EP1K100QC208-2

The EP1K100QC208-2 is an ACEX-1K field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Intel designed for commercial, system-level programmable logic integration. Built on the ACEX 1K architecture, the device combines a logic array with embedded array blocks to deliver up to 4,992 logic elements and approximately 49,152 bits of on-chip RAM for implementing memory-intensive megafunctions and general logic.

This surface-mount 208-BFQFP device (208‑PQFP, 28×28) targets high-density, cost‑efficient SOPC (system-on-a-programmable-chip) integration and communications-focused designs, offering MultiVolt I/O flexibility and in-circuit reconfigurability for adaptable, space-conscious commercial applications.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — Contains 4,992 logic elements (LEs) and a maximum user gate count of 257,000 for mid-density programmable logic implementations.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 49,152 bits of total RAM (EAB-based), with dual-port capability and up to 16-bit width per embedded array block for efficient on-chip storage and megafunction support.
• I/O and Voltage Support — 147 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O capability; individual pins can drive or be driven by 2.5 V, 3.3 V, or 5.0 V signaling. Device operates with an internal supply near 2.5 V and a specified supply range of 2.375 V to 2.625 V.
• Package & Mounting — Surface-mount 208-BFQFP (208‑PQFP, 28×28) package suitable for space-limited board designs.
• System Features — In-circuit reconfigurability (ICR) via external configuration, intelligent controllers, or JTAG; built-in JTAG boundary-scan test (BST) compliant with IEEE 1149.1.
• Clocking and Performance Options — Built-in low-skew clock distribution trees with ClockLock™ and ClockBoost™ options to help manage clock delay and skew for timing-sensitive logic.
• Interconnect & Arithmetic Support — FastTrack® continuous routing, dedicated carry and cascade chains for efficient arithmetic and high-fan-in logic implementations.
• Commercial Temperature Grade & Compliance — Commercial operating range of 0 °C to 70 °C; RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Communications Equipment — Implement protocol controllers, packet buffering, or interface logic where medium-density logic and on-chip RAM are required.
• System Integration / SOPC — Integrate custom logic, peripherals, and embedded memory into compact system-on-a-programmable-chip designs for commercial electronics.
• Reconfigurable Control — Use in designs that require in-field or in-system reprogramming for feature updates or role changes via JTAG or external configuration devices.
• Interface and Bridge Logic — MultiVolt I/O makes the device suitable for bridging between 2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 5.0 V domains on mixed-voltage boards.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated memory and logic: 4,992 logic elements combined with ~49 kbits of embedded RAM reduces external memory needs and simplifies board-level designs.
• Flexible I/O voltage support: MultiVolt I/O simplifies mixed-voltage interfacing and reduces the need for level‑shifting components.
• In-circuit reconfigurability: Supports JTAG and external configuration for iterative development and field updates without extra device logic consumption.
• Deterministic clocking: Low-skew clock trees plus ClockLock and ClockBoost options help meet timing requirements in synchronous systems.
• Testability and production readiness: Built-in JTAG boundary-scan and 100% functional testing practices support production test and board-level debug.
