AT40K10AL-1CQC

The AT40K10AL-1CQC is an SRAM-based FPGA from the AT40KAL family designed for mid-range gate-count applications. It combines reprogrammable logic with on-chip distributed RAM and a broad I/O set to support DSP, multimedia, and coprocessor roles in commercial embedded systems.

This device provides a balance of performance and integration with approximately 20,000 gates, 576 logic elements, 4,608 bits of embedded RAM and 130 I/O pins in a 160-pin BQFP surface-mount package. It operates from a 3.0 V to 3.6 V supply and is rated for commercial temperature use (0 °C to 70 °C).

Key Features

• Core Density — 576 logic elements and approximately 20,000 gates provide mid-range capacity for combinational and sequential logic implementations.
• On-chip Memory (FreeRAM) — Approximately 4,608 bits of distributed SRAM with 10 ns timings and flexible single/dual-port synchronous/asynchronous operation for FIFOs, scratch pads and small buffers.
• High-speed Arithmetic — Series-level support for ultra-fast array multipliers and DSP-friendly resources (array multipliers documented above 50 MHz; system speeds to 100 MHz).
• I/O and Interface — 130 I/O pins in this device; the AT40KAL series provides PCI-compliant I/O options and programmable output drive for flexible board-level interfacing.
• Clocking — Series-level architecture includes multiple global clocks and low-skew distribution for synchronous designs (8 global clocks documented for the family).
• Reconfiguration — Cache Logic dynamic partial/full reconfiguration capability in the AT40KAL family enables in-system re-programmability via serial or parallel modes.
• Package & Mounting — 160-pin BQFP (supplier package 160-PQFP, 28 × 28 mm) in a surface-mount form factor suitable for compact PCB designs.
• Power & Environmental — Voltage supply 3.0 V to 3.6 V (series supports 3.3 V designs); RoHS compliant and specified for commercial temperature range (0 °C to 70 °C).

Typical Applications

• Digital Signal Processing (DSP) — Implement FIR filters, FFTs, convolvers and interpolators using the device’s array multipliers and on-chip RAM for coefficient storage.
• Multimedia & Video Processing — Support video compression/decompression and DCT operations where fast arithmetic and reconfigurable logic accelerate performance.
• Security & Encryption Accelerators — Offload compute-intensive encryption or hashing operations to dedicated logic blocks and on-chip memory.
• Coprocessor Functions — Integrate as a hardware coprocessor for processors or DSPs to handle computation-heavy tasks and improve system throughput.

Unique Advantages

• Flexible On-chip Memory: Distributed FreeRAM provides low-latency, 10 ns SRAM blocks that can be instantiated in single- or dual-port configurations without consuming logic resources.
• Dynamic Reconfiguration: Cache Logic-enabled partial/full in-system reprogrammability allows adaptive designs and runtime updates without full device replacement.
• Balanced Performance & Density: Approximately 20,000 gates and 576 logic elements strike a balance between capacity and board-level cost for mid-range applications.
• Robust Clocking: Family-level global clock resources and low-skew distribution simplify timing of complex synchronous designs.
• Commercial-grade Compatibility: Surface-mount 160-BQFP package and 3.0–3.6 V supply make the device suitable for a wide range of commercial embedded products.
