EP1K30FC256-2N

The EP1K30FC256-2N is an ACEX-1K programmable logic device offering mid-range logic capacity in a compact 256-ball FineLine BGA package. Built around the ACEX 1K architecture, it combines a dedicated logic array with embedded array blocks (EABs) to deliver efficient on-chip memory and specialized logic for system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) integration.

With 1,728 logic elements, approximately 24,576 bits of embedded RAM, and 171 user I/O pins, this device targets communications equipment, embedded control, and mid-density logic applications that require flexible I/O, in-circuit reconfigurability, and compact board-level integration.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity 1,728 logic elements and support for up to 119,000 system gates provide mid-range programmable logic resources for control, glue-logic, and custom processing functions.
• Embedded Memory (EABs) Six embedded array blocks delivering a total of 24,576 bits of RAM (approximately 0.025 Mbits) with dual-port capability for efficient on-chip data buffering and memory-mapped functions.
• I/O and Package 171 user I/O pins in a 256-FBGA (17×17) surface-mount package enable dense board-level connectivity while minimizing PCB footprint.
• Power and Supply Operates with an internal 2.5 V core and a supply range listed at 2.375 V to 2.625 V for the device core; MultiVolt I/O options allow interfacing with 2.5 V, 3.3 V, or 5.0 V signaling environments as part of the ACEX 1K family features.
• System Features Built-in JTAG boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1) for board-level test and in-circuit reconfigurability via external configuration devices or the JTAG port.
• Clocking and Performance Low-skew clock distribution with options such as ClockLock and ClockBoost, plus support for multiple global clocks and global clears to simplify synchronous design.
• Interconnect and Arithmetic Support FastTrack continuous routing structure with dedicated carry and cascade chains to implement high-speed adders, counters, and wide fan-in logic efficiently.
• Temperature & Grade Commercial grade with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C, suitable for general-purpose and commercial embedded applications.
• RoHS Compliant Device meets RoHS environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• Communications Equipment Use the EP1K30FC256-2N for protocol bridging, packet buffering, and control-plane logic where on-chip RAM and flexible I/O improve integration and reduce external components.
• Embedded System Integration (SOPC) Implement custom peripherals, glue logic, and memory-mapped functions to consolidate multiple discrete components into a single programmable device.
• Interface and I/O Expansion Leverage 171 I/O pins and MultiVolt I/O capability to interface with a variety of voltage domains and peripherals in mid-density system designs.
• Control and Timing Logic Use built-in clock distribution and dedicated arithmetic chains for precise timing, counters, and deterministic control logic in industrial and consumer systems.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated mid-range logic: 1,728 logic elements with embedded RAM and dedicated chains reduce external component count for many control and buffering tasks.
• Flexible I/O interfacing: Family-level MultiVolt I/O support enables direct interfacing to 2.5 V, 3.3 V, or 5.0 V devices, simplifying mixed-voltage board designs.
• Compact board footprint: 256-FBGA (17×17) surface-mount package delivers a dense pinout for high I/O count in space-constrained layouts.
• Design and test support: JTAG boundary-scan and in-circuit reconfigurability streamline production test, debugging, and field updates.
• Efficient memory and arithmetic: Dual-port EABs and dedicated carry/cascade chains support high-throughput data paths and arithmetic operations without occupying general logic.
• Commercial-grade reliability: Designed for commercial temperature ranges (0 °C to 70 °C) and RoHS compliance for standard embedded product lines.
