EP1K100QC208-3

The EP1K100QC208-3 is an ACEX-1K series field programmable gate array (FPGA) designed for commercial applications that require programmable logic and embedded memory in a single device. This device integrates approximately 4,992 logic elements, about 49,152 bits of embedded RAM, and up to 147 user I/O pins in a 208-BFQFP surface-mount package.

Targeted use cases include system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) integration and communications or control applications that benefit from dense logic, dual-port embedded arrays, and flexible I/O voltage support. The part combines medium-high logic density and on-chip memory with features that simplify board-level integration and configuration.

Key Features

• Core Logic  Approximately 4,992 logic elements and a typical device gate count of 100,000 (maximum system gates up to 257,000), enabling implementation of medium-density logic designs.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 49,152 total RAM bits delivered through embedded array blocks (EABs) that support dual-port operation and up to 16-bit widths per block for efficient on-chip data storage and megafunctions.
• I/O and Interface Flexibility  Up to 147 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O capability noted in the ACEX-1K family; I/O features include programmable output slew-rate control, open-drain option, and pin-by-pin clamp to VCCIO options.
• Power and Supply  Device designed to operate with an internal 2.5 V supply; specified supply range for this part is 2.375 V to 2.625 V.
• Package & Mounting  208-BFQFP (supplier device package: 208-PQFP, 28 × 28) in a surface-mount format for straightforward PCB assembly.
• Thermal and Grade  Commercial-grade device with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C.
• System & Configuration  ACEX-1K family features include in-circuit reconfigurability (ICR), built-in JTAG boundary-scan, and dedicated carry and cascade chains to support arithmetic and high-fan-in logic functions (family-level capability).
• Design Support  Family-level datasheet documents software design flows, megafunction support, and place-and-route tool compatibility (refer to the ACEX-1K documentation for details).
• Regulatory  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Communications Systems  Implements protocol glue logic, packet buffering and custom interfaces using embedded RAM and dedicated carry/cascade chains for high-speed logic functions.
• SOPC and Embedded Control  Consolidates processor peripherals, custom state machines, and bus interfaces into a single programmable device to reduce BOM and board area.
• Memory-intensive Logic  Uses the 49,152 bits of embedded RAM and dual-port EAB capability for FIFOs, lookup tables, and other on-chip data structures.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated logic and memory: Combines ~4,992 logic elements with ~49Kbits of embedded RAM to implement complex logic and data storage on-chip, reducing external component count.
• Flexible I/O signaling: MultiVolt family I/O capabilities and per-pin options allow easier interfacing with 2.5 V, 3.3 V, or 5.0 V systems at the board level.
• Board-friendly packaging: 208-BFQFP surface-mount package simplifies PCB layout and assembly for commercial products.
• Configurability and testability: In-circuit reconfigurability and built-in JTAG boundary-scan support streamline programming and board-level testing.
• Commercial temperature and supply suitability: Specified for 0 °C to 70 °C operation and a supply range of 2.375–2.625 V, matching typical commercial embedded designs.
