EP1K100FC256-2

The EP1K100FC256-2 is an ACEX‑1K family programmable logic device (FPGA) from Intel, designed for system-on-a-programmable-chip integration. It combines a logic array with embedded array blocks (EABs) to support megafunctions, on-chip RAM, and general logic functions for communications, embedded control, and low‑cost high‑volume applications.

With 4,992 logic elements, 49,152 bits of embedded RAM and a 256‑ball FineLine BGA package, this commercial‑grade device targets designs that require moderate logic density, flexible I/O, and in‑circuit reconfigurability within a 0 °C to 70 °C operating range.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 4,992 logic elements and 257,000 maximum system gates provide substantial programmable logic for mid‑range FPGA designs.
• Embedded Memory (EABs) — Up to 49,152 bits of on‑chip RAM (4,096 bits per embedded array block) with dual‑port capability and up to 16‑bit width per block for efficient megafunction and buffer implementation.
• I/O and Voltage Flexibility — 186 user I/O pins with MultiVolt capability to interface with different voltage domains; device operates with an internal supply in the 2.375 V to 2.625 V range.
• Package and Mounting — 256‑FBGA (17×17) FineLine BGA, surface‑mount package suitable for compact board designs.
• Configuration and Test — In‑circuit reconfigurability options and built‑in JTAG boundary‑scan (IEEE 1149.1) for programming and board‑level test without consuming device logic.
• Clock and Interconnect — Dedicated carry and cascade chains, built‑in low‑skew clock distribution, and options for reduced clock delay and skew to support high‑performance synchronous logic.
• Power and Reliability — Low power consumption characteristics and 100% functional testing at the device level; RoHS compliant.
• Commercial Temperature Range — Rated for operation from 0 °C to 70 °C for commercial applications.

Typical Applications

• Communications Equipment — Implement protocol logic, packet buffering, and custom data‑path functions using on‑chip RAM and dual‑port EABs.
• Embedded Control — Integrate control logic, interfaces, and timing functions for appliances, instrumentation, and consumer electronics.
• Prototyping and Development — Deploy as a reconfigurable platform for hardware validation, algorithm partitioning, and early system bring‑up.
• Peripheral and Interface Bridging — Use abundant I/O and voltage flexibility to bridge between different logic families and peripheral devices.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory — 4,992 logic elements paired with 49,152 bits of embedded RAM lets designers implement both control and sizable on‑chip data storage without external memory.
• Flexible I/O Voltage Support — MultiVolt I/O capability enables direct interfacing to 2.5 V, 3.3 V, or 5.0 V domains, simplifying mixed‑voltage board designs.
• Compact, High‑Density Package — 256‑FBGA (17×17) package delivers a high pin count and compact footprint for space‑constrained boards.
• On‑board Reconfigurability and Test — In‑circuit reconfigurability plus JTAG boundary‑scan allow field updates and board‑level testing without consuming programmable logic.
• Deterministic Clocking and Arithmetic Support — Dedicated carry and cascade resources and low‑skew clock trees help implement high‑speed arithmetic and wide combinational functions efficiently.
• Compliance and Manufacturing Readiness — Commercial grade, surface‑mount BGA package and RoHS compliance support standard manufacturing flows.
