EP1K10FC256-2

The EP1K10FC256-2 is a commercial-grade ACEX-1K family FPGA providing a compact, programmable logic solution for system integration and high-volume applications. Built around the ACEX 1K architecture, the device combines dedicated embedded memory, a logic array, and flexible I/O to support communications, SOPC-style integration, and general-purpose logic functions.

With 576 logic elements, 12,288 bits of embedded RAM and up to 136 user I/Os in a 256‑BGA package, this device targets designs that require moderate logic density, on-chip memory and multi‑voltage I/O capability in a surface-mount form factor.

Key Features

• Core Logic — 576 logic elements (LEs) delivering programmable logic capacity suitable for control, glue-logic, and medium-density FPGA functions.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 12,288 bits of on-chip RAM implemented via Embedded Array Blocks (EABs) with dual-port capability and support for up to 16-bit width per EAB.
• Logic Density & Gates — Device supports up to 56,000 system gates, aligning with ACEX-1K family characteristics for medium-density integration.
• I/O and MultiVolt Support — Up to 136 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O capability (family-level feature) to interface with 2.5‑V, 3.3‑V, or 5.0‑V devices; programmable slew-rate and per-pin output options are supported by the family architecture.
• Power and Supply — Operates with an internal 2.5‑V supply; specified external supply range 2.375 V to 2.625 V for core operation.
• Packaging & Mounting — Available in a 256‑BGA surface-mount package (supplier device package: 256‑FBGA 17×17) for compact board-level integration.
• Configuration & Test — In-circuit reconfigurability and built-in JTAG boundary-scan test (IEEE 1149.1) as part of the ACEX‑1K family feature set, enabling field updates and board-level testability without consuming user logic.
• Clock & Interconnect — Family-level features include low-skew clock distribution, dedicated carry and cascade chains for arithmetic and high‑fan-in functions, and a continuous routing structure for predictable interconnect delays.
• Compliance & Environmental — RoHS compliant; commercial-grade device with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C.

Typical Applications

• Communications Equipment — Implement protocol logic, data routing and interface bridging where moderate gate counts and embedded memory are needed.
• System-on-a-Programmable-Chip (SOPC) — Integrate specialized logic functions and on-chip memory to consolidate multiple functions into a single programmable device.
• Peripheral and Interface Control — Use for bus interfacing, glue logic, and peripheral controllers taking advantage of the device’s flexible I/O and in-circuit reconfigurability.
• Embedded Memory Functions — Implement small dual-port RAM blocks, lookup tables, and FIFO buffers using the EAB resources for compact on-chip storage.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory: 576 logic elements combined with 12,288 bits of embedded RAM provide a well-balanced resource mix for control-oriented and memory-assisted functions.
• Flexible I/O Integration: Up to 136 user I/Os with MultiVolt family support enable direct interfacing to a wide range of peripherals and legacy devices.
• Compact, Surface‑Mount Package: The 256‑BGA (256‑FBGA 17×17) package delivers a small board footprint for space-constrained applications.
• Field Reconfigurability and Testability: Built-in JTAG and in‑circuit reconfiguration support facilitate field updates and reduce development and maintenance complexity.
• Commercial Temperature and RoHS Compliance: Rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operation and RoHS compliant for environmental and supply-chain alignment.
