EPF8452ALC84-5

The Altera EPF8452ALC84-5 is a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from the FLEX 8000 family. This device family integrates the benefits of Erasable Programmable Logic Devices (EPLDs) and FPGAs, offering a fine-grained architecture with a high register count characteristic of FPGAs, combined with the high speed and predictable interconnect delays of EPLDs.

Logic is implemented using Logic Elements (LEs) that contain compact 4-input Look-Up Tables (LUTs) and programmable registers. High performance is achieved through a fast, continuous routing network. The FLEX 8000 devices provide ample storage elements suitable for applications like digital signal processing (DSP), wide-data-path manipulation, and data transformation. They are also well-suited for bus interfaces, TTL integration, coprocessor functions, and high-speed controllers.

The EPF8452ALC84-5 comes in a PLCC package. The FLEX 8000 architecture utilizes CMOS SRAM elements for configuration. These devices are configured at system power-up using data stored in an industry-standard parallel EPROM or Altera serial configuration devices, or provided by a system controller. Reconfiguration can be performed in-circuit in less than 100 ms, allowing for real-time changes during system operation.
