EP1K50QC208-3AA

The EP1K50QC208-3AA is an ACEX-1K family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designed for mid-density, cost-sensitive system integration. The device combines 2,880 logic elements with approximately 40,960 bits of embedded RAM to implement on-chip memory and specialized logic functions within a single programmable device.

Targeted at system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) and communications-oriented designs, this commercial-grade FPGA delivers flexible I/O, in-circuit reconfigurability, and packaging options suitable for surface-mount assembly.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 2,880 logic elements providing up to 199,000 system gates for mid-range logic integration and glue-logic consolidation.
• On‑Chip Memory — Approximately 40,960 bits of embedded RAM (EABs) with dual-port capability for efficient implementation of buffers, FIFOs, and small data stores.
• I/O and Voltage Support — 147 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O capability described by the ACEX-1K family; device-level supply range is 2.375 V to 2.625 V and the device operates with a 2.5‑V internal supply.
• Clocking and Performance — Built-in low-skew clock distribution and options such as ClockLock and ClockBoost (family features) to reduce clock delay and skew in synchronous designs.
• Configuration and Test — In-circuit reconfigurability (ICR) via external configuration devices, intelligent controllers, or the JTAG port; includes IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan test support.
• Package and Mounting — 208-BFQFP package case; supplier device package listed as 208‑PQFP (28×28); surface-mount mounting type for compact PCB layouts.
• Environmental and Reliability — Commercial grade with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C and RoHS-compliant materials.

Typical Applications

• Communications Interfaces — Implement protocol bridging, packet buffering, and timing-critical data paths using embedded RAM and dedicated carry/cascade resources.
• SOPC and Embedded Control — Integrate custom logic, peripheral glue, and small memories to consolidate multiple discrete components into a single programmable device.
• Peripheral and Bus Glue Logic — Use the device’s moderate logic density and flexible I/O to interface between controllers, memory, and external peripherals.
• Prototyping and Low‑Volume Production — Ideal for designs that require reconfigurability during development and modest production volumes in commercial applications.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory: The combination of 2,880 logic elements and ~40,960 bits of embedded RAM enables both control logic and local data storage without external SRAM for many mid-range designs.
• Flexible I/O and Voltage Compatibility: MultiVolt I/O family features and 147 user I/Os simplify interfacing to a variety of peripheral voltage domains while using a standard 2.5‑V internal supply.
• In-Circuit Reconfigurability: Support for ICR and JTAG boundary-scan streamlines iterative development and field updates without board-level hardware changes.
• Surface-Mount Packaging: 208-pin PQFP/BFQFP packaging supports compact PCB layouts and established assembly processes.
• Testability and Standards Support: Built-in JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) boundary-scan and family-level compliance notes (e.g., PCI compatibility options in the family datasheet) aid verification and integration in standard systems.
• RoHS Compliant: Materials and manufacturing meet RoHS requirements for current commercial designs.
