EPF10K30AQC208-3N

The EPF10K30AQC208-3N is a FLEX-10KA family field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Intel (Altera) in a 208-BFQFP surface-mount package. It provides a mid-density programmable logic fabric combining logic array blocks and embedded memory for implementing custom digital functions and system-level megafunctions.

With 1,728 logic elements across 216 logic array blocks, approximately 12,288 bits of embedded RAM, and 147 user I/O pins, this commercial-grade device targets embedded and interface-centric designs that require on-chip memory, flexible I/O, and in-circuit reconfigurability within a 3.0 V to 3.6 V supply and 0 °C to 70 °C operating range.

Key Features

• Core logic density — 1,728 logic elements implemented across 216 logic array blocks, representing a device with approximately 69,000 gates for mid-density programmable logic.
• Embedded memory — Total RAM bits: 12,288, enabling on-chip buffering, small tables, and megafunction implementation without external memory.
• I/O capacity and flexibility — 147 user I/O pins provide ample connectivity for multi-interface designs; family features include programmable output slew-rate control, individual tri-state control, and open-drain options for flexible signaling.
• Configuration and test — Supports in-circuit reconfigurability via external configuration device or JTAG port; built-in JTAG boundary-scan test (BST) circuitry is available without consuming user logic (family-level feature).
• Power and supply — Operates from a 3.0 V to 3.6 V supply, allowing integration into 3.3 V system environments.
• Package and mounting — 208-BFQFP (supplier device package: 208-PQFP, 28×28) surface-mount package for compact PCB integration.
• Commercial grade and environmental compliance — Commercial temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C and RoHS compliant.
• Family-level system features — FLEX 10K family supports System-on-a-Programmable-Chip (SOPC) integration, dedicated carry and cascade chains, low-skew clock distribution, and software design support from Altera development systems (family-level features).

Typical Applications

• Embedded control and logic — Implement custom control logic, state machines, and glue logic where on-chip RAM and moderate logic density reduce external components.
• Interface bridging — Use the 147 I/O pins to consolidate multiple interfaces or translate between subsystems in communication or instrumentation equipment.
• On-board buffering and small memory functions — Leverage the 12,288 bits of embedded RAM for FIFO buffers, lookup tables, and temporary data storage without adding external memory.
• Prototyping and evaluation — Suitable for validating mid-density FPGA designs and developing megafunctions within the FLEX 10K family ecosystem.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced mid-range capacity: 1,728 logic elements and ~69,000 gates deliver the right balance of density for many embedded and interface designs without the overhead of higher-density devices.
• On-chip memory for megafunctions: 12,288 bits of embedded RAM support implementing memory-intensive functions and reduce external BOM complexity.
• High connectorization potential: 147 user I/O pins enable multi-signal designs and reduce the need for external interface ICs.
• Compact surface-mount package: 208-BFQFP (28×28 PQFP footprint) provides a compact solution for board-space constrained layouts while remaining surface-mount compatible.
• Design and test support: Family-level JTAG boundary-scan and Altera development system support aid in configuration, verification, and automated place-and-route flows.
• RoHS compliant, commercial temperature: Meets environmental compliance requirements for commercial applications operating between 0 °C and 70 °C.
