EPF10K50ETC144-2N

The EPF10K50ETC144-2N is a FLEX-10KE family embedded programmable logic device from Intel, delivered in a 144-LQFP package. It combines 2,880 logic elements with approximately 40,960 bits of embedded RAM and a maximum system gate count of 199,000 to support mid-density, reconfigurable digital logic.

Targeted at commercial embedded designs, the device provides on-chip memory, dedicated arithmetic and cascade resources, and 102 user I/O pins in a surface-mount 144-pin footprint, operating from a 2.3 V to 2.7 V supply and rated for 0 °C to 70 °C.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  2,880 logic elements and a maximum system gate count of 199,000 provide mid-range programmable logic density for custom control and data-path functions.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 40,960 bits of on-chip RAM across embedded array blocks (EABs), supporting dual-port operation and up to 16-bit widths for efficient local storage and buffering.
• I/O and Voltage  102 user I/O pins with a device supply range of 2.3 V to 2.7 V, enabling integration with 2.5 V systems and common peripheral voltage domains.
• Dedicated Arithmetic and Cascade Resources  Built-in carry and cascade chains accelerate adders, counters, comparators, and high-fan-in logic without consuming additional general logic elements.
• Configuration and Test  In-circuit reconfigurability and JTAG boundary-scan support are provided at the device/family level for programming and test access.
• Package and Mounting  Surface-mount 144-LQFP package (supplier designation: 144-TQFP, 20×20) for compact PCB integration and standard assembly flows.
• Commercial Grade  Device is specified for commercial operating temperatures from 0 °C to 70 °C and is RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• System Integration / SOPC  Use as a system-on-a-programmable-chip component for integrating custom control logic, peripheral glue, and local memory in commercial embedded systems.
• Interface and Glue Logic  Implement protocol adapters, bus arbitration, and custom I/O timing adjustments using the device’s programmable logic and I/O resources.
• Memory and Buffering  Leverage dual-port embedded RAM blocks for small FIFO buffers, lookup tables, and temporary storage in data-path applications.
• Prototyping and Proof-of-Concept  Ideal for mid-density FPGA prototyping where 2,880 logic elements and on-chip RAM deliver a balance of capacity and board-level simplicity.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory:  Combines 2,880 logic elements with approximately 40,960 bits of embedded RAM, reducing the need for external memory in many designs.
• Compact, Standard Package:  144-LQFP (surface-mount) footprint simplifies PCB layout and supports common assembly processes while keeping pin count practical for mid-density designs.
• Dedicated Hardware Paths:  Built-in carry and cascade chains accelerate arithmetic and high-fan-in logic, improving performance for counters, adders, and complex combinatorial functions.
• Configurable and Testable:  In-circuit reconfigurability and JTAG boundary-scan enable iterative development, field updates, and board-level testability.
• Commercial Readiness:  Rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operation with RoHS compliance, suitable for a wide range of commercial embedded products.
