EP1K30QC208-1

The EP1K30QC208-1 is an ACEX-1K series field-programmable gate array (FPGA) optimized for commercial embedded and high-volume system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) designs. It provides a compact, surface-mount 208-pin package with a balance of logic capacity, embedded memory, and I/O to support communication, control, and integration tasks on space-constrained PCBs.

Built around an architecture that combines dedicated logic elements and embedded array blocks, the device targets applications that require on-chip RAM, moderate gate density, and flexible I/O voltage interfacing while operating from a 2.5 V internal supply.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 1,728 logic elements and approximately 119,000 system gates provide mid-range programmable logic resources for glue logic, finite-state machines, and custom data paths.
• Embedded Memory — 24,576 total RAM bits of on-chip memory for FIFOs, small buffers, and state storage without external RAM.
• I/O Flexibility — 147 user I/O pins with MultiVolt capability; I/O pins can drive or be driven by 2.5 V, 3.3 V, or 5.0 V devices (series-level feature).
• Power and Supply — Operates with a 2.5 V internal supply; device voltage supply specified from 2.375 V to 2.625 V for the core.
• Packaging & Mounting — Surface-mount 208-BFQFP package; supplier device package listed as 208-PQFP (28×28), suitable for compact board integration.
• Configuration & Test — Built-in JTAG boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1) and in-circuit reconfigurability options for programming and board-level test.
• Clocking & Performance Features — Series-level features include low-skew clock trees, ClockLock/ClockBoost options, and up to six global clock signals for synchronous designs.
• Architectural Enhancements — Dedicated carry and cascade chains and a continuous routing FastTrack interconnect structure to accelerate arithmetic and high-fan-in logic implementations.
• Compliance & Environmental — RoHS compliant and rated for commercial temperature operation from 0 °C to 70 °C.

Typical Applications

• Communication Interfaces — Implement protocol glue logic, data buffering, and timing-critical interface functions using the device's I/O flexibility and embedded RAM.
• Embedded Control — Integrate custom control logic, state machines, and peripheral aggregation for consumer and commercial equipment.
• SOPC and System Integration — Use the ACEX-1K architecture to consolidate specialized logic and small memory blocks into a single programmable device for board-level integration.
• Prototyping and Product Development — Rapidly iterate hardware functions and in-circuit reconfigure via JTAG during development and test cycles.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory — 1,728 logic elements combined with 24,576 RAM bits let you implement mixed logic-plus-buffer designs without external memory for many common use cases.
• Flexible I/O Interfacing — MultiVolt I/O support simplifies interfacing to 2.5 V, 3.3 V, or 5.0 V peripherals, reducing the need for level translators on mixed-voltage boards.
• Compact, Surface-Mount Packaging — 208-pin BFQFP/PQFP package provides a high pin count in a compact footprint for space-constrained designs.
• In-System Reconfigurability and Test — JTAG boundary-scan and ICR options streamline board-level testing and field updates, lowering development and maintenance effort.
• Deterministic Clocking — Built-in low-skew clock distribution and dedicated clock resources help maintain timing across medium-complexity synchronous designs.
