EPF10K20TC144-3

The EPF10K20TC144-3 is a FLEX 10K family embedded programmable logic device from Intel. It combines a dedicated logic array and embedded memory to deliver a reconfigurable platform for system-level integration in commercial embedded designs.

With 1,152 logic elements, approximately 12,288 bits of embedded RAM, and 102 user I/O pins in a 144-pin LQFP surface-mount package, this device targets system-on-a-programmable-chip integration, glue-logic consolidation, and memory- or interface-heavy programmable functions where a 5.0 V supply and commercial temperature range are required.

Key Features

• Core Logic 1,152 logic elements and 144 logic array blocks (LABs) provide configurable logic resources for combinational and sequential functions.
• Gate Capacity Up to 63,000 system gates as indicated for this device class, enabling medium-density programmable implementations.
• Embedded Memory Approximately 12,288 bits of on-chip RAM distributed across embedded array blocks to support buffering, FIFOs, and small on-chip data storage.
• I/O and Interface 102 user I/O pins available for parallel interfaces, control signals, and peripheral connections; I/O features described for the FLEX 10K family include programmable output slew-rate, individual tri-state control, and open-drain options.
• Configurability and Test In-circuit reconfigurability via external configuration device or JTAG; built-in IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan circuitry enables board-level test without consuming device logic.
• Clock and Performance Options Family features include low-skew clock distribution trees and optional ClockLock/ClockBoost features for reduced clock delay/skew and clock multiplication.
• Power and Supply Designed for a 5.0 V supply range (4.75 V to 5.25 V) to support legacy and 5 V-based systems.
• Package & Mounting 144-LQFP surface-mount package (supplier package: 144-TQFP, 20×20) for straightforward PCB assembly and moderate board density.
• Commercial Temperature & Compliance Commercial operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C and RoHS compliant per supplied product data.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Control and SOPC Integration Use for system-on-a-programmable-chip designs that require integrated programmable logic and embedded memory for control and peripheral management.
• Interface Bridging and Glue Logic Consolidate multiple discrete interface components by implementing custom protocol bridging, bus interfacing, and timing adaptation.
• On-Board Memory and Buffering Implement small FIFOs, buffers, and temporary data storage using the device’s embedded RAM to reduce external memory needs.
• Prototyping and Functional Validation Medium-density logic resource set and JTAG support make this device suitable for prototype systems, functional validation, and development platforms.

Unique Advantages

• Medium-density integration: 1,152 logic elements and up to 63,000 system gates enable consolidation of glue logic and control functions into a single device, reducing BOM and board complexity.
• Embedded memory for compact designs: Approximately 12,288 bits of on-chip RAM support buffering and local data storage without adding external components.
• Flexible I/O in a compact package: 102 user I/O pins in a 144-LQFP surface-mount package provide a balance of I/O count and board-space efficiency for commercial designs.
• Configurable and testable: In-circuit reconfigurability and built-in JTAG boundary-scan simplify firmware updates and board-level testing, accelerating development and maintenance.
• 5 V system compatibility: Operates from 4.75 V to 5.25 V, making it suitable for legacy 5 V platforms and mixed-voltage environments that require a 5 V supply.
• Commercial-grade reliability: Rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operation and RoHS compliant, aligning with standard commercial embedded product requirements.
