EP1K50TC144-1N

The EP1K50TC144-1N is an ACEX 1K family programmable logic device (PLD) in a 144-pin LQFP surface-mount package. It combines a mid-density logic array with embedded memory blocks and flexible I/O to support system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) integration for commercial applications.

Designed for cost-efficient integration, the device targets communications and general-purpose commercial designs that require moderate logic capacity, on-chip RAM, and versatile interface options while operating in a standard commercial temperature range.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 2,880 logic elements providing approximately 199,000 system gates for mid-density logic integration.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 40,960 bits of total on-chip RAM implemented across embedded array blocks (EABs).
• Embedded Array Blocks (EABs) — ACEX 1K family architecture includes dedicated EABs enabling dual-port memory implementations and specialized logic megafunctions.
• I/O Density & Flexibility — 102 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O capability that can interface with 2.5-V, 3.3-V, or 5.0-V devices (series-level feature).
• Clock & Arithmetic Support — Built-in low-skew clock distribution, dedicated carry and cascade chains, and up to six global clock signals to support high-fan-in and fast arithmetic functions (series-level features).
• Configuration & Test — In-circuit reconfigurability (ICR) options and JTAG boundary-scan (IEEE Std. 1149.1) support for programming and board-level test.
• Package & Mounting — 144-LQFP (supplier package 144-TQFP, 20×20 mm) surface-mount package suitable for compact PCB designs.
• Electrical & Environmental — Operating supply range 2.375 V to 2.625 V (2.5-V internal supply) and commercial operating temperature 0 °C to 70 °C. RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Communications Interfaces — Mid-density packet processing, protocol bridging, or peripheral interfaces that benefit from on-chip memory and flexible I/O.
• SOPC Integration — System-on-a-programmable-chip implementations where embedded RAM and logic elements are used to integrate control and datapath functions on a single device.
• PCI-Compatible Peripherals — Series-level support for PCI Local Bus Specification operation (3.3-V operation at standard speeds) for peripheral or add-on card logic.
• Embedded Control — Commercial embedded controllers and moderate-complexity state machines leveraging in-circuit reconfigurability and built-in clock resources.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Mid-Density Integration: 2,880 logic elements and ~199,000 gates deliver a practical balance of logic and routing for many commercial designs without over-provisioning.
• Significant On-Chip RAM: Approximately 40,960 bits of embedded RAM across EABs reduce external memory needs for buffers, FIFOs, and small look-up tables.
• MultiVolt I/O Flexibility: I/O that supports multiple voltage domains simplifies interfacing to a range of peripheral devices and legacy logic levels (series-level capability).
• Programmability and Testability: In-circuit reconfigurability and IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan provide streamlined development, deployment, and board-level test flows.
• Compact, Surface-Mount Package: 144-LQFP surface-mount package offers a compact footprint for space-constrained PCBs while maintaining moderate I/O availability.
• Toolchain and Migration Support: ACEX 1K family design support enables common design flows and package pin compatibility options across the series for board-level migration.
