EP1K30TC144-2

The EP1K30TC144-2 is an ACEX-1K programmable logic device offering a compact, cost-efficient FPGA architecture for system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) integration. It combines a logic array with embedded array blocks to implement general logic and efficient on-chip memory for megafunctions.

Designed for commercial applications, this device targets use in communications and general embedded systems that require reconfigurable logic, moderate on-chip RAM, and a flexible I/O complement in a 144-pin surface-mount package.

Key Features

• Core Logic — 1,728 logic elements provide the programmable resources for combinational and sequential logic implementations; device family supports dedicated carry and cascade chains for arithmetic and high fan-in logic.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 24,576 bits of embedded RAM arranged in multiple Embedded Array Blocks (EABs) to support dual-port memory functions and megafunction implementation.
• System Gates — Up to 119,000 maximum system gates available for higher-level capacity planning and device migration within the ACEX-1K family.
• I/O and Multivoltage Support — 102 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O capability to interface with 2.5-V, 3.3-V, or 5.0-V devices as supported by the ACEX-1K family.
• Configuration and Test — In-circuit reconfigurability options and built-in JTAG boundary-scan test (IEEE 1149.1) enable flexible configuration and board-level test without consuming device logic.
• Clocking and Timing — Built-in low-skew clock distribution trees with multiple global clock signals, plus optional ClockLock and ClockBoost features to reduce clock delay and skew.
• Interconnect and Megafunction Support — FastTrack continuous routing, dedicated carry/cascade chains, and support for parameterized megafunctions simplify implementation of high-speed arithmetic and specialized functions.
• Power and Supply — Operates with an internal 2.5-V supply; specified device voltage supply range 2.375 V to 2.625 V.
• Package and Mounting — Surface-mount 144-LQFP package (supplier device package listed as 144-TQFP, 20 × 20 mm) suitable for compact PCB designs.
• Commercial Temperature Grade — Specified operating temperature range 0 °C to 70 °C for commercial applications.
• Standards and Compatibility — ACEX-1K family devices support PCI Local Bus Specification compliance for 3.3-V operation at 33 MHz or 66 MHz (as applicable within the family).

Typical Applications

• Communications Equipment — Implement protocol bridging, packet buffering, or interface logic using the device’s embedded RAM and flexible I/O to support medium-density networking functions.
• System-on-a-Programmable-Chip (SOPC) — Integrate controllers, custom peripherals, and memory-backed megafunctions into a single programmable device to reduce board-level component count.
• Peripheral and Bus Interfaces — Use the MultiVolt I/O and available logic resources to implement interface logic and glue for 2.5-V, 3.3-V, or 5.0-V peripherals and buses.
• Embedded Control and Glue Logic — Replace discrete logic with reprogrammable logic elements for state machines, glue logic, and control functions while preserving PCB space.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory: Combines 1,728 logic elements with approximately 24,576 bits of on-chip RAM to support both control logic and moderate data buffering without external memory.
• Flexible I/O Interfacing: MultiVolt I/O capability lets a single device interface directly to multiple voltage domains, simplifying board-level level-shifting and BOM.
• In-Circuit Reconfigurability: Supports in-system reconfiguration and JTAG boundary-scan for rapid firmware updates and board-level testability.
• Clock and Routing Enhancements: Low-skew clock trees, ClockLock/ClockBoost options, and FastTrack routing reduce timing uncertainty and simplify high-frequency designs.
• Compact, Surface-Mount Packaging: 144-LQFP surface-mount package provides a small footprint for space-constrained PCBs while exposing 102 user I/Os.
• Toolchain and Design Support: Supported by Altera development systems and common design entry formats to accelerate synthesis, place-and-route, and verification workflows.
