EP1K30FC256-3NAA

The EP1K30FC256-3NAA is an ACEX-1K family FPGA from Intel, designed for low-cost system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) integration. It combines a logic array with embedded memory blocks to implement megafunctions such as efficient memory, buffering, and specialized logic on a single surface-mount device.

Targeted for communications and high-volume embedded designs, this device delivers a compact package, multi-volt I/O flexibility, and in-circuit reconfigurability to simplify board-level integration and accelerate time-to-market.

Key Features

• Core Logic  1,728 logic elements providing programmable combinational and sequential logic capacity; approximately 119,000 maximum system gates.
• Embedded Memory  Total on-chip RAM of 24,576 bits and six embedded array blocks (EABs) for implementing dual-port memory and storage-intensive megafunctions.
• I/O and Signalling  171 user I/O pins with MultiVolt capability to interface with 2.5 V, 3.3 V, or 5.0 V devices as supported by the ACEX-1K family; bidirectional I/O performance up to 250 MHz (family characteristic).
• Package and Mounting  256-ball FineLine BGA (256-FBGA, 17 × 17) surface-mount package for high-density board designs.
• Power and Supply  Operates with an internal 2.5 V supply; device I/O supply range shown as 2.375 V to 2.625 V in product data.
• Temperature and Grade  Commercial grade operation from 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Configuration and Test  In-circuit reconfigurability via external configuration devices, intelligent controller, or JTAG port; built-in JTAG boundary-scan test (BST) circuitry (family feature).
• Clocking and Performance Options  Features in-family options such as ClockLock and ClockBoost, low-skew clock distribution trees, and dedicated carry/cascade chains for arithmetic and high-fan-in logic implementations (series-level features).
• Compliance and Environmental  RoHS compliant; family-level PCI Local Bus Specification support for 3.3 V operation (family characteristic).

Typical Applications

• Communications Equipment  Implement protocol handling, buffering, and interface logic using the device’s embedded RAM and logic elements to support high-throughput data paths.
• SOPC and System Integration  Combine logic, dual-port embedded memory, and dedicated carry/cascade chains to build megafunctions and consolidate discrete components on a single programmable device.
• Embedded Control and Peripherals  Use the programmable I/O and reconfigurability to implement custom peripheral interfaces, glue logic, and low-latency control functions.
• High-Volume Consumer and Industrial Designs  Cost-optimized architecture and compact FBGA packaging suit designs where board area and BOM reduction are priorities.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated FPGA: Combines 1,728 logic elements with six EABs and 24,576 bits of on-chip RAM to implement memory-rich and logic-dense functions on a single device.
• Flexible I/O voltage support: MultiVolt I/O capability enables direct interfacing with multiple logic families, reducing level-shifter requirements on mixed-voltage boards.
• Compact, board-friendly package: 256-FBGA (17 × 17) surface-mount package enables high-density PCB layouts while keeping signal routing predictable.
• Reconfigurable in circuit: Supports in-circuit reconfigurability and JTAG boundary-scan for easy updates and testability during development and production.
• Family-level tool and design support: Supported by ACEX-1K family design tools and megafunction libraries for automated place-and-route and rapid design entry.
• Regulatory and environmental readiness: RoHS compliance simplifies integration into modern manufacturing and regulatory environments.
