EP1K50FC484-3N

The EP1K50FC484-3N is an Intel ACEX-1K family programmable logic device designed for system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) integration. It combines a high-density logic array with embedded memory and flexible I/O to address cost-efficient communications, control and integration tasks in commercial designs.

As part of the ACEX-1K family, this device provides embedded array blocks (EABs), dual-port memory capability, and MultiVolt I/O support to simplify interfacing and on-chip megafunction implementation.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 2,880 logic elements delivering up to 199,000 maximum system gates for medium-density programmable logic implementations.
• Embedded Memory — Total RAM bits: 40,960 with multiple embedded array blocks (EABs) supporting dual-port operation for efficient on-chip data storage and megafunctions.
• I/O Flexibility — Up to 249 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O capability to drive or interface with 2.5-V, 3.3-V, or 5.0-V devices.
• Package & Mounting — 484-BBGA package (supplier package: 484-FBGA, 23×23) in a surface-mount form factor suited for compact board designs.
• Power — Operates with an internal 2.5-V supply; device voltage supply range is 2.375 V to 2.625 V.
• Temperature & Grade — Commercial grade device with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Configuration & Test — In-circuit reconfigurability via external configuration devices, intelligent controller, or JTAG; built-in JTAG boundary-scan test (IEEE 1149.1-1990).
• Clocking & Timing — Built-in low-skew clock distribution with options such as ClockLock™ and ClockBoost™ for reduced clock delay and skew; up to six global clock signals supported.
• Routing & Arithmetic Support — FastTrack® interconnect for predictable routing delays plus dedicated carry and cascade chains for high-speed arithmetic and high-fan-in logic.
• Compliance & Environmental — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Communications Interfaces — Implement protocol bridging, bus interfaces or packet processing functions using the device’s logic capacity and flexible I/O.
• SOPC Integration — Consolidate controller, glue logic, and on-chip memory into a single device to reduce BOM and simplify system architecture.
• Embedded Memory Functions — Use dual-port EABs for fifo, buffering, or small on-chip data stores in embedded systems and peripheral controllers.
• Board-Level Prototyping and Control — Rapidly iterate control logic, interface timing, and glue logic in commercial-temperature-range designs.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory — Combines 2,880 logic elements with 40,960 bits of embedded RAM to implement both control logic and on-chip data storage without external memory for many applications.
• Flexible I/O Interfacing — MultiVolt I/O support and 249 available I/O pins enable direct interfacing to a wide range of peripheral voltages and devices.
• Compact, Surface-Mount Package — 484-BBGA (23×23) packaging delivers high pin count in a compact footprint suitable for dense PCB layouts.
• Design and Test Support — JTAG boundary-scan and in-circuit reconfigurability simplify board test, field updates, and development cycles.
• Deterministic Routing and Fast Arithmetic — FastTrack® interconnect plus dedicated carry and cascade chains improve timing predictability and accelerate arithmetic implementations.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets environmental compliance requirements for lead-free assembly processes.
