EPF10K30BC356-3

The EPF10K30BC356-3 is a FLEX-10K family field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Intel designed for system-level programmable logic integration. It combines a dedicated logic array and embedded memory resources to support megafunctions and general-purpose logic in a single, reconfigurable device.

With 1,728 logic elements, 12,288 bits of embedded RAM, 246 user I/O pins and support for 5.0 V supply operation, this device targets commercial embedded applications that require mid-range density, flexible I/O, and in-circuit reconfigurability.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 1,728 logic elements and up to 69,000 gates (maximum system gates reported), enabling mid-density logic integration for control, glue logic and custom datapaths.
• Embedded Memory — 12,288 total RAM bits (approximately 0.012 Mbits) to implement FIFOs, small buffers and memory-based megafunctions without external RAM.
• I/O and Interfaces — 246 user I/O pins for flexible peripheral interfacing and system connectivity on a single device.
• Power Supply — 5.0 V device with a specified supply range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V suitable for existing 5 V system rails.
• Package and Mounting — 356-ball fine-pitch BGA (356-LBGA, 35 × 35 mm) surface-mount package for compact board integration and high pin density.
• Operating Range — Commercial temperature grade with an operating range of 0 °C to 70 °C.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS requirements for lead-free manufacturing.
• Family-Level Capabilities — FLEX 10K family features from the datasheet: embedded arrays for efficient memory and specialized logic, in-circuit reconfigurability, JTAG boundary-scan, optimized interconnect and dedicated carry/cascade chains for arithmetic and high-fan-in logic.

Typical Applications

• System Integration / SOPC — Implement system-on-a-programmable-chip functions by combining logic and embedded memory for control subsystems and glue logic.
• PCI and Peripheral Interfaces — Suitable for designs that require robust I/O counts and family-level support for PCI local bus integration as described in the FLEX 10K family documentation.
• Embedded Control and Signal Processing — Mid-density logic and on-chip RAM support custom control state machines, data buffering and modest signal processing tasks.
• In-Circuit Reconfigurable Designs — Use in designs that benefit from reconfiguration in-system via external configuration devices or JTAG boundary-scan.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced mid-range density: 1,728 logic elements and 12,288 bits of RAM provide a practical balance of logic and embedded memory for many commercial embedded designs.
• High I/O count: 246 user I/Os enable broad peripheral connectivity and flexible board-level integration without adding multiple devices.
• Compact, high-pin package: The 356-LBGA package offers high pin density in a compact footprint to maximize PCB area efficiency.
• 5 V system compatibility: Supported supply range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V aligns with 5.0 V system rails common in many legacy and commercial applications.
• Reconfigurability and testability: Family features include in-circuit reconfigurability and JTAG boundary-scan for flexible deployment and improved board-level test access.
• Standards and tool support at the family level: FLEX 10K family documentation identifies software design support and automatic place-and-route tools for development and integration.
