EP1K10FC256-3

The EP1K10FC256-3 is an ACEX-1K® FPGA family device delivering reconfigurable logic and embedded memory in a compact 256-FBGA (17×17) package. Built for commercial applications, this device combines 576 logic elements with approximately 12,288 bits of on-chip RAM and 136 user I/Os to enable system-on-programmable-chip integration, memory-mapped functions, and general-purpose logic processing.

Designed for cost-efficient, low-power implementations, the device supports in-circuit reconfigurability and JTAG boundary-scan for board-level test and configuration. Its electrical and package specifications make it suitable for a range of commercial communications and embedded control applications.

Key Features

• Core Logic  576 logic elements (LEs) provide combinational and sequential resources for implementing custom logic, state machines, and peripheral glue logic.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 12,288 bits of on-chip RAM for data buffering, small FIFOs, and lookup tables.
• I/O Density  136 user I/O pins support interfacing to external devices and peripherals in a compact BGA footprint.
• Package & Mounting  256-FBGA (17×17) package in a surface-mount form factor for PCB designs with a small board area budget.
• Power Supply  Specified supply range of 2.375 V to 2.625 V with an internal 2.5-V core supply as documented for the ACEX-1K family.
• Temperature & Grade  Commercial grade operation from 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Configuration & Test  In-circuit reconfigurability and JTAG boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1) support for configuration, programming, and board-level test.
• Flexible I/O & System Features  ACEX-1K family features cited in the datasheet include MultiVolt I/O options, individual tri-state control, open-drain options, and programmable slew-rate control to tailor I/O behavior.
• Interconnect & Arithmetic Support  Series architecture includes dedicated carry and cascade chains and FastTrack interconnect to support arithmetic functions and predictable routing.
• RoHS Compliant  Device is RoHS compliant for lead-free manufacturing workflows.

Typical Applications

• Communications Equipment  Use the device for glue logic, protocol bridging, and small packet buffering where compact FPGA resources and reconfigurability are needed.
• Embedded Control  Implement control state machines, peripheral interfaces, and timing-critical logic in consumer and commercial embedded systems.
• System Integration / SOPC  Integrate memory-mapped functions and custom logic to reduce board-level component count in system-on-a-programmable-chip designs.
• Board-Level Test & In-System Updates  Leverage JTAG boundary-scan and in-circuit reconfigurability for diagnostics, firmware updates, and manufacturing test flows.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, reconfigurable platform: 576 logic elements and embedded RAM allow implementation of moderate-complexity functions in a single 256-FBGA device, reducing BOM and PCB area.
• Flexible I/O options: 136 I/Os and MultiVolt I/O capabilities let you interface with a variety of peripheral voltage domains without adding level-shifting components.
• Board-level testability: IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan support enables streamlined production testing and in-system programming.
• Predictable arithmetic and routing support: Dedicated carry and cascade chains with FastTrack interconnect simplify implementation of adders, counters, and other high-fan-in logic.
• Commercial-grade reliability: Specified operating range of 0 °C to 70 °C and RoHS compliance align with commercial production and regulatory expectations.
• Toolchain and ecosystem support: ACEX-1K family design support (as documented) enables integration with common FPGA development flows for synthesis, place-and-route, and simulation.
