EPF10K100ARC240-1

The EPF10K100ARC240-1 is a FLEX-10KA family field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Intel. It combines a mid-range programmable logic capacity with embedded memory and flexible I/O in a 240-pin BFQFP surface-mount package.

Designed for embedded-system integration and complex logic functions, this commercial-grade FPGA provides on-chip resources appropriate for applications that need integrated logic, embedded RAM, and a dense I/O footprint within a 0 °C to 70 °C operating range.

Key Features

• Programmable logic capacity — 4,992 logic elements (LEs) and approximately 158,000 gates for implementing medium-complexity logic and combinational/sequential functions.
• Embedded memory — Total on-chip RAM of 24,576 bits to support buffering, look-up tables, and megafunction implementations.
• I/O resources — 189 user I/O pins to connect peripherals, sensors, and external subsystems.
• Voltage supply — Operates from 3 V to 3.6 V, matching common 3.3 V embedded system power domains.
• Package and mounting — 240-BFQFP with exposed pad, supplied as a 240-RQFP (32×32) surface-mount package for PCB assembly and thermal conduction.
• Temperature and grade — Commercial grade device with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Board-level compliance — RoHS-compliant component.
• FLEX 10KA family capabilities (from datasheet) — Family-level features include System-on-a-Programmable-Chip (SOPC) integration, in-circuit reconfigurability (ICR) and JTAG boundary-scan test circuitry, FastTrack interconnect, dedicated carry and cascade chains, and clock management options such as ClockLock and ClockBoost.

Typical Applications

• Embedded systems and SOPC integration — On-chip logic and embedded RAM enable consolidation of control, glue logic, and memory-intensive functions into a single programmable device.
• Interface bridging and I/O expansion — 189 I/O pins make the device suitable for implementing protocol adapters, bus bridges, and peripheral interfaces.
• Data buffering and packet processing — The 24,576 bits of embedded memory support temporary storage, FIFO buffering, and small on-chip data structures used in communication and data-path designs.
• Prototyping and evaluation — The combination of substantial logic elements and family-level configuration features supports proof-of-concept designs and iterative development.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced logic and memory — 4,992 logic elements combined with 24,576 bits of RAM provide a useful balance for designs that need both combinational/sequential logic and embedded storage without external memory.
• High I/O density — 189 I/O pins support complex peripheral connectivity and reduce the need for external I/O expanders.
• Standard 3.3 V domain compatibility — 3 V to 3.6 V supply range aligns with common 3.3 V system architectures for straightforward power integration.
• Surface-mount BFQFP with exposed pad — The 240-pin exposed-pad package supports board-level assembly and thermal management in compact layouts.
• Family-level system features — FLEX-10KA series capabilities such as in-circuit reconfigurability and JTAG boundary-scan help simplify development, testing, and field update strategies.
• Regulatory and supply readiness — RoHS compliance supports deployment in assemblies requiring lead-free components.
