EPF8820ATC144-6 Tóm tắt

The Altera EPF8820ATC144-6 is a member of the FLEX 8000 programmable logic device family, delivering approximately 8,000 usable gates, 672 logic cells, and 112 user I/Os in a 144-pin TQFP (LFQFP) package. Operating from a 5V supply at a 125MHz internal frequency, this CMOS SRAM-based FPGA provides low-cost, high-density register-rich programmable logic with in-circuit reconfigurability.

A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a semiconductor IC built around an array of configurable logic blocks (CLBs), programmable routing channels, and programmable I/O cells. FPGAs sit at the top of the digital logic hierarchy: programmable logic device (PLD) -> complex PLD (CPLD) -> FPGA -> SoC FPGA. The FLEX 8000 family targets glue-logic, bus-interface, and state-machine consolidation roles where discrete 74-series logic or a CPLD would otherwise consume excessive board area.

Key features include 84 Logic Array Blocks (LABs) with 8 logic elements per LAB, 4 dedicated input pins, MultiVolt I/O supporting 3.3V or 5.0V interface (144-pin packages), and configuration via industry-standard parallel EPROM or Altera serial configuration devices (EPC1, EPC1213, EPC1064, EPC1441). The -6 speed grade specifies a worst-case propagation delay of approximately 1.9ns.

The FLEX 8000 architecture uses continuous SRAM configuration memory, allowing in-system reconfiguration (ICR) via a controller or configuration device. Each LAB contains an expansion product-term array and a carry chain for arithmetic functions; interconnect uses FastTrack routing with row and column channels. Die size and process technology make this device the lowest-density FLEX 8000 variant, suitable for designs that exceed CPLD capacity but do not require modern high-logic-count FPGAs.

Typical applications include bus-interface bridging (PCI, ISA, VME), glue-logic consolidation in industrial controllers, state-machine replacement, address decoding and interrupt handling in embedded systems, and legacy 5V peripheral interfacing where MultiVolt I/O removes the need for level shifters. Production-intent designs targeting this part typically migrate to newer Cyclone or MAX families today.

Design considerations include dedicated VCCINT and VCCIO rail separation for 3.3V/5.0V I/O, mandatory configuration device selection (EPC1, EPC2, EPC1441), and JTAG support via nCONFIG, nSTATUS, and CONF_DONE pins. The -6 speed grade represents one of the slower grades in the family; faster -3 or -2 grades are usable when timing margins are tight.

Ứng dụng tiêu biểu

EPF8820ATC144-6 phù hợp cho 6 Áp dụngs: PCI / ISA Bus Interface Bridging, Industrial Glue-Logic Consolidation, Address Decoding and Interrupt Handling, Legacy 5V Peripheral Interfacing, State-Machine Replacement in Embedded Controllers, VME Bus Interface in Legacy Industrial Systems.

🌐

PCI / ISA Bus Interface Bridging

The EPF8820ATC144-6's 112 user I/Os and 5V-tolerant MultiVolt interface make it well suited for PCI and ISA bus bridging in legacy industrial PCs. Its 672 logic cells accommodate full 32-bit address/data multiplexing, command decoding, and wait-state generation without external TTL glue. The 144-pin LFQFP exposes enough I/O for both the primary and secondary bus sides plus configuration pins. The -6 speed grade is acceptable for 33MHz PCI and full-speed ISA, where 1.9ns propagation delay leaves adequate timing margin over a 30ns bus cycle. For new designs, migrate to a Cyclone series FPGA with PCI Express hard IP.

🏭

Industrial Glue-Logic Consolidation

The EPF8820ATC144-6 consolidates dozens of 74-series logic packages into a single 144-pin LFQFP, saving substantial PCB area in industrial controllers and PLCs. Its 8,000 usable gates handle wide address decoding, interrupt controllers, watchdog timers, and parallel-to-serial converters in one device. The 5V VCCINT plus MultiVolt I/O (3.3V or 5.0V on 144-pin packages) lets it interface directly with 5V microcontrollers and legacy peripherals, eliminating level shifters. In-circuit reconfigurability enables field firmware updates via the JTAG or serial configuration interface. Choose the -4 grade when timing closure is critical; -6 is sufficient for most glue-logic paths under 50MHz.

🖥️

Address Decoding and Interrupt Handling

The EPF8820ATC144-6 is well suited for memory and peripheral address decoding plus interrupt prioritization in 16/32-bit embedded systems. Each LAB provides eight logic elements plus product-term expansion, ideal for wide decoder trees and priority encoders. With 84 LABs and 672 logic cells, a single device can replace several PAL/GAL devices and discrete priority logic. The 112 user I/Os accommodate full 32-bit address buses plus chip-select outputs, interrupt request inputs, and acknowledge outputs. SRAM-based configuration allows last-minute design changes without respinning the PCB. The -6 speed grade supports up to 125MHz internal frequency, sufficient for most embedded address cycles.

🔌

Legacy 5V Peripheral Interfacing

The EPF8820ATC144-6's MultiVolt I/O on the 144-pin LFQFP package supports direct 3.3V and 5.0V interfacing without external level shifters, simplifying designs that must bridge modern 3.3V ASICs to legacy 5V peripherals. Its 112 I/Os accept TTL/CMOS thresholds on a per-pin basis via VCCIO banks, allowing mixed-voltage signals on the same device. The 672-cell capacity handles UARTs, FIFOs, and parallel-port glue logic in a single chip. In-circuit reconfigurability (ICR) lets designers iterate on protocol logic without board changes. For new designs targeting 3.3V-only systems, migrate to a Cyclone III or later FPGA with similar density at lower power.

🧩

State-Machine Replacement in Embedded Controllers

The EPF8820ATC144-6's 672 logic cells and 8K usable gates are ideal for implementing complex state machines that would otherwise require multiple PAL/GAL devices. Each Logic Element includes a 4-input LUT, register, and carry chain, supporting Moore and Mealy state machines with up to hundreds of states. The 125MHz internal frequency allows state-machine operation well above typical microcontrollers, and the 144-pin LFQFP exposes enough I/O for 32-bit datapath glue plus dedicated inputs. JTAG-based configuration and in-system reconfigurability let engineers iterate on state-machine logic during development. The -6 speed grade is acceptable for state machines with sub-50MHz clock rates.

🏭

VME Bus Interface in Legacy Industrial Systems

The EPF8820ATC144-6 is well matched to VMEbus interface cards in legacy industrial and test-and-measurement equipment. Its 112 user I/Os comfortably handle the VME 32-bit address/data bus, arbitration lines, and interrupt request/acknowledge signals. MultiVolt I/O on the 144-pin package interfaces directly to 5V VME transceivers without external buffers. The 672-cell capacity accommodates full bus-master arbitration, address pipelining, and block-transfer handshaking in one device. SRAM configuration supports last-minute firmware updates in the field. For new VME64 designs, consider migrating to a larger FLEX 8000 device (EPF81188A or EPF81500A) with higher I/O count.

What is the EPF8820ATC144-6?
The EPF8820ATC144-6 is an Altera FLEX 8000 family FPGA with approximately 8,000 usable gates, 672 logic cells, 84 LABs, and 112 user I/Os, packaged in a 144-pin TQFP. It operates from a 5V supply at up to 125MHz internal frequency and carries the slowest commercial speed grade (-6) in the EPF8820A series. According to Altera FLEX 8000 datasheets, the device is configured at power-up via an external parallel EPROM or an Altera EPC-series serial configuration device.
How many logic cells does EPF8820ATC144-6 have?
The EPF8820ATC144-6 contains 672 logic cells organized into 84 Logic Array Blocks (LABs), with 8 logic elements per LAB. It is the lowest-density device in the FLEX 8000 family, sitting between smaller FLEX 8000 parts and higher-density EPF81188A / EPF81500A devices. This density targets designs that exceed typical CPLD capacity but do not require modern high-logic-count FPGAs.
What is the difference between speed grades -6 and -4 in EPF8820ATC144?
EPF8820ATC144-6 represents the slowest speed grade in the family, while -4 is faster (lower propagation delay) and -2 is fastest. The trailing number is Altera's speed-grade designator: -6 = slowest commercial timing, -4 = mid-speed, -2 = fastest. Drop-in PCB compatibility is preserved across speed grades - only timing parameters differ - so a -4 grade can directly replace a -6 if timing margins are acceptable.
Is EPF8820ATC144-6 still in production?
EPF8820ATC144-6 is listed as obsolete / last-time-buy across major distributors, as Altera FLEX 8000 family production has been discontinued in favor of Cyclone and MAX families. Inventory is now primarily channel stock from authorized distributors and the secondary market. According to DigiKey/Mouser listings for related EPF8820ATC144 variants, the part is no longer recommended for new designs (NRND-equivalent for FPGA).
What configuration device works with EPF8820ATC144-6?
EPF8820ATC144-6 supports configuration from Altera EPC1, EPC1213, EPC1064, and EPC1441 serial configuration devices, as well as industry-standard parallel EPROMs and a microprocessor-driven configuration mode. For new designs the EPC2 or EPC1441 is most commonly referenced; the older EPC1 is sufficient for this density. According to Altera FLEX 8000 datasheets, JTAG and passive serial modes are also available via the nCONFIG / nSTATUS / CONF_DONE pins.
Where to buy EPF8820ATC144-6 online?
EPF8820ATC144-6 is available on the secondary market from distributors including DigiKey, Mouser, Arrow, and Octopart-listed brokers as of 2026-09-12. Because the part is obsolete, pricing fluctuates with channel stock - expect higher unit cost (around $28 qty-1, dropping below $13 at 1,000-piece reels). For new designs, Altera recommends migrating to a Cyclone series FPGA with equivalent or higher logic capacity.
What is the price of EPF8820ATC144-6?
As of 2026-09-12, EPF8820ATC144-6 is listed at approximately $28.50 at qty 1, $24.95 at qty 10, $19.40 at qty 100, $15.85 at qty 500, and $12.30 at qty 1,000 from authorized channel distributors. Pricing for obsolete FPGAs varies significantly with remaining channel inventory; request quotes from at least three sources before committing to a production build. Brokers on Octopart may quote below these levels for first-come stock.
What is the lead time for EPF8820ATC144-6?
EPF8820ATC144-6 lead time is currently stock-dependent as of 2026-09-12 - the part is obsolete and Altera no longer manufactures new wafers. Authorized distributors carry limited channel stock with same-day shipment when inventory is available; brokers may offer 4-12 week lead times for larger orders. For new production runs, request a last-time-buy quote early because remaining inventory can be absorbed quickly.
Is EPF8820ATC144-6 in stock at major distributors?
EPF8820ATC144-6 stock is limited at major authorized distributors as of 2026-09-12 because the FLEX 8000 family has been discontinued. Related EPF8820ATC144 speed grades (-4, -3, -2) and the EPF8820ATC100-2 variants are also visible across DigiKey, Mouser, and Octopart listings. Check both authorized channel distributors and brokers; use the part on a last-time-buy or migration-to-Cyclone plan.
What is the difference between EPF8820ATC144-6 and EPF8820ATC100-2?
EPF8820ATC144-6 is the 144-pin TQFP LFQFP variant in the slowest -6 commercial speed grade, while EPF8820ATC100-2 uses the smaller 100-pin TQFP package with a faster -2 grade. Both belong to the FLEX 8000 family and have the same 672 logic cells / 84 LABs, but the 100-pin package exposes fewer user I/Os and faster timing. They are NOT pin-compatible - the EPF8820ATC144-6 cannot be replaced by the 100-pin variant without PCB rework.
EPF8820ATC144-6 vs EPF8452ATC100-4 - which is better for a 5V industrial controller?
EPF8820ATC144-6 offers higher logic capacity (~8,000 gates, 672 cells, 112 I/Os, 144-pin) but the slowest -6 speed grade, while EPF8452ATC100-4 is a lower-density FLEX 8000 device with ~4,000 gates, 100-pin TQFP, and a faster -4 grade. For a 5V industrial controller needing maximum I/O and density, the EPF8820ATC144-6 fits; for designs where timing margins are tight, the EPF8452ATC100-4's faster grade is preferable despite lower density. Both are obsolete.
What is the best drop-in replacement for EPF8820ATC144-6?
The best drop-in replacement for EPF8820ATC144-6 is the same-die, same-package variant EPF8820ATC144-4 (faster -4 speed grade, otherwise identical 144-pin TQFP, 672 cells, 8K gates). It is pin-compatible because all EPF8820ATC144-* variants share the identical 144-pin LFQFP pinout; only the speed-grade digit differs. For new designs, Altera recommends migrating to a Cyclone series FPGA rather than continuing to source this obsolete family.
When should I choose EPF8820ATC144-6 over a faster grade?
Choose EPF8820ATC144-6 (the slowest -6 speed grade) when timing closure is not critical and you specifically need the lowest-cost option within the EPF8820ATC144 family. Choose a faster grade like -4, -3, or -2 when state-machine Fmax or critical-path timing requires tighter propagation delay (~1.9ns at -6 vs faster for -2). All grades share the same 144-pin LFQFP footprint, so the choice is purely a speed-versus-cost decision.
Is EPF8820ATC144-6 suitable for new designs in 2026?
EPF8820ATC144-6 is generally NOT recommended for new designs in 2026 because the FLEX 8000 family is obsolete, with limited inventory and rising prices. For legacy 5V-system repairs, board refreshes, or exact-form-fit replacements, the EPF8820ATC144-6 is acceptable and functionally correct. For new production, Altera/Intel recommends migrating to a current-generation Cyclone or MAX series FPGA with equivalent or greater logic capacity and improved power efficiency.
Where to download EPF8820ATC144-6 datasheet PDF?
The EPF8820ATC144-6 datasheet is part of the Altera FLEX 8000 family data sheet, available from the Altera (now Intel) FLEX 8000 device datasheet on FPGAkey and Alldatasheet (EPF8820A family entry, URL in the data_sources below). The FLEX 8000 datasheet covers all speed grades (-2/-3/-4/-6) and all packages (100-pin, 144-pin, 160-pin, 192-pin, 208-pin, 225-pin, 240-pin). According to third-party listings, the same datasheet is mirrored at alterasemi.com under the EPF8820ATC144-4N PDF.
Where to find EPF8820ATC144-6 pinout?
EPF8820ATC144-6 pinout is documented in the Altera FLEX 8000 datasheet (FPGAkey and Alldatasheet host the family PDF). The 144-pin LFQFP (also written TQFP) pinout is shared across all EPF8820ATC144-* speed grades - pin 1 is at the top-left with the dot marker, numbering counter-clockwise. According to Altera FLEX 8000 documentation, the 144-pin package exposes 112 user I/Os and 4 dedicated inputs, with the remaining pins allocated to VCCINT, VCCIO, GND, JTAG (TCK/TMS/TDO/TDI), and configuration (nCONFIG/nSTATUS/CONF_DONE/MSEL).

Hướng dẫn chọn lựa

Choose EPF8820ATC144-6 when you need an FLEX 8000 FPGA with 8K gates / 672 cells / 112 I/Os in a 144-pin LFQFP package and timing margins are not critical - the -6 grade is the slowest (and typically lowest-cost) variant. Upgrade to EPF8820ATC144-4, -3, or -2 when timing closure requires faster propagation delay; the entire family shares the same pinout so PCB layout is preserved. For designs needing higher density or more I/Os, choose EPF81188ARC240-4 or EPF81500ARC240-4 (higher gate counts, larger packages); for simpler glue logic, EPF8452ATC100-4N (smaller package, fewer I/Os) is sufficient. All variants are obsolete as of 2026 - source via authorized channel distributors and brokers, or migrate to a current Cyclone series FPGA for new production.

Ghi chú thiết kế

Separate VCCINT (5V core) and VCCIO (3.3V or 5.0V I/O bank supplies) with adequate decoupling - place 0.1uF ceramic capacitors near every VCCINT and VCCIO pin, plus bulk 10-47uF tantalum or ceramic at each supply rail. The MultiVolt I/O feature on 144-pin packages lets you mix 3.3V and 5.0V signaling on different banks without level shifters - consult the FLEX 8000 datasheet for the exact bank assignments.

Configuration data is volatile - SRAM-based FLEX 8000 devices must be configured at every power-up. Always include an Altera EPC1, EPC2, EPC1213, EPC1064, or EPC1441 serial configuration device (or equivalent parallel EPROM/controller) on the board. Failure to provide a configuration source leaves the device in undefined state with all I/Os tri-stated. For JTAG-based configuration, ensure TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO are properly pulled and the JTAG chain is correctly ordered with any other JTAG devices on the board.

The 144-pin TQFP (LFQFP) requires careful PCB layout with 0.5mm pitch traces. Use 4-layer board with continuous ground plane beneath the device for signal integrity and power distribution. Place configuration device (EPC1441) within 50mm of the FPGA to keep DCLK/Data traces short. Route JTAG signals to a header with the correct pinout for Altera ByteBlaster or USB-Blaster download cables.

MultiVolt I/O banks can mix 3.3V and 5.0V signals on the same device, but each bank's VCCIO must be tied to a single voltage. Do not mix voltages within one bank or you risk input-clamping currents and long-term reliability issues. For high-speed outputs (>50MHz), use 5V-tolerant receivers rated for the slower edge rates typical of 5V CMOS. For inputs from 3.3V devices into 5V VCCIO banks, ensure the 3.3V logic-high VIH is above the 5V bank's threshold.

FLEX 8000 devices use 5V core supply which generates substantial heat compared to modern 1.2V FPGAs. At full toggle activity across all 112 I/Os, expect junction temperature to rise significantly. Provide adequate copper pour around the 144-pin TQFP - at least 1 square inch of 2oz copper on top and bottom layers connected via thermal vias. For sealed enclosures or stacked boards, verify theta_JA against the FLEX 8000 datasheet and derate ambient temperature accordingly.
