The EPF8636ALC84-4N from Altera is a sophisticated, programmable logic device (PLD) designed to deliver a blend of high-density, cost-effectiveness and extensive capabilities. This feature-rich PLD family offers between 2,500 and 16,000 usable gates and from 282 to 1,500 registers. It's tailored to meet a variety of digital logic needs, from simple gates to complex system-level integration.
One of its most remarkable system-level features includes in-circuit reconfigurability (ICR), allowing for dynamic modifications to be accomplished with the aid of external configuration devices or an intelligent controller. It is fully compliant with the PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.2, for 5.0-V operation. The feature-rich PLD also includes dedicated carry and cascade chains that ensure quick and efficient implementation of arithmetic functions, such as fast adders, counters, and high-speed, high-fan-in logic functions. Furthermore, the MultiVolt™ I/O interface allows the core of the device to run at 5.0 V, while the I/O pins are compatible with both 5.0-V and 3.3-V logic levels, enhancing its versatility.
