EPF8636AQC160-4

The Intel EPF8636AQC160-4 is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) belonging to the FLEX 8000A series. This device integrates 6000 logic gates and provides 118 input/output lines, making it suitable for various digital signal processing, bus interface, and controller applications.

The FPGA architecture utilizes Logic Element (LE) implementation with 4-input look-up tables (LUTs) and programmable registers. It operates within a voltage range of 4.75V to 5.25V and has an operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C (TA). The device is housed in a 160-PQFP (28x28) package, designed for surface mounting.

Configuration of the FLEX 8000 devices is achieved using CMOS SRAM elements, typically loaded at system power-up from an industry-standard parallel EPROM, Altera serial configuration devices, or a system controller. This flexibility allows for dynamic configuration and adaptation in various system designs.

Key specifications include 6000 gates, 118 I/O lines, and a 160-pin package. The FLEX 8000 family combines the fine-grained architecture of FPGAs with the high speed and predictable interconnect delays of EPLDs, offering a balance of performance and flexibility for embedded systems.
