EP1K10TC144-3N

The EP1K10TC144-3N is an Intel ACEX-1K family field programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 144-pin LQFP package. It integrates programmable logic and embedded memory to deliver a compact, reconfigurable platform suitable for system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) designs and communications-focused applications.

With 576 logic elements, 12,288 bits of on-chip RAM and 92 user I/O pins, this commercial-grade device targets cost-sensitive, volume applications that require flexible I/O, in-circuit reconfigurability and proven FPGA design tool support.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity 576 logic elements enabling mid-density programmable logic implementations and on-chip integration of control and glue logic.
• Embedded Memory Approximately 12,288 bits of embedded RAM for local storage, FIFOs or small data buffers to support memory-intensive functions.
• Gate Count 56,000 system gates for estimating overall design complexity and partitioning.
• I/O and Voltage 92 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O capabilities and an internal 2.5 V supply; device supply range specified at 2.375 V to 2.625 V.
• Package and Mounting 144-LQFP package (supplier device package: 144-TQFP, 20×20) with surface-mount construction for PCB integration.
• Reconfigurability and Test Supports in-circuit reconfigurability and built-in JTAG boundary-scan for device configuration and board-level testability.
• Clocking and Interconnect Family features include low-skew clock distribution, dedicated carry and cascade chains, and a fast, predictable routing fabric for timing-sensitive functions.
• Thermal and Environmental Commercial operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C and RoHS-compliant construction.

Typical Applications

• Communications Interfaces Implement protocol bridging, packet buffering and custom interface logic where reconfigurable I/O and embedded RAM are required.
• SOPC and System Glue Consolidate glue logic, bus arbitration and peripheral control in a single programmable device to reduce BOM and PCB complexity.
• Memory and Buffering Use the device’s embedded RAM and dual-port capabilities for small on-chip FIFOs, lookup tables or temporary data storage.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, mid-density integration: 576 logic elements and 12,288 bits of embedded RAM provide a balanced platform for integrating logic and small-memory functions without external devices.
• Flexible I/O and supply: MultiVolt I/O capability and a 2.5 V internal supply support mixed-voltage interfacing in multi-device systems.
• Design and test support: Built-in JTAG boundary-scan and the ACEX family’s software toolchain simplify development, configuration and board-level test.
• Reconfigurable in-circuit: In-circuit reconfigurability enables firmware updates and late-stage feature changes without hardware redesign.
• Proven architecture features: Dedicated carry and cascade chains plus low-skew clock trees help implement arithmetic and high-fan-in logic efficiently.
• Regulatory and assembly readiness: Commercial grade with RoHS compliance and surface-mount packaging suitable for standard assembly flows.
