EPF10K10AFC256-3

The EPF10K10AFC256-3 is a FLEX-10KA family Field Programmable Gate Array from Altera, offered in a 256-ball BGA package. It provides a compact, surface-mount FPGA option with on-chip memory, a moderate logic element count and a broad set of I/O suitable for commercial embedded designs.

Key Features

• Core Logic  72 CLBs and 576 logic elements provide the programmable fabric for implementing custom digital functions and glue logic.
• Embedded Memory  6,144 bits of on-chip RAM for small buffers, state storage and local data handling within the FPGA.
• I/O Capacity  150 I/O pins support a variety of board-level interfaces and parallel/serial connections to external devices.
• Gate Count  Approximately 31,000 gates of equivalent logic capacity for mid-density logic integration.
• Power  Device operates from a 3 V to 3.6 V supply range to match common commercial power rails.
• Package & Mounting  256-FBGA (17×17) package, surface-mount mounting for compact PCB layouts and reliable solder attach.
• Operating Range & Grade  Commercial grade device rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operation, suitable for standard-temperature embedded applications.
• Environmental Compliance  RoHS compliant to support lead-free assembly processes.

Typical Applications

• Commercial Embedded Systems  Fits board-level programmable logic needs where a commercial temperature range and a moderate logic and I/O budget are required.
• Prototyping and Development  Useful for developing and validating custom digital functions before committing to fixed silicon or larger FPGAs.
• Interface and Glue Logic  150 I/O pins and on-chip RAM make the device suitable for consolidating interface translation, protocol bridging and timing control on a single FPGA.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and I/O Mix  Combines 576 logic elements with 150 I/O pins to support moderate-complexity designs that require significant external connectivity.
• Compact BGA Footprint  The 256-FBGA (17×17) package reduces PCB area compared with larger packages while enabling robust surface-mount assembly.
• On-chip Memory  6,144 bits of embedded RAM enable local buffering and state storage without additional external memory components.
• Standard Commercial Rating  Rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operation and commercial grade use, matching typical production environments for consumer and business equipment.
• RoHS Compliant  Supports lead-free manufacturing flows and environmental compliance requirements.
• Voltage Compatibility  3 V to 3.6 V supply range aligns with widely used commercial power rails for simplified power-system design.
