EPF10K20TC144-3N

The EPF10K20TC144-3N is a FLEX-10K family field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Intel. It combines a dedicated logic array and embedded memory resources to implement configurable logic, on-chip RAM, and system-level functions for embedded designs.

Designed as a 5.0 V device with surface-mount 144-LQFP packaging, this commercial-grade FPGA provides 1,152 logic elements across 144 logic array blocks, 12,288 total RAM bits, and 102 user I/O pins—well suited for system integration, embedded memory functions, and configurable peripheral logic within commercial temperature ranges.

Key Features

• Programmable logic – 1,152 logic elements implemented across 144 logic array blocks (LABs) and approximately 63,000 gates for configurable logic functions.
• Embedded memory – 12,288 total RAM bits of on-chip memory suitable for implementing buffers, small lookup tables, and other megafunctions.
• I/O and interfacing – 102 user I/O pins with individual tri-state control options described by the FLEX 10K family architecture.
• Supply and power – Specified for a 5.0 V supply (4.75 V to 5.25 V), matching 5.0 V system environments.
• System and configuration – Supports in-circuit reconfigurability (ICR) and built-in JTAG boundary-scan circuitry for programming and test without consuming device logic.
• Performance fabric – Family-level features include FastTrack interconnect, dedicated carry and cascade chains, and low-skew clock distribution to support common arithmetic and high-fan-in logic functions.
• Package and mounting – Surface-mount 144-LQFP package (supplier device package: 144-TQFP 20×20) for compact board implementations.
• Operational grade and environment – Commercial grade with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C and RoHS compliance.
• Design tooling support – FLEX 10K family is supported by Altera development systems offering automatic place-and-route and megafunction support as described in the family datasheet.

Typical Applications

• Embedded system integration – Use the part where on-chip configurable logic and embedded RAM are required to integrate custom peripherals and glue logic into a single programmable device.
• Memory and buffer functions – Implement small embedded buffers, FIFOs, and lookup tables using the 12,288 bits of on-chip RAM and dedicated array resources.
• Peripheral control and glue logic – Provide flexible I/O handling and protocol adaptation with the device’s programmable logic and 102 user I/Os.
• Prototyping and development – Leverage in-circuit reconfigurability and JTAG boundary-scan to iterate hardware designs and validate logic in-system.

Unique Advantages

• Configurable logic density – 1,152 logic elements and 144 LABs provide a balanced resource set for mid-range programmable logic designs without overprovisioning board space.
• Embedded RAM resources – 12,288 bits of on-chip RAM enable implementation of localized memory functions and megafunctions without external memory.
• System-level configuration and test – Built-in JTAG and support for in-circuit reconfigurability streamline programming and manufacturing test flows.
• Dedicated arithmetic support – Family-level carry and cascade chains accelerate implementation of adders, counters, and comparators in hardware.
• Compact packaging – 144-LQFP surface-mount package (20×20 TQFP footprint) simplifies board layout while providing ample I/O for many embedded applications.
• Toolchain and megafunction support – Supported by Altera development systems for automatic place-and-route and prebuilt megafunctions to reduce development time.
