EPF10K100ARC240-2

The EPF10K100ARC240-2 is a FLEX‑10KA family field programmable gate array (FPGA) offering embedded programmable logic intended for system-level integration. It combines an embedded array for implementing megafunctions with a general-purpose logic array to deliver flexible on‑chip functionality.

With 4,992 logic elements, 24,576 bits of on‑chip RAM, and 189 user I/O pins in a 240‑BFQFP exposed‑pad package, this commercial‑grade device targets designs that require moderate logic density, substantial embedded memory, and a high pin count while operating from a 3.0 V to 3.6 V supply.

Key Features

• Core architecture Embedded programmable logic device architecture combining an embedded array for megafunctions (efficient memory and specialized logic) with a separate logic array for general logic functions.
• Logic capacity 4,992 logic elements and 158,000 gates (specified) provide medium-density programmable logic for a wide range of designs.
• Embedded memory 24,576 total RAM bits of on‑chip memory to implement buffers, FIFOs, or other memory‑centric megafunctions without consuming general logic resources.
• I/O capability 189 user I/O pins offering high pin count for parallel interfaces and board-level integration; FLEX 10KA family supports MultiVolt I/O and 5.0‑V tolerant input pins.
• Configuration and test In‑circuit reconfigurability options and built‑in JTAG boundary‑scan (IEEE 1149.1) for device programming and board‑level test without consuming user logic.
• Clock and routing features Dedicated carry and cascade chains and family options such as ClockLock and ClockBoost (series features) for predictable interconnect and clock management.
• Package and mounting Surface‑mount 240‑BFQFP exposed pad package (supplier package 240‑RQFP, 32×32) for placement on compact PCBs while providing thermal benefit via the exposed pad.
• Power and environmental Operates from a 3.0 V to 3.6 V supply and specified for commercial temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C; RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• System‑on‑a‑Programmable‑Chip (SOPC) Integration — Use the embedded arrays and logic fabric to consolidate memory, interface logic, and custom functions into a single programmable device for tighter system integration.
• Memory‑centric Functions — On‑chip RAM is suitable for implementing buffers, FIFOs, and other megafunctions that reduce external memory requirements and simplify board design.
• PCI and Peripheral Interfaces — FLEX 10K/10KA family support for PCI and dedicated I/O flexibility make this device appropriate for bridging, protocol handling, and high‑pin peripheral interfacing.
• Prototyping and Feature Integration — Medium‑density logic and substantial I/O count support rapid iteration and consolidation of multiple discrete functions during development and early production.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced logic and memory in one device: 4,992 logic elements combined with 24,576 bits of embedded RAM reduce the need for external logic and memory ICs.
• High I/O count for flexible system integration: 189 user I/Os enable parallel interfaces and board‑level consolidation without multiplexing compromises.
• Family features for predictable timing: Dedicated carry/cascade chains and clock options (ClockLock/ClockBoost) support efficient arithmetic and low‑skew clocking in design flows.
• Built‑in programming and testability: In‑circuit reconfigurability and IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary‑scan simplify programming, validation, and board test.
• Compact, manufacturable package: 240‑BFQFP exposed pad surface mount package provides a balance of pin count and board footprint with improved thermal contact via the exposed pad.
• Commercial readiness and compliance: Commercial temperature grading (0 °C to 70 °C) and RoHS compliance suit mainstream electronics production and regulatory requirements.
