EP1K50FC484-3

The EP1K50FC484-3 is an ACEX-1K® field programmable gate array (FPGA) device designed for cost-efficient system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) integration. As a member of the ACEX 1K family, it combines a logic array with embedded array blocks to support megafunctions such as efficient memory and specialized logic.

This commercial-grade device targets high-volume, cost-sensitive applications where moderate logic density, on-chip RAM, and a large number of I/O pins are required. The part ships in a 484‑BBGA surface-mount package and operates over a 0 °C to 70 °C range with a supply window of 2.375 V to 2.625 V.

Key Features

• Core Logic 2,880 logic elements (LEs) and a typical gate-equivalent capacity of up to 199,000 system gates provide programmable logic for control, glue logic, and custom datapath implementations.
• Embedded Memory Approximately 40,960 bits of on-chip RAM across embedded array blocks (EABs) enable dual-port memory implementations and efficient storage for buffering and state machines.
• I/O and System-Level Support Up to 249 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O capability to interface with 2.5‑V, 3.3‑V, or 5.0‑V devices; features include programmable output slew-rate control, per-pin tri-state enable, and open-drain options.
• Configuration and Test In-circuit reconfigurability (ICR) via external configuration devices or the JTAG port, plus built-in JTAG boundary-scan test circuitry compliant with IEEE Std. 1149.1-1990.
• Clocking and Performance Options Low-skew clock distribution trees, options such as ClockLock™ and ClockBoost™ for reduced clock delay and skew, and dedicated carry/cascade chains for high-speed arithmetic and high-fan-in logic.
• Package & Mounting Surface-mount 484‑BBGA package (supplier device package: 484‑FBGA 23×23) for compact PCB integration in space-constrained designs.
• Power & Operating Conditions Operates with an internal 2.5‑V supply and external voltage supply range of 2.375 V to 2.625 V; commercial temperature grade specified from 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Standards & Compliance RoHS compliant and includes features for PCI Local Bus compatibility in the ACEX 1K family (3.3‑V operation) as described in the product family datasheet.
• Design Ecosystem Supported by ACEX 1K family software development tools and common EDA flows for Verilog, VHDL, and megafunction integration as documented in the family datasheet.

Typical Applications

• Communications and Networking Use for protocol bridging, buffering, and control logic in cost-sensitive communications equipment that benefit from embedded RAM and plentiful I/O.
• Embedded SOPC Integration Implement on-chip megafunctions and custom peripherals to consolidate multiple board-level functions into a single programmable device.
• PCI-Based Peripherals Suitable for 3.3‑V PCI peripherals and related interface logic where the ACEX 1K family’s PCI compliance options and I/O flexibility are useful.
• High-Volume Consumer and Commercial Devices A cost-optimized programmable logic option for designs that require moderate logic density, embedded memory, and a high pin count in a compact BGA package.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated solution: Combines 2,880 logic elements and approximately 40,960 bits of embedded RAM to reduce external component count and simplify system design.
• Flexible I/O interfacing: MultiVolt I/O and per-pin features (tri-state enable, open-drain, programmable slew) enable direct interfacing to a variety of external device voltages.
• Robust configuration and test: JTAG boundary-scan and in-circuit reconfigurability support production testing and field reprogramming without consuming device logic.
• Clock and arithmetic optimizations: Dedicated carry and cascade chains plus low-skew clock trees help implement fast adders, counters, and high-fan-in logic efficiently.
• Compact, manufacturable package: 484‑BBGA surface-mount package provides a high I/O count in a compact footprint suitable for automated high-volume assembly.
• RoHS compliant: Meets RoHS requirements for lead-free manufacturing and regulatory compliance in commercial products.
