EP1K50TI144-2

The EP1K50TI144-2 is an ACEX-1K family programmable logic device (FPGA) designed for mid-density system integration. It combines a logic array with embedded array blocks (EABs) to implement both general-purpose logic and efficient on-chip memory for system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) applications.

Targeted at industrial and communications-oriented designs, the device delivers a balance of logic capacity, embedded RAM, and flexible I/O capability while operating over an extended temperature range and a low-voltage internal supply.

Key Features

• Core Logic: 2,880 logic elements (LEs) providing mid-range integration for glue logic, custom peripherals, and control functions.
• Embedded Memory (EABs): Ten embedded array blocks with a total of 40,960 bits of RAM, including dual-port capability and up to 16-bit width per EAB for efficient on-chip storage and megafunction implementation.
• Gate Count: Device-level capacity up to 199,000 system gates enabling implementation of sizeable logic and system functions.
• I/O and Voltage: 102 user I/O pins with MultiVolt capability (I/O can interface with 2.5 V, 3.3 V, or 5.0 V devices) and an internal supply operating around 2.5 V (device supply range 2.375 V to 2.625 V).
• Package and Mounting: 144-pin LQFP package (supplier reference: 144-TQFP 20×20) for surface-mount board designs.
• Industrial Temperature Grade: Rated for operation from -40 °C to 85 °C for deployment in industrial environments.
• In-Circuit Reconfigurability and Test: Supports in-circuit reconfigurability via external configuration devices or JTAG; includes IEEE 1149.1-compatible boundary-scan test circuitry without consuming device logic.
• Clocking and Performance Features: Built-in low-skew clock distribution trees with ClockLock and ClockBoost options plus dedicated carry and cascade chains for arithmetic and high-fan-in logic.
• Flexible Interconnect: FastTrack continuous routing structure for predictable interconnect delays and tri-state emulation for internal bus structures.

Typical Applications

• Communications Infrastructure — Implements protocol bridging, packet processing support logic, and interface glue in networking and telecom equipment using the device's embedded RAM and dedicated arithmetic chains.
• SOPC and Custom IP Integration — Integrates megafunctions and custom peripherals, benefitting from EAB dual-port RAM and the device's reconfigurability for evolving system requirements.
• Industrial Control and Automation — Handles control logic, sensor interfacing, and deterministic I/O tasks within an industrial temperature range and low-voltage internal supply.
• Memory-intensive Logic Functions — Uses the on-chip EABs for FIFOs, lookup tables, and small embedded buffers to reduce external memory dependencies and simplify board-level design.

Unique Advantages

• Highly Integrated Mid-Density Solution: 2,880 logic elements combined with ten EABs and ~40,960 bits of embedded RAM reduce external component count and board complexity.
• Flexible I/O Voltage Support: MultiVolt I/O lets the device interface with 2.5 V, 3.3 V, or 5.0 V systems, simplifying mixed-voltage designs.
• Industrial Reliability: Rated for -40 °C to 85 °C operation, making it suitable for industrial-grade deployments.
• Reconfigurability and Testability: In-circuit reconfigurability and IEEE 1149.1-compliant JTAG boundary-scan enable field updates and board-level test without consuming user logic.
• Deterministic Clocking and Arithmetic Support: Low-skew clock trees plus dedicated carry and cascade chains accelerate arithmetic, counters, and wide combinational logic implementations.
• Predictable Routing: FastTrack interconnect structure delivers consistent routing delays for repeatable timing results across designs.
