EPF10K40RC240-4

The EPF10K40RC240-4 is a FLEX-10K family field-programmable gate array (FPGA) from Intel designed for commercial embedded logic applications. It combines a logic array and embedded memory to implement custom logic, on-chip megafunctions, and system-level integration in a single programmable device.

Targeted at commercial embedded designs that require moderate logic density and abundant I/O, this device delivers 2,304 logic elements, approximately 16,384 bits of embedded RAM, and up to 189 user I/O pins in a 240-BFQFP exposed-pad package, operating from a 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply and rated for 0 °C to 70 °C.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 2,304 logic elements and 288 logic array blocks (LABs) provide moderate-density programmable logic for custom combinational and sequential functions.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 16,384 bits of on-chip RAM support storage for FIFOs, small tables, and megafunctions without reducing logic capacity.
• I/O and Interfacing — 189 user I/O pins enable dense external connectivity for buses, sensors, and peripherals in I/O-heavy designs.
• Gate Count — Listed system gates value of 93,000 for planning system-level capacity and partitioning.
• Supply and Power — Designed for 5.0-V class systems with a supply range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V.
• Packaging and Mounting — 240-BFQFP exposed pad (240-RQFP, 32×32) surface-mount package provides thermal dissipation options and board-level compatibility.
• Configuration and Test — Supports in-circuit reconfigurability via external configuration device, intelligent controller, or JTAG; includes built-in JTAG boundary-scan (IEEE Std. 1149.1) for board-level test access.
• Clock and Arithmetic Support — Family-level features include dedicated carry and cascade chains plus low-skew clock distribution to implement high-performance adders and wide logic efficiently.
• Commercial Temperature Range — Operates across 0 °C to 70 °C for commercial-grade applications.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS environmental requirements for lead-free assembly.

Typical Applications

• Embedded System Integration — Implement SOPC-style integration and custom logic blocks for commercial embedded products that require on-chip memory and configurable logic.
• Interface Bridging & Protocol Glue — Use the abundant I/O to bridge peripheral buses, adapt signal standards, and implement protocol translation in board-level designs.
• Control and Sequencing — Implement industrial control sequencing, state machines, and timing-critical control logic where deterministic programmable logic is required.
• High I/O Peripheral Management — Manage multiple sensors, displays, and user-interface peripherals using the device’s 189 I/O pins and embedded RAM for buffering.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory — 2,304 logic elements paired with approximately 16,384 bits of embedded RAM enable mixed logic-plus-memory megafunctions without sacrificing logic capacity.
• High I/O Density — 189 user I/O pins allow compact designs that require many external connections, reducing the need for additional interface chips.
• Board-Ready Packaging — 240-BFQFP exposed-pad surface-mount package simplifies thermal management and supports common PCB assembly processes.
• In-Circuit Reconfigurability and Test — JTAG boundary-scan and multiple configuration options streamline development, programming, and board-level diagnostics.
• Commercial Deployment — Designed for commercial temperature ranges and RoHS-compliant production, suitable for mainstream embedded product lines.
