EP1K100FC484-1N

The EP1K100FC484-1N is an ACEX-1K family field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Intel designed for cost-efficient system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) integration. It combines a high-density logic array with embedded memory and flexible I/O to address communications, embedded control, and general-purpose digital processing applications.

This device provides 4,992 logic elements, up to 49,152 bits of on-chip RAM, and 333 user I/O pins in a 484-ball BGA package. It is optimized for compact, surface-mount designs operating from a 2.375 V to 2.625 V supply and within a commercial temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C.

Key Features

• Core Logic  Approximately 4,992 logic elements (LEs) enabling medium-density combinational and sequential logic implementations with a maximum system gate count of 257,000.
• Embedded Memory  Up to 49,152 bits of RAM delivered via embedded array blocks (EABs), including dual-port capability and up to 16-bit width per EAB for efficient on-chip data storage.
• I/O and Voltage Support  333 user I/O pins with MultiVolt™ support allowing interfacing with 2.5 V, 3.3 V, or 5.0 V devices; programmable output slew-rate control, open-drain option, and per-pin clamp-to-VCCIO selection.
• Package & Mounting  484-BBGA package (supplier device package: 484-FBGA 23×23) for compact surface-mount PCB implementations.
• Clocking and Timing  Low-skew clock distribution with options such as ClockLock™ and ClockBoost™ for reduced clock delay and skew; support for up to six global clock signals and four global clear signals.
• Dedicated Arithmetic & Logic Chains  Built-in carry chain and cascade chain for efficient implementation of adders, counters, comparators, and high-fan-in logic functions.
• Configuration & Test  In-circuit reconfigurability (ICR) via external configuration devices, intelligent controller, or JTAG port; built-in JTAG boundary-scan test (IEEE Std. 1149.1) available without consuming device logic.
• Design & Integration  FastTrack® continuous routing interconnect for predictable delays, tri-state emulation for internal buses, and features that support SOPC integration for megafunctions and memory-intensive designs.
• Compliance & Environmental  Commercial-grade device with RoHS compliance and tested for 100% functional test coverage.

Typical Applications

• Communications Equipment  Implement protocol processing, data buffering, and interface logic using the device's embedded RAM and high I/O count for medium-density communications designs.
• SOPC and Embedded Systems  Integrate custom logic and megafunctions with on-chip memory to consolidate multiple system functions into a single programmable device.
• Peripheral and Bus Interfaces  Use the MultiVolt I/O and PCI Local Bus compliance features to bridge and implement 3.3 V and 5.0 V peripheral interfaces.
• Control and Signal Processing  Leverage dedicated carry and cascade chains for arithmetic-heavy tasks such as counters, comparators, and custom datapaths.

Unique Advantages

• High integration in a compact package: 4,992 logic elements, 49,152 bits of RAM, and 333 I/O pins in a 484-BBGA package reduce PCB area and BOM count.
• Flexible I/O voltage support: MultiVolt I/O capability enables direct interfacing with 2.5 V, 3.3 V, or 5.0 V devices, simplifying mixed-voltage system design.
• On-board memory and dual-port EABs: Embedded array blocks with dual-port capability provide efficient local buffering and memory-mapped functions without reducing logic capacity.
• Predictable timing and clock options: Low-skew clock trees plus ClockLock™/ClockBoost™ options help manage clock distribution and reduce skew in synchronous designs.
• Built-in test and reconfiguration: JTAG boundary-scan and in-circuit reconfigurability simplify board-level testing and enable field updates without consuming core logic.
• Proven interconnect structures: FastTrack® routing and dedicated arithmetic chains improve routing predictability and performance for common logic patterns.
