EPF10K50ETC144-3N

The EPF10K50ETC144-3N is a FLEX-10KE family field programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 144-pin LQFP package designed for commercial-grade embedded logic applications. It combines a general-purpose logic array with embedded memory resources to implement custom logic, on-chip storage, and system-level functions within a single, reconfigurable device.

With thousands of logic elements, tens of kilobits of embedded RAM and a substantial I/O count, this device targets applications that require flexible integration of combinational and memory-based functions while maintaining a compact surface-mount package and commercial temperature operation.

Key Features

• Architecture – FLEX 10K family: Embedded programmable logic device family with an embedded array for implementing megafunctions and a logic array for general logic functions (series-level capability).
• Logic capacity: 2,880 logic elements, enabling mid-range combinational and sequential logic integration.
• On-chip memory: 40,960 total RAM bits for implementing FIFOs, small buffers, lookup tables or other memory-backed functions.
• Gate count: 199,000 gates (device-specific specification) for estimating system-level resource usage.
• I/O and interfaces: 102 user I/O pins supporting flexible external interfacing and peripheral connections.
• Power supply: Single-supply operation from 2.3 V to 2.7 V as specified for this device.
• Package and mounting: 144-LQFP (supplier package: 144-TQFP 20×20) in a surface-mount form factor for compact PCB designs.
• Commercial temperature grade: Rated for 0 °C to 70 °C operating temperature.
• Testability and configuration: Built-in JTAG boundary-scan test circuitry (IEEE Std. 1149.1) as described for the FLEX 10K family, available without consuming device logic.
• RoHS compliant: Device meets RoHS environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• System logic integration: Implement glue logic, protocol conversion, and custom control functions where on-chip reconfigurable logic and embedded RAM reduce external components.
• Embedded memory functions: Use on-chip RAM for small buffering, FIFOs, and lookup tables in communications or data-path designs.
• Prototyping and development platforms: Mid-density programmable logic suitable for evaluating custom architectures and accelerating time-to-market for new designs.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced mid-range capacity: 2,880 logic elements and 40,960 bits of RAM offer a balance of logic and memory for many embedded functions without large-footprint devices.
• Compact, surface-mount package: 144-LQFP (20×20) keeps board area low while providing a solid I/O count for moderate connectivity needs.
• Commercial-grade suitability: Specified for 0 °C to 70 °C operation and RoHS compliance, simplifying selection for commercial electronics designs.
• Built-in test and configuration: JTAG boundary-scan support enables in-circuit testability and in-system configuration capabilities as part of the FLEX 10K family feature set.
• Flexible I/O and integration: 102 user I/O pins allow direct interfacing to peripherals and external logic without excessive glue logic.

Why Choose EPF10K50ETC144-3N?
