EP1K50TC144-3

The EP1K50TC144-3 is an ACEX-1K series field programmable gate array (FPGA) designed for commercial-grade system-on-a-programmable-chip integration. It combines 2,880 logic elements, embedded memory, and flexible I/O to address control, interface, and logic-acceleration tasks in communications and embedded designs.

This surface-mount device is supplied in a 144-LQFP package and operates from a core supply range of 2.375 V to 2.625 V with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C, making it suited to mainstream commercial embedded applications.

Key Features

• Logic Core  2,880 logic elements and a maximum system gate count of 199,000 provide a programmable fabric for implementing medium-density logic and glue functions.
• Embedded Memory  Total on-chip RAM of 40,960 bits (approximately 40.96 kbits) supports data buffering, small on-chip FIFOs, and memory-mapped megafunctions.
• I/O and Voltage  102 user I/O pins with MultiVolt capability (family-level support for driving/receiving multiple I/O voltages) and a device core supply range of 2.375 V–2.625 V.
• Package & Mounting  144-LQFP (supplier package listed as 144-TQFP 20×20) in a surface-mount form factor for compact board designs.
• Configuration and Test  In-circuit reconfigurability and JTAG boundary-scan test (IEEE 1149.1) support enable programmable updates and standard structural testability without consuming device logic.
• Clocking and Performance Options  Family-level features include low-skew clock distribution, ClockLock and ClockBoost options for reduced clock delay and skew, and up to six global clock signals for complex timing domains.
• Flexible Interconnect & Arithmetic Support  Dedicated carry and cascade chains plus a continuous routing interconnect enable efficient implementation of adders, counters, and high-fan-in logic functions.
• Compliance & Environmental  Commercial-grade device with RoHS compliance and an operating range of 0 °C to 70 °C.

Typical Applications

• Communications Interfaces  Implement protocol bridging, packet buffering, and peripheral interface logic leveraging embedded RAM and dedicated arithmetic chains.
• Embedded Control & Glue Logic  Replace or consolidate discrete control logic and state machines with programmable logic for faster time-to-market and simplified BOM.
• Memory and Buffering Functions  Use the device’s embedded RAM blocks for small dual-port buffers, FIFOs, and packet queues in data-path designs.
• Prototyping and Low-Volume Production  Ideal for developing and validating custom logic in commercial products where reprogrammability and integration are required.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, integrated FPGA solution: 2,880 logic elements and on-chip RAM reduce external components and simplify board design.
• MultiVolt I/O flexibility: I/O architecture supports interfacing with different voltage domains, easing integration with mixed-voltage systems.
• In-circuit reconfigurability and JTAG test: Field updates and standardized boundary-scan testability streamline development and manufacturing diagnostics.
• Dedicated arithmetic and cascade chains: Hardware support for adders, counters, and high-fan-in logic yields efficient implementation of common functions.
• Commercial temperature and RoHS compliance: Suitable for mainstream commercial products and environmentally compliant deployments.
