EP1K10TC144-3

The EP1K10TC144-3 is a commercial-grade ACEX 1K family FPGA delivering mid-density programmable logic in a 144-LQFP surface-mount package. It integrates 576 logic elements and approximately 12,288 bits of embedded RAM to support system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) integration, efficient memory blocks, and general-purpose logic functions.

Designed for applications such as communications equipment, embedded systems, and custom logic acceleration, this device provides a balance of I/O count (92 pins), on-chip memory, and logic capacity with a 2.375 V to 2.625 V supply range and 0 °C to 70 °C commercial operating temperature.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  576 logic elements and a gate-equivalent capacity of 56,000 support mid-density logic implementations and combinational/sequential functions.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 12,288 bits of on-chip RAM with embedded-array block (EAB) architecture for efficient implementation of dual-port memories and megafunctions.
• I/O and Voltage  92 user I/O pins with family-level MultiVolt I/O capability to interface with 2.5-V, 3.3-V, or 5.0-V devices; device data lists a supply range of 2.375 V to 2.625 V.
• Package and Mounting  144-LQFP (surface mount) package suitable for compact PCB layouts and standard assembly processes; supplier package listed as 144-TQFP (20×20).
• Configuration and Test  Supports in-circuit reconfigurability and includes JTAG boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1) for board-level test and programming without consuming device logic.
• Clocking and Performance Features  Family-level features include built-in low-skew clock distribution, options for reduced clock delay and skew (ClockLock and ClockBoost), and dedicated carry/cascade chains for arithmetic and high-fan-in logic.
• Reliability and Compliance  RoHS-compliant lead-free device with commercial-grade operating range (0 °C to 70 °C) and 100% functional testing as part of family qualification.

Typical Applications

• Communications Equipment  Use for protocol handling, packet buffering, and interface bridging where mid-range logic density and embedded RAM are required.
• Embedded Systems / SOPC  Implement custom peripherals, glue logic, and megafunctions for system-on-a-programmable-chip designs using on-chip RAM and logic array resources.
• Peripheral and Bus Interfaces  Integrate bus logic and timing-critical I/O functions; family-level support includes compliance with PCI Local Bus specification for 3.3-V operation (33 MHz/66 MHz).
• Control and Custom Logic  Ideal for motor control, sensor interfacing, and UI/control logic requiring flexible I/O, dedicated arithmetic chains, and reprogrammability.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Integration: Combines 576 logic elements with approximately 12,288 bits of embedded RAM to reduce external memory needs and simplify board-level BOM.
• Flexible I/O Interfacing: Family-level MultiVolt I/O support and 92 user I/O pins enable direct interfacing to a wide range of peripherals and voltage domains.
• Design and Test Support: JTAG boundary-scan and in-circuit reconfigurability streamline programming and manufacturing test flows without consuming logic resources.
• Clocking and Performance Options: Built-in clock distribution, ClockLock/ClockBoost options, and dedicated carry/cascade chains help implement timing-critical functions and arithmetic operations efficiently.
• Proven Family Ecosystem: Part of the ACEX 1K family with documented tools and design flows for synthesis, place-and-route, and megafunction support to accelerate development.
• Compact, Surface-Mount Package: 144-LQFP surface-mount packaging supports space-constrained designs while providing ample I/O for mid-density applications.
