EPF10K20RC240-4

The EPF10K20RC240-4 is a FLEX 10K family field programmable gate array (embedded programmable logic device) designed for mid-range logic integration and system-level functionality. It combines 1,152 logic elements, 12,288 bits of embedded RAM, and up to 189 user I/O pins to address applications that require moderate logic density, on-chip memory and abundant I/O connectivity.

Built for commercial-grade applications with a 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply and an operating range of 0 °C to 70 °C, this surface-mount device in a 240-pin BFQFP package with exposed pad offers reconfigurable logic and embedded array resources for custom logic, interface bridging, and system integration tasks.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 1,152 logic elements (LEs) and 144 logic array blocks (LABs) provide the programmable logic resources to implement custom combinational and sequential functions.
• On-chip Memory — Approximately 12,288 bits of embedded RAM distributed across 6 embedded array blocks (EABs), enabling efficient implementation of buffers, FIFOs and small data stores without reducing logic capacity.
• Gate Equivalence — Up to 63,000 maximum system gates for estimating integration level when combining logic and RAM.
• I/O Density — 189 user I/O pins for extensive external interfacing and parallel connectivity in I/O-rich designs.
• Power and Supply — Designed for a 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply range suited to 5.0-V systems.
• Configuration and Test — Supports in-circuit reconfigurability via external configuration device, intelligent controller, or JTAG port; includes JTAG boundary-scan test (IEEE Std. 1149.1) without consuming device logic.
• Interconnect and Arithmetic Support — Family-level features include dedicated carry and cascade chains and a FastTrack continuous routing interconnect structure for predictable routing behavior and high-fan-in arithmetic implementations.
• Package and Mounting — Surface-mount 240-BFQFP with exposed pad (supplier package 240-RQFP 32×32) for PCB assembly and thermal path to the board.
• Commercial Grade and Environmental — Commercial operating grade with a specified temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C and RoHS-compliant material status.

Typical Applications

• System Integration / SOPC — Use the embedded array blocks and logic elements to implement megafunctions and combine multiple system functions on a single programmable device.
• Interface Bridge and Protocol Glue — High I/O count and reconfigurability make the device well suited for protocol conversion, bus interfacing and glue logic between subsystems.
• Embedded Memory and Buffering — On-chip RAM resources support buffering, FIFOs and small data storage for peripherals and data-path designs.
• Prototyping and Custom Logic — The combination of logic elements and reconfiguration options enables rapid prototyping of custom digital logic and iterative design cycles.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory — 1,152 logic elements paired with 12,288 bits of embedded RAM let you implement control logic and local data storage without external memory in many designs.
• Rich External Connectivity — 189 user I/O pins support multiple parallel interfaces, sensors, and peripheral connections, reducing the need for external I/O expanders.
• Reconfigurable Testability — JTAG boundary-scan and in-circuit reconfiguration simplify board-level testing and firmware updates without using user logic resources.
• Predictable Integration Planning — Published gate equivalence (up to 63,000 system gates) and LAB/LE counts provide clear metrics for capacity planning and migration within the FLEX 10K family.
• PCB-Friendly Package — 240-pin BFQFP with exposed pad supports standard surface-mount assembly and provides a thermal path for moderate power dissipation.
