remains available through authorized distributors, brokers, and the secondary market, but lead times may be long and pricing volatile. For new designs, migrate to Cyclone IV/V or MAX 10 families.
What is the price of EPF8452AQC160-5?
As of 2026-09-12, the EPF8452AQC160-5 is available from authorized distributors and brokers at roughly $18.50 per unit at qty-1, dropping to about $9.85 at qty-1000 on obsolete-market pricing. Distributor listings should be confirmed directly with the supplier for current stock, lead time, and traceability documentation.
Can I use EPF8452AQC160-3AC as a drop-in replacement for EPF8452AQC160-5?
Yes - the EPF8452AQC160-3AC (and EPF8452AQC160-3) share the same 160-pin PQFP footprint, the same 336 LEs, the same 452 flip-flops, and the same 120 user I/O count as the EPF8452AQC160-5, differing only in the faster -3 speed grade and any applicable suffix indicator. The faster grade is a transparent upgrade for a -5 design, so it functions as a true drop-in replacement.
What configuration memory does EPF8452AQC160-5 require?
The EPF8452AQC160-5 uses SRAM configuration cells and therefore requires an external configuration source at every power-up. The most common companion is an Altera EPC serial configuration device such as the EPC1 or EPC2, loaded automatically via the dedicated serial configuration interface, or a microcontroller driving the parallel PS or passive serial mode.
Does EPF8452AQC160-5 support JTAG boundary scan?
Yes, the EPF8452AQC160-5 supports the IEEE 1149.1 JTAG standard with four dedicated JTAG pins (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO) for boundary-scan testing and in-system configuration. This enables board-level interconnect testing and post-assembly verification, which is especially valuable on dense multi-layer PCAs where traditional bed-of-nails test is impractical.
EPF8452AQC160-5 vs EPF8282ATC100-2 - which is better for a 160-pin PQFP design?
The EPF8452AQC160-5 and EPF8282ATC100-2 are not pin-compatible: the -5 part is in a 160-pin PQFP while the -2 is in a 100-pin TQFP, so PCB layout changes would be required. Within the 160-pin PQFP family, the EPF8452AQC160-3 is a faster drop-in upgrade for the -5 if your design is timing-constrained.
What is the best Microchip or Intel drop-in replacement for EPF8452AQC160-5?
There is no true cross-brand drop-in equivalent for the EPF8452AQC160-5 in the 160-pin PQFP footprint, because no other major FPGA vendor replicated Altera's FLEX 8000 architecture. The best alternatives are same-brand speed-grade variants of the same FLEX 8000 family - specifically EPF8452AQC160-4N, EPF8452AQC160-4, EPF8452AQC160-3AC, and EPF8452AQC160-3 - all in the identical 160-pin PQFP package.
When should I choose EPF8452AQC160-5 over a faster grade?
Choose the EPF8452AQC160-5 over the -3 or -4 speed grade when timing closure is comfortably met at the -5 grade and the design is cost-sensitive, especially in low-volume industrial or legacy telecom applications. The -5 grade typically offers the lowest unit price in the family and is fully pin-compatible with the faster grades, so you can always upgrade later if margins tighten.
Where to find the EPF8452AQC160-5 pinout diagram?
The complete 160-pin PQFP pinout for the EPF8452AQC160-5 is provided in the FLEX 8000 datasheet (https://www.altera.com/literature/ds/dsflex8k.pdf). The XAIPART product page for the EPF8452AQC160-5 also renders a labelled pinout diagram using the package_svg_key qfp-160 (160-pin QFP). Pin 1 is at the top-left corner with the dot marker on the PQFP package.
What are the key specifications of EPF8452AQC160-5 that engineers should know?
The EPF8452AQC160-5 is a 5 V core, 0.5 µm CMOS SRAM FPGA with 336 logic elements, 452 flip-flops, 120 user I/O pins, and 160 package pins in PQFP. It supports MultiVolt I/O at 3.3 V or 5.0 V, JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) boundary scan, and serial or parallel configuration via external EPC memory; speed grade -5 is the slowest and lowest-cost commercial bin. The FLEX 8000 family is now obsolete, so engineers should plan migration to Cyclone IV/V for new designs.

Hướng dẫn chọn lựa

Choose the EPF8452AQC160-5 when you need the lowest-cost FLEX 8000 FPGA in a 160-pin PQFP and your timing requirements are met at the slowest commercial speed grade. Migrate to the EPF8452AQC160-4 (or -4N for lead-free) if you find the -5 grade falls short of your Fmax budget - the change is purely a bin swap with no PCB impact. Move to the EPF8452AQC160-3 (or -3AC) for the fastest commercial grade, or to the EPF8452AQC160-2 if your application requires the industrial −40 °C to +85 °C temperature range. For all new designs, evaluate migration to a current-generation Cyclone IV/V or MAX 10 part, as the FLEX 8000 family is obsolete.

Ghi chú thiết kế

Provide a clean 5 V supply on every VCCINT pin (4 pins per FLEX 8000 datasheet) with at least one 0.1 µF decoupling capacitor per VCCINT pin placed within 3 mm of the package. VCCIO must be tied to either 3.3 V or 5.0 V via the MultiVolt configuration before I/O operation; mixing VCCIO between banks is not permitted on the 160-pin PQFP. Add a bulk 47 µF tantalum or 100 µF aluminum polymer capacitor near the device for transient handling during configuration bit-stream loads.

The 160-pin PQFP has 0.65 mm pitch leads with a 31 mm × 31 mm body footprint. Route all signals on inner layers and use a solid ground plane on layer 2 directly beneath the device for return-path continuity. Maintain at least 8 mil trace width with 8 mil clearance on outer layers, and use microvia-in-pad if manufacturing budget allows to escape the fine-pitch perimeter pads. A 4-layer stack-up (signal/ground/power/signal) is strongly recommended for the 120 user I/Os.

Do not leave nCONFIG floating - it must be tied to VCC through a 10 kΩ pull-up so the device reliably enters configuration mode at power-up. nSTATUS and CONF_DONE are open-drain outputs and require external pull-ups to VCC (typically 10 kΩ). The DCLK pin must remain stable during configuration to avoid partial bit-stream corruption, and the JTAG chain should include buffer devices if mixed-voltage devices are placed on the same TCK line.

Estimated: at maximum toggling rate the EPF8452AQC160-5 may dissipate around 0.5-1.0 W with a typical 5 V VCCINT. The PQFP-160 package's θJA of approximately 40-50 °C/W (estimated, depends on PCB copper area) yields a junction temperature rise of 20-50 °C above ambient - normally well within the commercial 0-70 °C operating range. For industrial-temperature (-2) variants verify derating against the −40 °C to +85 °C window.
