EP1K10TC100-2

The EP1K10TC100-2 is an ACEX-1K series programmable logic device from Intel. It combines a logic array and embedded memory blocks to enable system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) integration for compact, reconfigurable designs.

With 576 logic elements, approximately 12,288 bits of on-chip RAM and 66 user I/O pins in a 100-TQFP (14×14) surface-mount package, this commercial-grade device targets communications, embedded control and moderate-density programmable logic applications where integration, in-system reconfigurability and predictable I/O behavior are important.

Key Features

• Logic and density — 576 logic elements and a listed gate count of 56,000 provide moderate programmable logic capacity for control, glue-logic and custom datapath functions.
• Embedded memory — Approximately 12,288 bits of on-chip RAM implemented across the ACEX-1K embedded array blocks (EABs), supporting dual-port operation and up to 16-bit width per block for efficient megafunction implementation.
• I/O and interfacing — 66 user I/O pins; the ACEX-1K family provides MultiVolt I/O capability to interface with 2.5 V, 3.3 V or 5.0 V devices, enabling flexible board-level integration.
• Power and supply — Device operates with a 2.5 V internal supply; listed external supply range 2.375 V to 2.625 V to support the device core voltage requirements.
• Packaging and mounting — 100-TQFP (14×14) surface-mount package for standard PCB assembly and compact board footprint.
• System features and configurability — In-circuit reconfigurability (ICR) via external configuration devices or JTAG, built-in JTAG boundary-scan test circuitry (IEEE 1149.1), and clock management options such as ClockLock and ClockBoost for reduced clock delay and skew.
• Dedicated arithmetic and routing — Dedicated carry and cascade chains plus FastTrack interconnect improve performance and predictability for adders, counters and high-fan-in logic functions.
• Commercial temperature and compliance — Commercial operating temperature range 0 °C to 70 °C and RoHS-compliant construction.

Typical Applications

• Communications modules — Implements protocol glue logic, packet buffering and custom packet-processing functions where embedded RAM and reconfigurable logic reduce BOM and speed time-to-market.
• Embedded control — Provides glue logic, state machines and peripheral interfacing for industrial and consumer embedded controllers that require moderate logic density and reprogrammability.
• System-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) — Integrates megafunctions such as small memories and specialized logic blocks to consolidate discrete components and simplify board-level design.
• PCI and legacy bus interfaces — ACEX-1K family features include support relevant to PCI Local Bus implementations (per series datasheet), useful for board-level interface logic in bused systems.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced logic and memory — 576 logic elements combined with embedded RAM (12,288 bits) provide a practical mix for designs that need both custom logic and local data storage.
• Flexible I/O interfacing — MultiVolt I/O capability supports interfacing to a range of voltage domains, simplifying mixed-voltage board designs.
• Reconfigurability and testability — In-circuit reconfigurability and built-in JTAG boundary-scan enable field updates and board-level test without consuming user logic.
• Dedicated architecture for common arithmetic — Carry and cascade chains accelerate adders, counters and comparators while reducing routing overhead for arithmetic-heavy functions.
• Compact package option — 100-TQFP (14×14) surface-mount packaging offers a small footprint for space-constrained boards while maintaining accessible I/O counts.
