EPF10K40RC208-4

The EPF10K40RC208-4 is a FLEX 10K family field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Intel, delivered in a 208-BFQFP exposed pad surface-mount package. It provides a mid-density programmable logic fabric with embedded memory and a substantial I/O complement for commercial embedded designs.

Designed for system-level integration, the device targets commercial embedded systems, communications modules, instrumentation, and consumer electronics that require configurable logic, integrated RAM, and flexible interfacing at a 5.0 V supply level.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 2,304 logic elements (LEs) and approximately 93,000 gates enable implementation of medium-complexity digital functions and state machines.
• Embedded Memory — 16,384 total RAM bits of on-chip embedded memory to support buffers, FIFOs, and small data structures without external SRAM.
• I/O and Connectivity — 147 user I/O pins provide broad interfacing options for sensors, peripherals, buses, and external devices.
• Package and Mounting — 208-BFQFP exposed pad (supplier package 208-RQFP, 28×28) in a surface-mount format to support thermal management and PCB assembly requirements.
• Supply and Temperature — Operates from 4.75 V to 5.25 V with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 70 °C, appropriate for commercial-grade applications.
• Reconfiguration and Test — Supports in-circuit reconfigurability via external configuration devices, intelligent controllers, or JTAG; includes built-in IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan test circuitry without consuming device logic.
• Routing and Arithmetic Support — Family features include a FastTrack interconnect structure and dedicated carry/cascade chains for efficient arithmetic and high-fan-in logic implementations.
• RoHS Compliance — Device is RoHS compliant, supporting environmental compliance requirements for commercial products.

Typical Applications

• Commercial Embedded Systems — Implement control logic, custom peripherals, and protocol bridges in consumer and commercial products using the device’s logic and on-chip RAM.
• Interface and I/O Bridging — Use the 147 user I/O pins to connect multiple peripherals, translate between bus standards, or concentrate signals for system controllers.
• Prototyping and Custom Logic — Rapidly iterate custom logic designs and finite-state machines with in-circuit reconfigurability and JTAG for development and test.
• Communications and Instrumentation — Implement data buffering, simple packet processing, or glue logic using embedded RAM and dedicated carry chains for arithmetic functions.

Unique Advantages

• Highly Integrated Logic and Memory: 2,304 logic elements combined with 16,384 bits of embedded RAM reduce the need for external components and simplify board-level designs.
• Broad I/O Count: 147 user I/Os provide flexibility to interface with multiple peripherals and subsystems without multiplexing compromises.
• 5 V System Compatibility: Designed for a 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply range, allowing straightforward integration into established 5 V commercial platforms.
• Design-for-Test and Reconfiguration: Built-in IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan and support for in-circuit reconfiguration streamline board bring-up, programming, and field updates.
• Thermal and Assembly-Friendly Package: The 208-BFQFP exposed pad package supports surface-mount assembly and board-level thermal management for sustained operation in commercial environments.
• Vendor Design Support: FLEX 10K family documentation and tool support facilitate design entry, automatic place-and-route, and implementation workflows.
