EPF10K20RC208-4

The EPF10K20RC208-4 is a FLEX 10K family field programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 208-BFQFP exposed-pad surface-mount package. It combines a logic array and embedded memory to support embedded programmable logic applications and system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) integration.

Designed for commercial-temperature designs, this device provides a balance of logic density, on-chip RAM, and I/O count for embedded control, interface bridging, and medium-complexity programmable logic tasks. It operates from a 4.75 V–5.25 V supply and is RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 1,152 logic elements and 144 logic array blocks (LABs), delivering the equivalent of 63,000 system gates for moderate-density logic integration.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 12,288 bits of on-chip RAM, suitable for implementing small data buffers, configuration storage, and memory-centric megafunctions.
• I/O and Pin Count — 147 user I/O pins to support multiple peripheral interfaces and board-level connectivity.
• Power Supply — Operates from a 4.75 V–5.25 V supply, enabling integration into 5.0-V system environments.
• Package & Mounting — 208-BFQFP exposed pad package (supplier device package: 208-RQFP, 28×28); surface-mount mounting for PCB assembly.
• Temperature & Grade — Commercial grade operation across 0 °C to 70 °C.
• Family System Features — As a FLEX 10K family device, it supports in-circuit reconfigurability, JTAG boundary-scan (IEEE Std. 1149.1), dedicated carry and cascade chains, and FastTrack® interconnect for predictable routing delays.
• Design Tool Support — FLEX 10K devices are supported by Altera development systems for design entry, automatic place-and-route, and megafunction integration.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Control — Implement custom control logic and glue logic for appliances, instrumentation, and consumer electronics using the device’s logic elements and on-chip RAM.
• Interface Bridging — Bridge legacy 5.0-V interfaces to modern peripherals with the device’s 5.0-V supply operation and abundant I/O.
• Prototyping & Development — Rapid prototyping of medium-complexity digital designs where in-circuit reconfigurability and JTAG access accelerate development cycles.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory Density: 1,152 logic elements paired with about 12,288 bits of embedded RAM lets you implement both combinational and small-state designs on a single device.
• 5 V Supply Compatibility: Native 4.75 V–5.25 V operation simplifies integration into legacy and 5.0-V systems without additional level-shifting for core supply.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package: 208-BFQFP exposed-pad package provides thermal anchoring and a board-friendly surface-mount footprint for compact designs.
• On-board Reconfiguration and Test: Supports in-circuit reconfigurability and JTAG boundary-scan for easy maintenance, firmware updates, and manufacturing test.
• Predictable Routing and Arithmetic Support: FastTrack interconnect, dedicated carry and cascade chains help reduce routing delay variability and simplify implementation of adders, counters, and wide logic functions.
• Commercial Temperature Rating: 0 °C to 70 °C operation for mainstream embedded and consumer applications.
