EP1K50QC208-3N

The EP1K50QC208-3N is an ACEX 1K family programmable logic device that combines a logic array with embedded array blocks (EABs) for system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) integration. Designed for cost-efficient, high-volume applications, it targets communications and embedded system designs that require on-chip memory, reconfigurable logic, and flexible I/O.

This device provides a balance of logic resources and embedded RAM to implement megafunctions, dual-port memory structures, and general-purpose logic within a single surface-mount 208-BFQFP package. It is supplied in a commercial temperature grade and is RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 2,880 logic elements and up to 199,000 maximum system gates provide the core programmable resources for combinational and sequential logic.
• Embedded Memory (EABs) — Includes EABs and approximately 40,960 bits of on-chip RAM for implementing dual-port memories and other megafunctions.
• I/O and Packaging — 147 user I/O pins in a 208-BFQFP (28×28) surface-mount package, offering a compact footprint for board-level designs.
• Power and Supply — Operates with a 2.5‑V internal supply and a documented device supply range of 2.375 V to 2.625 V for VCCIO.
• Temperature and Grade — Commercial grade operation with an ambient temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Configuration and Test — In-circuit reconfigurability via external configuration devices or JTAG; built-in JTAG boundary-scan test (BST) compliant with IEEE 1149.1.
• System Features — FastTrack interconnect, dedicated carry and cascade chains, and options for reduced clock delay and skew (ClockLock/ClockBoost) to support arithmetic and high-fan-in logic functions.
• Standards and Interoperability — MultiVolt I/O capability as documented for the ACEX 1K family and 100% functional device testing at manufacture.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Communications Equipment — Implement protocol processing, packet buffering, and interface glue logic where embedded RAM and reconfigurable logic reduce external component count.
• System-on-a-Programmable-Chip (SOPC) — Integrate memory-mapped peripherals, custom accelerators, and control logic into a single device for compact board designs.
• High-Volume Consumer and Commercial Electronics — Cost-focused designs that benefit from on-chip memory, reprogrammability, and a compact 208-PQFP package.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory: 2,880 logic elements combined with roughly 40,960 bits of embedded RAM let you implement both control logic and on-chip storage without extensive external memory.
• Compact, Surface-Mount Package: The 208-BFQFP (28×28) package delivers a small board footprint while providing 147 user I/Os for peripheral and bus connections.
• Reconfigurability and Testability: In-circuit reconfigurability and IEEE-1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan support simplify development, field updates, and manufacturing test.
• Deterministic Interconnect and Arithmetic Support: FastTrack routing plus dedicated carry and cascade chains accelerate implementation of adders, counters, and high-fan-in logic functions.
• Commercial Temperature and RoHS Compliance: Commercial-grade temperature range (0 °C to 70 °C) and RoHS compliance align the device to mainstream electronic product requirements.
• Proven Development Ecosystem: ACEX 1K family support in Altera development systems provides place-and-route, megafunction libraries, and standard HDL interfaces to streamline design integration.
