EPF10K30AQI240-3

The EPF10K30AQI240-3 is an Intel FLEX-10KA family field programmable gate array (FPGA) offering embedded programmable logic for system-level integration. It combines a logic array and embedded memory resources to implement custom logic, interface glue, and megafunctions for industrial applications.

This device provides a balanced mix of logic and on-chip RAM with 1,728 logic elements, 216 LABs, 12,288 bits of embedded RAM and up to 189 user I/O pins. It is supplied in a 240-pin BFQFP surface-mount package and rated for industrial temperature operation.

Key Features

• Core Logic 1,728 logic elements and 216 LABs deliver approximately 69,000 gates of usable logic for implementing combinational and sequential functions.
• Embedded Memory 12,288 total RAM bits suitable for on-chip data buffering, small FIFOs, and state storage for control logic and megafunctions.
• I/O and Interfaces Up to 189 user I/O pins with per-pin control options typical of the FLEX 10K family, enabling flexible interfacing to external peripherals and buses.
• Configurable Power Designed for operation from 3.0 V to 3.6 V, supporting common 3.3 V system rails.
• System and Test Built-in JTAG boundary-scan circuitry (IEEE Std. 1149.1) and support for in-circuit reconfigurability facilitate board-level test and field updates without consuming user logic.
• Clocking and Timing Family features include low-skew clock distribution and options such as ClockLock™/ClockBoost™ for controlled clock behavior and reduced skew where required.
• Package & Mounting 240-BFQFP / 240-PQFP (32×32) surface-mount package balances pin count and board area for medium-density FPGA deployments.
• Industrial Reliability Specified operating temperature range of −40 °C to 85 °C and RoHS compliance for industrial-grade applications.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control Implement control logic, sensor interfacing, and custom timing functions for PLCs, motor controllers, and factory automation where industrial temperature operation is required.
• Embedded Systems Use on-chip RAM and logic to build system-on-programmable-chip (SOPC) components such as protocol handlers, custom peripherals, and glue logic for embedded products.
• Interface & Protocol Bridging Leverage flexible I/O and dedicated routing to create interface translators, bus bridges, and glue logic between legacy and modern peripherals.
• In-field Reconfigurable Designs Support in-circuit reconfiguration for field-upgradeable logic, allowing iterative feature updates without board replacements.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic-to-Memory Ratio: 1,728 logic elements paired with 12,288 bits of embedded RAM provide the capacity to implement both control-oriented logic and on-chip data storage without external memory in many designs.
• High I/O Count in a Compact Package: 189 user I/Os in a 240-pin BFQFP package give board designers flexibility to connect multiple peripherals while conserving board area.
• Industrial Temperature Rating: Specified −40 °C to 85 °C operation supports deployment in harsh or temperature-variable environments common to industrial applications.
• Test and Field Update Support: Built-in JTAG boundary-scan and in-circuit reconfigurability simplify manufacturing test, debugging, and field firmware updates.
• Vendor Ecosystem: Part of the FLEX 10K family, enabling reuse of family-level design approaches and megafunctions to accelerate development.
