EPF10K40RC240-4N

The EPF10K40RC240-4N is a FLEX 10K family embedded programmable logic device (PLD) designed for system-level integration and reconfigurable logic. It provides a balanced mix of logic resources, embedded RAM, and I/O density for designers building mid-range programmable systems.

Built for 5.0‑V board environments (4.75 V to 5.25 V), this surface-mount device is supplied in a 240‑pin BFQFP package with exposed pad and is targeted at commercial-temperature applications where reconfigurable logic and embedded memory are required.

Key Features

• Logic Resources – 2,304 logic elements (LEs) organized into 288 LABs, providing programmable logic capacity suitable for moderate-density designs.
• Embedded Memory – 16,384 bits of on-chip RAM to implement buffers, small lookup tables, and megafunctions without external memory.
• I/O Density – 189 user I/O pins for flexible external interfacing and board-level connectivity.
• Gate Capacity – Up to 93,000 system gates for implementing combined logic and RAM functions.
• Power and Voltage – Designed for 5.0‑V operation with a supply range of 4.75 V to 5.25 V for compatibility with legacy 5V systems.
• Package and Mounting – 240‑BFQFP with exposed pad (supplier package 240‑RQFP, 32×32); surface-mount mounting for PCB assembly compatibility.
• Temperature Range – Commercial operating range of 0 °C to 70 °C suitable for standard commercial applications.
• Family-Level System Features – FLEX 10K family capabilities include in-circuit reconfigurability, built-in JTAG boundary-scan, low-skew clock distribution, dedicated carry and cascade chains, and flexible interconnect structures.
• Regulatory – RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• System Integration and SOPC – Use the device to consolidate glue logic, peripheral control, and custom interfaces in system-on-programmable-chip designs.
• Memory and Buffering – Leverage the 16,384 bits of embedded RAM for small data buffers, FIFOs, and lookup tables in data path designs.
• Peripheral and Interface Glue – Deploy the available 189 I/Os for board-level interfacing, protocol bridging, and peripheral control in commercial products.
• Reconfigurable Logic Prototyping – Suitable for developing and iterating mid-density logic functions where in-circuit reconfigurability is needed.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory: Combines 2,304 logic elements with 16,384 bits of embedded RAM for efficient implementation of mixed logic–memory functions.
• High I/O Count for Mid-Range Devices: 189 user I/O pins enable broad connectivity without stepping up to larger device families.
• 5V Board Compatibility: Designed to operate from a 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply, simplifying integration into existing 5.0‑V systems.
• Reconfigurability and Test Support: Supports in-circuit reconfigurability and includes JTAG boundary-scan for configuration and production test access.
• Proven Family Architecture: Built on FLEX 10K family features such as low-skew clock distribution, dedicated arithmetic carry chains, and scalable interconnect structures.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets RoHS requirements for lead-free assembly and regulatory conformity.
