EP1K30TC144-1N

The EP1K30TC144-1N is an ACEX-1K series field programmable gate array (FPGA) designed for system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) integration. This programmable logic device provides a balance of on-chip memory, logic capacity, and I/O density for commercial embedded and communications designs.

Built around the ACEX-1K architecture, the device targets cost-sensitive, high-volume applications and supports on-chip embedded array blocks and flexible interconnect to implement memory and specialized logic functions within a single package.

Key Features

• Core Logic: 1,728 logic elements (LEs) providing programmable logic resources for custom digital functions and glue logic.
• Embedded Memory: 24,576 total RAM bits with ACEX-1K embedded array block (EAB) support; EP1K30 devices include EABs with dual-port capability for efficient on-chip memory implementations.
• Gate Capacity: Approximate device gate count of 119,000 (maximum system gates reported for EP1K30 family), allowing integration of moderate-complexity designs.
• I/O and Voltage: 102 user I/O pins; MultiVolt I/O architecture in the ACEX-1K family supports interfacing flexibility. Device supply range is 2.375 V to 2.625 V with a 2.5 V internal supply.
• Package and Mounting: 144-lead LQFP package (supplier device package listed as 144-TQFP, 20×20); surface-mount mounting type for standard PCB assembly.
• Configuration and Test: In-circuit reconfigurability (ICR) via external configuration devices or JTAG; built-in JTAG boundary-scan (IEEE 1149.1) for board-level test and debug.
• Clock and Interconnect: Dedicated carry and cascade chains, FastTrack interconnect, and multiple global clocks and clears for predictable timing and high-fan-in functions.
• Operational Range and Compliance: Commercial grade with operating temperature 0 °C to 70 °C and RoHS compliance.

Typical Applications

• Communications Modules: Useful for implementing protocol bridging, packet handling, or control logic in communications equipment where embedded memory and moderate logic density are needed.
• System-on-a-Board Integration: Ideal for SOPC and board-level integration tasks—combining memory, logic, and I/O in a single programmable device.
• PCI-Connected Designs: The ACEX-1K family documents PCI Local Bus Specification compliance for -1 speed grade devices, supporting implementation in PCI-based systems where applicable.
• Embedded Control and Glue Logic: Suitable for sensor interfacing, control state machines, and timing-critical glue logic that leverage dedicated carry and cascade chains.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Integration: Combines 1,728 logic elements with 24,576 bits of on-chip RAM to reduce external memory and logic components.
• Flexible I/O and Voltage Options: MultiVolt I/O capability and 102 user I/Os enable interfacing with a range of board-level peripherals and voltage domains.
• Design and Test Support: Built-in JTAG boundary-scan and in-circuit reconfigurability streamline prototype bring-up, testing, and iterative development.
• Predictable Timing Resources: Dedicated carry/cascade chains and global clock distribution help implement arithmetic functions and high-fan-in logic with consistent timing.
• Commercial Suitability: Commercial-grade device with a standard 0 °C to 70 °C operating range and RoHS compliance for mainstream electronics production.
• Compact Package: 144-lead LQFP/TQFP package provides a compact footprint for space-constrained PCB designs while preserving pin access for I/O and configuration signals.
