EPF10K10TC144-4

The EPF10K10TC144-4 is a FLEX-10K family field programmable gate array (FPGA) provided by Intel. It combines a logic array and embedded memory resources to implement glue logic, custom peripherals, and on-chip megafunctions for system-on-programmable-chip integration.

With 576 logic elements, 6,144 bits of embedded RAM and up to 102 user I/O in the 144‑LQFP package, this surface-mount device targets commercial embedded designs that need reconfigurable logic, moderate memory, and flexible I/O in a compact package.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  576 logic elements and 72 logic array blocks (LABs) provide the programmable fabric for implementing custom logic and control functions.
• Embedded Memory  6,144 total RAM bits of on-chip embedded memory for implementing small FIFOs, buffers, and state storage without external RAM.
• I/O  102 available user I/O pins in the 144‑LQFP package to support parallel interfaces, sensor buses, and peripheral connections.
• Gate Count  Maximum system gate equivalence of 31,000, enabling integration of moderate-complexity digital functions into a single device.
• Power and Temperature  Designed for a 5.0-V supply operation with a specified supply range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V and commercial operating temperature from 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Package & Mounting  144‑lead low‑profile quad flat package (144‑LQFP / 144‑TQFP 20×20) for surface-mount PCB assembly and compact board layouts.
• In-system Configuration & Test  Series-level features include in-circuit reconfigurability and IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan support for device configuration and board-level test without consuming device logic.
• Series Architecture Enhancements  Family features include dedicated carry and cascade chains, flexible interconnect structure, and built-in low-skew clock distribution to simplify arithmetic functions and improve timing predictability.
• Development Ecosystem  Supported by Altera development systems for automatic place-and-route and design entry, enabling a streamlined design flow for Windows and supported workstation environments.
• RoHS Compliant  Device is RoHS compliant for lead-free assembly processes.

Typical Applications

• Interface Bridging  Use the EPF10K10TC144-4 to implement protocol translation and parallel-to-serial bridging where moderate I/O and on-chip memory are required.
• Embedded Control  Ideal for control and glue-logic functions in commercial embedded systems, providing reprogrammable logic for evolving firmware and feature updates.
• Peripheral Integration  Integrate custom peripherals, data buffering and small on-chip state machines to reduce external component count and board complexity.
• Prototyping and Evaluation  Compact package and familiar development tool support make this device suitable for early-stage prototyping of custom digital logic before scaling to higher-density devices.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory  A combination of 576 logic elements and 6,144 bits of embedded RAM lets designers implement both control logic and small data structures on-chip.
• Compact, Surface‑Mount Package  144‑LQFP footprint provides a high pin count in a board-friendly package for space-constrained commercial products.
• Reconfigurable Design  In-circuit reconfigurability and JTAG support allow field updates and streamlined production test without consuming additional logic resources.
• Predictable Arithmetic Building Blocks  Dedicated carry and cascade chains simplify implementation of adders, counters, and high-fan-in logic, reducing design effort and routing overhead.
• Streamlined Design Flow  Compatibility with the family’s development systems enables automated place-and-route and megafunction support to accelerate design cycles.

Why Choose EPF10K10TC144-4?
