EPF10K30EFI256-3

The EPF10K30EFI256-3 is an Intel FLEX-10KE embedded programmable logic device (FPGA) offering system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) integration for industrial applications. Built around a dedicated logic array with embedded array blocks, it targets designs that require moderate logic density, on-chip RAM and flexible I/O in a compact surface-mount 256‑BGA package.

With 1,728 logic elements, 24,576 bits of embedded RAM and 176 user I/Os, this device is suited to industrial control, interface bridging and subsystem integration where deterministic I/O, configurable logic and on-board memory are required within a 2.375 V–2.625 V supply envelope and a −40 °C to 85 °C operating range.

Key Features

• Core Logic  1,728 logic elements (LEs) and a maximum system gate count shown as 119,000, providing configurable logic capacity for mid-density FPGA designs.
• Embedded Memory  24,576 total RAM bits and embedded array block (EAB) resources to implement dual-port memories and storage-intensive megafunctions.
• I/O Capability  176 user I/O pins with MultiVolt I/O options described for the FLEX 10KE family, enabling direct interfacing with multiple supply-voltage domains.
• Packaging & Mounting  256‑BGA (256‑FBGA, 17×17) surface-mount package for high-density board integration and reliable solder attachment.
• Power and Voltage  Operates with an internal supply in the specified range of 2.375 V to 2.625 V for device core and system integration.
• Industrial Temperature Grade  Specified operating temperature from −40 °C to 85 °C suitable for industrial-class deployments.
• System-Level Features  Family-level features include in-circuit reconfigurability, JTAG boundary-scan test support, low-skew clock distribution and dedicated carry/cascade chains to accelerate arithmetic and wide-fan-in logic functions.
• Compliance & Environmental  RoHS compliant, simplifying regulatory and supply-chain considerations for lead-free manufacturing.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control  Implement custom control logic, deterministic I/O handling and local data buffering using on-chip RAM and logic elements within an industrial temperature range.
• Interface Bridging  Use the device’s flexible I/O and embedded memory to create protocol bridges, level translation and signal aggregation between subsystems.
• Embedded Subsystems  Integrate megafunctions and small on-chip memories to consolidate peripheral logic and reduce board-level BOM in embedded products.
• PCI-Compatible Designs  Leverage family-level PCI Local Bus support for 3.3‑V operation in applications that require bus interfacing or legacy PCI connectivity.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced mid-density resources: Combines 1,728 logic elements and 24,576 RAM bits to support compact logic and memory requirements without overprovisioning.
• Flexible I/O in a compact package: 176 user I/Os in a 256‑BGA footprint enable high pin-count designs in space-constrained boards.
• Industrial-ready thermal range: Specified −40 °C to 85 °C operation for deployment in industrial environments.
• On-board reconfigurability and test support: Built-in JTAG boundary-scan and in-circuit reconfiguration options ease manufacturing test and field updates.
• Regulatory-friendly: RoHS compliance supports lead-free process flows and environmental requirements.
