EP1K30QI208-2

The EP1K30QI208-2 is an ACEX-1K family FPGA from Intel designed for system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) integration. It combines mid-density programmable logic with embedded memory and flexible I/O to support functions such as on-chip memory, specialized logic, and dual-port embedded-array implementations.

Targeted at industrial and communications-oriented designs, this device delivers a balance of logic capacity, on-chip RAM, and I/O count in a compact surface-mount package for volume-focused and cost-sensitive applications.

Key Features

• Core Logic — Approximately 1,728 logic elements providing a programmable fabric sized for mid-density logic integration; device listing shows up to 119,000 system gates.
• Embedded Memory (EABs) — Total on-chip RAM of 24,576 bits with embedded array blocks (EABs) and dual-port capability to support efficient on-chip storage and megafunctions.
• I/O Flexibility — 147 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O capability (I/O can drive or be driven by 2.5-V, 3.3-V, or 5.0-V devices according to the device family specification) and programmable output options for interface adaptability.
• Supply and Operating Range — Operates with a 2.5-V internal supply and a specified voltage-supply range of 2.375 V to 2.625 V; rated for industrial operating temperatures from 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Configuration and Test — Built-in JTAG boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1) for board test and support for in-circuit reconfigurability via external configuration devices or the JTAG port.
• Clocking and Timing — Built-in low-skew clock distribution trees with multiple global clocks and options such as ClockLock and ClockBoost for reduced clock delay and skew (family-level features).
• Interconnect and Arithmetic — FastTrack interconnect architecture with dedicated carry and cascade chains to implement arithmetic and high-fan-in logic functions efficiently.
• Package and Mounting — Surface-mount 208-pin BFQFP package (supplier package: 208-PQFP 28×28) for compact board integration.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Systems / SOPC Integration — Implement memory-backed megafunctions and custom logic for system integration on a single programmable device.
• Communications Equipment — Mid-density logic and embedded RAM support protocol processing and buffering demands in communications modules.
• Industrial Control — Programmable control, I/O interfacing, and local data buffering in industrial automation applications within the specified operating temperature range.
• Cost-Sensitive High-Volume Designs — Cost-optimized programmable architecture suitable for designs where integration and unit-cost are primary considerations.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Integration: Combines 1,728 logic elements with 24,576 bits of on-chip RAM to reduce external component count and simplify board-level memory requirements.
• Flexible Interfacing: A large complement of 147 I/O pins with family-level MultiVolt I/O support simplifies interfacing to a variety of voltage domains.
• Deterministic Clocking: Low-skew clock distribution and multiple global clocks with ClockLock/ClockBoost options support predictable timing in synchronous designs.
• Test and Reconfiguration: Integrated JTAG boundary-scan and in-circuit reconfigurability enable board-level testability and field updates without additional logic consumption.
• Board-Level Friendly Package: 208-pin BFQFP surface-mount package (208-PQFP, 28×28) fits compact PCB layouts while preserving ample I/O.
• Industrial-Rated Operation: Supplied in an industrial grade variant with an operating range of 0 °C to 70 °C and defined supply voltage window for predictable deployment.
