EP1K50FC484-1N

The EP1K50FC484-1N is an ACEX-1K family field programmable gate array (FPGA) optimized for system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) integration and memory‑intensive logic functions. As a programmable logic device, it combines a dedicated embedded array architecture with a general-purpose logic array to support efficient implementation of specialized logic, dual-port memories, and high-density logic.

This commercial-grade device targets high-volume, cost-sensitive applications such as communications and system integration where multi-volt I/O flexibility, in-circuit reconfigurability, and a compact BGA package are valuable design attributes.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 2,880 logic elements providing a logic resource scaled for medium-density FPGA designs; supports up to 199,000 system gates as a family characteristic.
• Embedded Memory (EABs) — Family-level enhanced embedded array blocks (EABs) support dual-port operation and efficient memory megafunctions; this device provides approximately 40,960 bits of on-chip RAM for data buffering and small on-chip storage.
• I/O and System Signals — 249 user I/O pins and support for up to six global clocks and multiple global clears as provided by the ACEX-1K architecture for flexible clocking and I/O integration.
• Package — Surface-mount 484-BBGA supplied in a 484-FBGA (23×23) footprint, enabling compact board-level integration and high I/O density.
• Power and Supply — Operates with a 2.5‑V internal supply and a voltage supply range of 2.375 V to 2.625 V for core operation.
• Configuration and Test — In-circuit reconfigurability via external configuration devices, an intelligent controller, or JTAG; built-in JTAG boundary-scan (IEEE Std. 1149.1) available without consuming device logic.
• Performance and Interconnect — FastTrack continuous routing and dedicated carry and cascade chains for arithmetic and high‑fan‑in logic functions to improve predictable routing and performance.
• Commercial Temperature Range — Rated for operation from 0 °C to 70 °C for commercial applications.
• RoHS Compliant — Device is RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Communications Equipment — Implement protocol bridging, interface logic and buffering using the device’s on-chip RAM and flexible I/O to support multi-volt signaling.
• SOPC and System Integration — Integrate memory megafunctions and specialized logic in a single programmable device to reduce board-level component count and simplify system design.
• Embedded Logic and Control — Use the dedicated carry and cascade chains for arithmetic accelerators, counters, and control functions in mid-density embedded designs.
• PCI and Legacy Interfaces — Family features include PCI Local Bus Specification support for certain speed grades and flexible I/O options useful when bridging to standard bus interfaces.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced integration — Combines 2,880 logic elements with approximately 40,960 bits of embedded RAM for mixed logic-and-memory implementations without additional external memory in many designs.
• Flexible I/O and signaling — 249 I/O pins and family-level MultiVolt I/O capability support interfacing to 2.5-V, 3.3-V, or 5.0-V devices where required by the system architecture.
• Reconfigurability and testability — In-circuit reconfigurability and built-in JTAG boundary-scan enable field updates and board-level test without consuming user logic.
• Predictable routing and performance — FastTrack interconnect and dedicated arithmetic/cascade chains deliver predictable delays for timing-sensitive functions.
• Compact board footprint — 484-BBGA / 484-FBGA (23×23) package provides high I/O density in a small surface-mount package for space-constrained designs.
