EP1K50FC256-3N

The EP1K50FC256-3N is an ACEX-1K family programmable logic device providing a compact, reconfigurable FPGA targeted for commercial designs. It combines a logic array with embedded memory resources and flexible I/O to support system-on-programmable-chip integration and a variety of FPGA-based functions.

With 2,880 logic elements and approximately 40,960 bits of embedded memory, this device is suited for applications that need moderate logic density, on-chip RAM, and a high-pin-count BGA package for compact board layouts.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 2,880 logic elements and up to 199,000 maximum system gates provide room for mid-range combinational and sequential logic implementations.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 40,960 bits of on-chip RAM (EABs available in the ACEX‑1K family) to support data buffering, small LUT tables, and dual-port memory functions.
• I/O Density and Flexibility — 186 user I/Os with MultiVolt I/O family capability for interfacing to a range of voltage domains; individual pin options for output enable and slew-rate control are supported by the ACEX‑1K family.
• Package and Mounting — 256-ball Fine-pitch BGA (256-FBGA, 17×17) in a 256-BGA package case, designed for surface-mount PCB assembly with a compact footprint.
• Power — Operates with a core supply in the range of 2.375 V to 2.625 V; device I/O options support multiple voltage domains as provided by the ACEX‑1K architecture.
• Commercial Temperature Grade — Rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operation, suitable for commercial electronics environments.
• Test and Configuration Support — Family-level features include JTAG boundary-scan for in-circuit testability and support for in-circuit reconfigurability mechanisms.
• RoHS Compliant — The device is RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Communications Equipment — Use for protocol handling, data buffering, and glue logic in mid-range communications systems where on-chip RAM and reconfigurable logic simplify implementation.
• Embedded System Integration — Implement SOPC-style integration of custom logic and memory functions for commercial embedded products.
• Consumer and Commercial Electronics — Mid-density FPGA functions such as peripheral control, interface bridging, and custom logic in compact BGA packages for space-constrained boards.
• Prototyping and Development — Reconfigurable logic and JTAG support make the device useful for iterative hardware development and validation in commercial designs.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory — 2,880 logic elements paired with approximately 40,960 bits of embedded RAM allow integration of control logic and local data storage on a single device, reducing external component count.
• High I/O Count in a Compact Package — 186 user I/Os in a 256-FBGA (17×17) package enable dense signal routing while keeping board footprint small.
• Flexible Power and I/O Options — Core supply range of 2.375–2.625 V and family-level MultiVolt I/O support make the device adaptable to mixed-voltage systems.
• Commercial Temperature Rating — Designed for 0 °C to 70 °C environments commonly encountered in commercial electronics applications.
• Design-for-Test and Reconfiguration — JTAG boundary-scan and in-circuit reconfigurability facilitate testing, programming, and iterative design changes without additional hardware.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliance supports environmental and manufacturing requirements for lead-free designs.
