N82C08-20

Overview

The N82C08-20 is a Dynamic RAM (DRAM) memory controller manufactured by Altera. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and supports surface mount installation. The device is housed in a 68-LCC (J-Lead) or 68-PLCC package, suitable for applications requiring a compact footprint. It functions as a dedicated controller interface for DRAM modules, facilitating data management in electronic systems.

Feature Summary

• Serves as a dedicated controller for dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) operations
• Supports surface mount technology for automated assembly processes
• Operates with standard 5V logic supply voltage levels

Applications

• Dynamic RAM memory subsystem integration
• Electronic system board design requiring DRAM control
• Industrial equipment memory interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against official datasheets to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical specifications. Confirm the package variant matches the required PCB layout. Ensure the component meets the necessary operating temperature ranges for the intended application environment before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated hardware solution for DRAM control is required within a 5V logic family. Consider the 68-pin package constraints during PCB layout planning. Evaluate thermal performance requirements against the specified operating temperature range to ensure reliable operation under load.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Altera peripheral integrated circuit portfolio, specifically designed for memory management tasks. Altera, now part of Intel, produced this series to support embedded systems requiring robust DRAM interfacing capabilities without relying on complex programmable logic resources.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official replacement guides for compatible DRAM controllers from the same manufacturer family. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and electrical parameter alignment before substituting.
